Image to Text

Overview

Turn screenshots, scanned notes, labels, and photos of printed text into editable text without uploading the image. Choose the text language, run OCR, review the result, then copy it or download a TXT file.

Best for

• Extracting printed text from screenshots and screen captures.
• Turning a clear photo or scan into editable text.
• Copying text from labels, slides, receipts, and simple documents.
• Keeping everyday OCR images in the browser.

Not for

• Guaranteed handwriting recognition or exact document layout reconstruction.
• High-stakes transcription without reviewing names, numbers, and punctuation.
• PDF files, multi-image batches, encrypted documents, or professional archival OCR.

How it works

1. Choose one PNG, JPG, or WebP image.
2. Select the main language visible in the image.
3. Extract the text, review the editable result, then copy or download it.

Limits and privacy

Images are limited to 10 MB and 20,000,000 pixels. OCR accuracy depends on focus, contrast, font, orientation, language, handwriting, and layout. The first run downloads the OCR engine and selected language model, which can take longer on a slow connection.

Common uses

• Copy text from a screenshot when it cannot be selected.
• Extract a paragraph from a clear textbook or document photo.
• Turn a printed note, label, or slide into editable text.
• Create a TXT draft from a simple scan before proofreading.

Useful facts

• Tiny Work Tools Image to Text runs OCR locally in the browser after the required model downloads.
• The tool supports 15 selectable OCR languages and keeps the result editable before download.
