What is Image to Text?

Image to Text uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract written or printed text from photos and images. Upload any image containing text and get an editable, copyable plain-text result instantly.

How It Works

Drop your image. Tesseract.js (Google's open-source OCR engine, compiled to WebAssembly) analyzes the image pixel-by-pixel, identifies character shapes, and outputs the recognized text — entirely in your browser. No image is ever uploaded.

Key Benefits

  • Supports JPG, PNG, WEBP, BMP, GIF, TIFF and more
  • Powered by Tesseract OCR — the world's most-used open-source OCR
  • Copy to clipboard or download as a .txt file
  • Free — no account or registration needed
