Free Image to Text OCR Tool

Extract text from one image at a time using server-side Tesseract OCR.

1. Upload Your Image

Images are processed by your website server using Tesseract and temporary files are removed after processing. This tool does not send images to a third-party OCR API.

2. Review Extracted Text

Upload an image to begin. OCR accuracy depends on text sharpness, lighting and language.

How to Extract Text from an Image

Upload a Photo

Select a screenshot, photo or scan in JPG, PNG or WebP format.

Recognize Characters

Choose the language and run OCR with the installed server engine.

Edit and Download

Correct recognition mistakes, copy your text or export it as a TXT file.

Convert JPG, PNG and WebP to Text

OCR recognizes visible printed characters from an image rather than converting its image data into a document. Good contrast and clear lettering improve results. Handwriting, complex layouts and low-resolution photos may be less accurate.

Why OCR Accuracy Varies

Blur, rotation, decorative fonts, mixed columns and missing Tesseract language packs can affect extraction. This tool produces editable plain text, not searchable PDFs or Word documents.

Image to Text FAQs

Can I extract text from a screenshot?

Yes. Upload a clear JPG, PNG or WebP screenshot and run OCR.

Does this tool recognize Urdu and Arabic?

Those languages are options, but recognition works only if the matching language packs are installed on the web server.

Will OCR copy text perfectly?

No. Results depend on readability, image quality, font and language. Check the extracted text before using it.

Does it support PDFs or batch OCR?

No. This page handles a single JPG, PNG or WebP per request. For searchable PDFs, use the separate OCR PDF tool.
