About this tool
Image to Text uses optical character recognition to read the text inside a photo, screenshot or scanned page and turn it into editable, copyable text. The OCR engine runs entirely in your browser, so your image is never uploaded to a server and stays completely private. It supports many languages and works on receipts, book pages, business cards, signs and more. The first run downloads the language data once, then further scans are quicker.
