About
Image to Text Online Free lets you extract text from screenshots, photos, and scanned documents using OCR that runs locally in your browser. No image upload, no signup, and no privacy tradeoff. Paste an image or pick a file, review the recognized text, and copy or download it as a file.
Use Cases
- Convert screenshots, photos, or scanned pages with printed text into editable text in the browser, then copy or download it as TXT
- Extract text from image attachments like error dialogs, order screenshots, or shipping labels to paste into a support ticket or CRM note
- Pull quotes and copy from social posts, product mockups, or image-based drafts for rewriting or archiving
Who it is for
- Students and researchers turning scanned pages, slides, or photographed quotes into searchable notes
- Support and operations teams handling image attachments in tickets and internal checklists
- Writers and marketers who need editable copy from screenshots or visual drafts
Pricing
The tool is free with no signup required. Images are processed locally in the browser rather than sent to an OCR API.
FAQ
Is this image to text tool free?
Yes. The first version is a free image to text tool that runs OCR in your browser. There is no signup, payment, or paid OCR API call required for normal image extraction.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
The OCR job runs locally in your browser. The site serves OCR engine files and an English language model, but the selected image is not sent to a third-party OCR API in the free workflow.
Which image formats work best?
JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and non-animated GIF files are the best fit. PNG usually works well for screenshots, while JPG works well for clear photos and scans.
Can I extract text from multiple images?
Yes. Add several images and the tool processes them in a queue with one local OCR worker. You can copy the combined result or download a TXT file.
Does local image to text support handwriting?
Not reliably. Tesseract-style OCR is built for printed text. Handwriting, formulas, and complex tables should be treated as enhanced OCR candidates for a later API-backed mode.
Can this image to text tool process PDFs?
This first release focuses on image files. PDF OCR is planned as a separate workflow because PDFs require text-layer extraction or page rendering before OCR.
How can I improve a bad OCR result?
Try a sharper image, crop around the text, increase contrast, avoid angled photos, and switch the layout mode. Screenshots usually work better than photos of screens.
Why does the first OCR run take longer?
The browser must load the OCR worker, WebAssembly core, and English language data. After that, browser caching usually makes later image to text runs faster.
