Image OCR Text Extractor | Copy Text from Images
Extract editable text from screenshots, scanned pages, labels, receipts, and photos using browser-based OCR.
Extract Text from Images
Upload a screenshot, scan, receipt, label, or photographed page to detect readable text and turn it into copyable content. It helps when you need text from an image without retyping it by hand.
Improving OCR Accuracy
Use clear images, straight page alignment, good lighting, and the correct recognition language. Blurry photos, handwriting, small fonts, glare, and busy backgrounds can reduce accuracy.
When to Review Extracted Text
Always proofread names, numbers, addresses, prices, and legal or medical details after OCR. Treat the output as a starting point, not a verified transcript.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is the text recognition?
Accuracy depends on image quality, font clarity, and contrast. Sharp, well-lit images with standard printed fonts achieve near-perfect accuracy.
What image formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF, and WebP are all accepted. For best results use the highest resolution version available.
Can it extract text from a photo of a screen?
Yes, though screen glare, angle, and compression artefacts reduce accuracy. A direct screenshot gives better results than a photo of a screen.
