Turn photographed or scanned text into editable text

Image OCR is useful for screenshots, scanned pages, signs, receipts and photographed documents when you need the visible text in a copyable format. The tool analyzes the uploaded JPG or PNG and returns the recognized text.

For the best recognition, use a clear image with strong contrast, minimal blur and text that is not heavily tilted. Decorative fonts, handwriting and low-resolution photos may produce less accurate results.

OCR Image to Text: practical guide

Extract text from images with OCR

OCR Image to Text is useful when written content is trapped inside a photo, screenshot, scan, or image file and needs to become selectable, searchable, or reusable text.

When image OCR is useful

Use it for photographed documents, scanned notices, receipts, forms, screenshots, labels, printed notes, and other image-based content where manually retyping would be slow.

How to improve OCR accuracy

Clear, straight, high-resolution images with good lighting and strong contrast usually produce better results. Blur, shadows, handwriting, decorative fonts, skewed images, and very small text can reduce recognition accuracy.

Image OCR vs PDF OCR

Use OCR Image to Text for JPG, PNG, and other supported image files. If the source is a scanned PDF, use OCR PDF to Text instead. For a focused image workflow, see OCR Image to Text Online.

Always review recognized text

OCR is automated recognition and can make mistakes. Review names, numbers, dates, addresses, legal text, and other important information before relying on the result.
