Image to Text — FAQ
Upload a photo or screenshot and the OCR engine extracts the text for you to copy.
Yes, it is free with no signup and no limits on everyday use.
Clear, well-lit photos give the best results; blurry or tiny text may need a second try.
Yes, OCR runs in your browser, so your images never leave your device.
Common formats like JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported.
Yes, screenshots are one of the best uses for OCR because their text is sharp and evenly lit. Upload the screenshot and the extracted text appears on the page in a copyable text box. You can then paste it into a document, email, or note without retyping anything.
Yes, the OCR supports English and Urdu printed text, so you can pick the language that matches your image before scanning. Clear, straight photos of printed pages give the most reliable results in both languages. Decorative fonts and handwriting remain harder for any OCR engine to read.
Blur, shadows, tilted pages, and very small text are the usual causes of OCR mistakes. Retake the photo straight-on in good light, crop away empty borders, and make sure the text fills the frame. Running the clearer image again normally fixes most missing or jumbled words.
It can attempt handwritten notes, but results vary a lot because handwriting styles differ so much between people. Neat, separated letters on plain lined paper work best, while joined or decorative writing often produces errors. For important notes, always proofread the extracted text against the original photo.
The result appears inline in a copyable box, so you can paste it straight into Word, an email, or a notes app. Many people digitize receipts, business cards, book pages, and whiteboard photos this way. Because OCR runs in your browser, the workflow stays fast and completely private.
