What it does

Image to Text extracts written text from images using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Upload a photo, screenshot, scan, or any picture containing text — get a plain text result you can copy and edit.

How to use

  1. Drop or select an image — drag a file onto the drop zone, or click to browse. Supported: JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, GIF, and other common formats.
  2. Choose language — pick English, Russian, or Auto for mixed-language images.
  3. Click Extract Text — the OCR engine analyzes the image and returns the recognized text.
  4. Copy the result — use the Copy button or select text manually.

Language support

Three recognition modes are available:

  • English — optimized for Latin text.
  • Russian — optimized for Cyrillic text.
  • Auto (EN+RU) — recognizes both English and Russian simultaneously; use for documents or screenshots with mixed languages.

First-run download

On first use, the OCR language model (~5 MB per language) is downloaded and cached in your browser. Subsequent uses load instantly.

Accuracy tips

  • High contrast images produce the best results — black text on white background works perfectly.
  • Avoid blurry or low-resolution photos; text must be legible.
  • Printed documents, books, and clean screenshots give near-perfect results.
  • Handwritten text is partially supported but accuracy varies.
