Free image-to-text conversion, with the original in view.

Paste or choose a screenshot, select its language and extract editable text. Keep the source beside the result while you correct and copy the words.

Copy text from a screenshot

Choose a JPG or PNG, or paste a screenshot. Drag over the useful area to crop, then extract the printed words.

Choose the language that best matches the image. The local reader downloads its code and one language file when first needed.

Recognition can misread names, accents, numbers and punctuation. Review the text against the image, especially for consequential information.

Printed text in clear JPG and PNG images works best. This version does not read handwriting, accept PDFs or preserve a document’s page layout.
