Extract text from images using free online OCR. Supports photos, screenshots, scanned documents. Copy extracted text instantly.
OCROptical Character Recognition converts text in images into selectable, copyable, searchable text. Our OCR tool runs entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js — no server upload needed. It handles printed text in photos, screenshots with UI text, scanned documents, handwritten notes (with varying accuracy), and text in complex backgrounds.
For best results: ensure good contrast between text and background, keep the image sharp and well-lit, crop to the text area if possible, and use images at least 300 DPI for small text. Rotated text is supported but straight-on photos work best.
