Image to Text FAQ

Is this image to text converter free?

Yes. No account, no limit and no watermark.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Text recognition runs in your browser; the pictures never leave your device.

How accurate is it?

Clear printed text in a sharp, straight photo is read very accurately. Handwriting, very small text and blurry photos give more mistakes; you can correct the text before saving.

Which languages are supported?

Can it read a screenshot?

Yes. Paste it straight from the clipboard with Ctrl+V (⌘V on a Mac).
