Extract text from any image with OCR
Optical character recognition (OCR) reads the text inside a picture — a scanned page, a screenshot, a photo of a document or a whiteboard — and turns it into real, editable text you can copy, search and reuse. No more retyping documents by hand.
This OCR tool supports seven languages including English, Hindi, Nepali, Arabic, German, French and Spanish, and shows the recognised text instantly so you can copy it to your clipboard or download it as a text file.
Tips for the best OCR accuracy
Clear input makes clear output: use a sharp, well-lit image, keep the text horizontal, and crop away busy backgrounds when you can. Higher-resolution images recognise noticeably better than small thumbnails — and printed text converts more accurately than handwriting.
