Image to Text uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract written or printed text from photos and images. Upload any image containing text and get an editable, copyable plain-text result instantly.
Drop your image. Tesseract.js (Google's open-source OCR engine, compiled to WebAssembly) analyzes the image pixel-by-pixel, identifies character shapes, and outputs the recognized text — entirely in your browser. No image is ever uploaded.
