Image to Text FAQ
Is my image uploaded when I convert image to text?
No. The whole image to text process runs inside your browser, and the page is designed so your image stays on your device.
Why does the first run take longer?
The first time you extract text from an image, your browser completes a one-time setup. After that it is cached, so later visits are much faster.
Which images work best for image to text?
Screenshots, scanned notes, receipts, and clear photos convert best. Very blurry pictures or complex tables may need a little manual cleanup.
Can it extract text from a photo or picture too?
Yes. You can convert a photo to text or a picture to text the same way. Clear, well-lit images with readable text give the best results.
Can I convert image to text on my phone?
Yes. The image to text converter works on most modern mobile browsers, so you can extract text from a photo or screenshot directly on your phone. Clear, reasonably sized images work best.
Is this image to text converter really free?
Yes, it is 100% free with no signup and no install. You can extract text from screenshots, receipts, and photos as long as each image fits the supported size and format limits.

It is tuned for clear English and Chinese text, and it also handles mixed English and Chinese in the same image. Clean, high-contrast text always gives the best results.
Which image formats are supported?
You can convert PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WebP images to text. Drop a file, paste a screenshot, or choose an image, then copy or export the extracted text as TXT, Markdown, or Word document (.docx).
