Extracting text from images is essential for digitizing printed documents, copying text from screenshots, and making image-based content searchable. Our free Image to Text (OCR) tool uses advanced optical character recognition technology to accurately read and extract text from any image. Whether you have a screenshot of a webpage, a photo of a printed page, a scanned document, or a whiteboard photo, our tool converts the visual text into editable, copyable, and searchable plain text in seconds. The tool supports multiple languages including English, Arabic, and Hindi, with automatic text region detection that preserves reading order. Each extracted line includes a confidence score so you can verify accuracy. All processing happens on our secure servers, and your images are never stored permanently.
