Extract text from an image nowUnlock text hidden in images
Whether it's a photo of a whiteboard, a scanned contract, a screenshot of a web page, or a picture of a receipt, OCR frees the text so you can search, copy, or reuse it.
Instead of retyping paragraphs by hand, our tool reads the text for you in seconds and lets you copy it or download it as a file.
Works on-device for privacy
The OCR runs right in your browser, so photos of documents, IDs, or notes are never uploaded to a server. It's fast, free, and private.
