Free and easy to use
Extract text from one JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WebP image up to 10 MB and 12 megapixels. No signup required.
JPG and PNG to text

Review, edit, and copy your text
OCR can make mistakes. Check names, dates, numbers, and punctuation in the editable result before copying it or downloading a plain TXT file. This tool extracts text, rather than preserving the image layout or creating a Word document.
