What this tool does
OCR (optical character recognition) reads the letters and words visible in a photo or screenshot and turns them into real, selectable, copyable text — instead of you retyping everything by hand.
How it works
- Upload a photo or screenshot that contains text.
- The tool reads the image and extracts everything it can find.
- Copy the text, or download it as a .txt file.
Example: Upload a photo of a printed page or a screenshot of a document, and get back the same words as plain, selectable text you can paste straight into an email or a document.

It handles image upload -> extracted text. If your file is in a different format, use the Image converter tools linked from this page first.
Your file is used only to generate your result for this one task. It is not stored long-term, shared, or used for anything else.
