Image to Text Converter

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) converts pixels in images into editable text — useful for screenshots, scans, and photos of documents.

This image to text converter uses Tesseract OCR online through VSPIC — upload up to five images (4 MB each) and copy or download the extracted text.

You upload images; the server runs OCR and returns recognized characters per file, combined into one output block.

Language selection changes the trained model used for character recognition.

• PNG — screenshots and UI captures.
• JPG / JPEG — photos and scans.
• WebP — modern web images.
• Not supported: PDF directly — save pages as images first.

• Use high contrast (dark text on light background).
• Crop to the text region only.
• Straighten skewed scans before upload.
• Pick the correct language pack.
• Proofread numbers and names — OCR confuses 0/O and 1/l often.

• Digitize printed notes and handouts.
• Extract quotes from book photos.
• Copy text from blocked copy-paste UIs via screenshot.
• Pull line items from receipt photos.

No desktop install — photo to text in the browser.

Download extracted text as a .txt file.

Batch up to five images per run.

Students use screenshot to text for lecture slides and library pages — cite sources properly and verify formulas manually.

Teams digitize invoices and delivery notes into spreadsheets — pair OCR with human review for accounting compliance.

Scanning archives to searchable text starts with consistent image quality and OCR, then metadata tagging in your DMS.

• Handwriting accuracy varies widely.
• Tables and multi-column layouts may scramble order.
• Decorative fonts and watermarks reduce quality.
• No automatic translation — OCR only extracts characters.

Press OS screenshot shortcuts, upload the PNG, and run Convert — ideal for error dialogs, chat snippets, and UI labels you cannot select.

Export PDF pages as PNG or JPEG at 200+ DPI, then upload here. Native PDF text layers do not need OCR — copy directly from a PDF reader when available.

Use dark ink on white paper, good lighting, and expect edits — handwriting OCR is experimental compared to printed text.

Flatten receipts, avoid shadows, and verify tax IDs and totals manually before bookkeeping entry.
