How to Extract Text from an Image Online

This OCR tool reads the text from your photos, screenshots, scans and PDF pages entirely inside your browser — the image never leaves your device, so it stays completely private. Just drop an image into the area above and an OCR engine (Tesseract) runs locally on your machine to recognize the words. The extracted text appears in a box where you can copy it straight to your clipboard or download it as a .txt file. It works with English and German text, supports PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP and TIFF, and runs on any modern desktop or mobile browser. The first recognition downloads the OCR engine and language data (a few MB) and caches them, so the next one starts faster. Perfect for digitizing handwritten notes, pulling text out of screenshots, or copying text from scanned documents.
