What It Does
The Image to Text Converter runs optical character recognition (OCR) directly in your browser to pull editable text out of screenshots, photos, and scanned documents. Drop in up to ten images, pick the language, and copy or download the extracted text per image. Because the OCR engine runs locally via WebAssembly, your images are never uploaded anywhere.
Who It Helps
Anyone who has text trapped in an image: a screenshot of an error message, a photographed whiteboard, a scanned letter, a slide from a webinar. Instead of retyping, you get selectable text in seconds — privately, since nothing leaves your device.
How to Use
- Drag and drop images onto the upload area, or click to browse
- Select the language of the text in your images
- Wait a few seconds while the OCR engine processes each image
- Review the extracted text next to each image
- Copy the text or download it as a .txt file
Why It Matters
Retyping text from images is slow and error-prone, and most online OCR tools require uploading your images to someone's server — a non-starter for screenshots of internal dashboards, contracts, or customer data. Local OCR removes both problems: the speed of automation with the privacy of never uploading.
