Features
Everything the image to text tool can do, laid out in one place.
What the tool does
Image text recognition
Upload a picture and the OCR engine reads the text it finds. You get the result as plain text on the page.
- Works with photos and graphics that contain text
- Runs online, with nothing to install
Screenshot text extraction
Chat messages, web pages, error dialogs, and slides are easy to copy once they are text instead of pixels.
- Clean screen captures give the best results
- Good for saving text you cannot select
Scanned document recognition
If a scan is saved as an image, IMGTextify can read the printed text on it so you can edit it instead of retyping it.
- Printed text works best
- Higher resolution scans read more cleanly
Fast processing
Most images take only a short time to process, so you can go from upload to result without a long wait.
- Processing time depends on image size
- Smaller, cropped images finish sooner
Editable, copyable output
The extracted text is yours to change. Fix any wrong characters, then copy it into a document, a message, or a sheet.
- Copy the result in one step
- Paste into any app that accepts text

- Proofread before you use it
Feature questions
Quick answers about what the tool can and cannot do.
Yes. Screenshots with clear text usually come out well because the characters are sharp.
It works on scans that are saved as images, as long as the printed text is readable. A higher resolution scan gives better output.
The tool is built for printed text. Very neat handwriting may sometimes come through, but we do not promise it.
Blur, low resolution, unusual fonts, and poor lighting all make characters harder to read. Try a sharper image, and check the output before you use it.
Yes. When the text appears, you can copy it and paste it into any document or app.
Language support depends on what is set up in the tool. Check the language options in the tool before you process a document in a specific language.
