How to Extract Text From Images Online

Image-to-text conversion is most reliable when the source image is easy to read. Before uploading, take a moment to prepare the image and choose the right language.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Open the OCR tool on the homepage.
  2. Upload an image file or paste a direct image URL.
  3. Select the language used in the image.
  4. Run OCR and wait for the extracted text to appear.
  5. Edit obvious mistakes, then copy or download the text.

Good source images

Use a clear JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, or similar browser-supported image. Text should be upright, not cropped off, and large enough to read on screen without zooming heavily. Screenshots often work well because they have clean edges and strong contrast.

After extraction

Always review the result before using it in a document or workflow. OCR may confuse similar characters, miss punctuation, or break lines in unexpected places. Names, invoice numbers, totals, and legal text deserve extra checking.

Start with the OCR tool

The homepage keeps the OCR interface near the top, so you can test the workflow without installing software.
