About this Image to Text tool
Image to Text runs OCR on a photo, screenshot or scanned image and gives you the text it contains, ready to copy — instead of retyping it. It reads printed text from receipts, business cards, book pages, whiteboards, signs, screenshots of error messages, and photographed documents, and supports both English and Arabic including mixed-language images. Recognition quality depends mainly on the source: sharp, well-lit, straight-on images of printed text are read with very high accuracy, while blurry photos, angled shots and stylized fonts reduce it. Handwriting recognition is limited — clear block letters sometimes work, cursive usually does not.

Useful tips
- For scanned PDFs, tools with OCR support run text recognition automatically where possible.
- For large files, use compression tools before sharing by email or uploading to portals.
- For best results, upload clean files with the correct extension and avoid corrupted documents.
Frequently asked questions
What images can text be extracted from?
Photos, screenshots and scans in common formats (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and more). Receipts, book pages, business cards, signs, whiteboard photos and screenshots all work well when the text is printed and legible.
Does it read handwriting?
Only to a limited degree. Neat block capitals are sometimes recognized; cursive or messy handwriting generally is not. OCR is designed for printed text.
Which languages are supported?
English and Arabic, including images containing both. Select the language that matches your image for the best accuracy.
How do I get the most accurate results?
Shoot straight-on in good light, fill the frame with the text, and avoid blur. Higher-resolution images with dark text on a light background recognize best.
What do I do with the extracted text?
It appears on the page ready to copy and paste anywhere — a document, spreadsheet, email or translator. Nothing is locked behind a download.
What about text inside a PDF?
Use OCR PDF for scanned PDF documents — it embeds the recognized text back into the PDF so it becomes searchable — or PDF to Word if you want an editable document.
