How to Image OCR

Turn screenshots, whiteboard photos, and scanned pages into copy-paste text. Image OCR reads characters from the picture so you can edit notes, quotes, and form fields digitally.

To use Image OCR:

  1. Upload a photo, screenshot, or scanned image that contains text.
  2. Start OCR and wait while the tool reads the characters.
  3. Review the extracted text in the result box.
  4. Copy the text into your document, chat, or notes.

With our Image OCR, you can:

  • Skip retyping long text from photos and scans
  • Capture notes from whiteboards and printed pages on the go
  • Works in the browser on mobile and desktop
  • Free OCR with no account required

What is Image OCR?

Image OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is a free tool that extracts editable text from photos, screenshots, and scanned documents. Upload an image and copy the text instead of typing it by hand.

Free Image OCR — Extract Text from Photos & Scans

Handy for students, office work, and sellers who capture price tags or labels on their phone and need the text in a message or document.

For best results, use sharp, well-lit images with readable fonts. After extraction, run Word Counter on the text or paste it into your docs, captions, and invoices.
