What Is Screenshot to Text OCR?

Screenshot to text (OCR) converts text inside images into editable, copyable text. Paste any screenshot — an error message, a PDF page, a receipt, a tweet, a scanned document — and the tool reads every word using optical character recognition right in your browser.

Unlike cloud OCR services, this tool runs entirely on your device: your screenshots never leave your computer. That makes it safe for passwords, private messages, and confidential documents.

Common Use Cases

Developers copy error messages that are locked in screenshots. Students turn lecture slides into notes. Accountants digitize paper receipts. Journalists quote text from images. Freelancers extract client feedback from image attachments. Anyone who has ever retyped a screenshot by hand will save hours with this tool.

How to Use

  1. Paste a screenshot with Ctrl/Cmd+V — or click to choose an image
  2. Wait a few seconds while the OCR engine reads the text
  3. Copy the extracted text with one click
