Screenshot to text

Copy the text out of a screenshot — error messages, chats, slides, documents — without retyping it. It all runs on your device. Your files are never uploaded — everything runs on your device.

How it works

  1. Paste or drop your screenshot

    Drag in a screenshot (or any PNG/JPG), or click to choose one. It stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

  2. Extract the text

    Click “Extract text”. The words in the screenshot are recognized on your device in a second or two.

  3. Copy it anywhere

    Tidy up anything in the editable box, then copy the text straight into your notes, chat or code.

What you get

No more retyping

Pull the text out of an error message, a chat bubble, a slide or a screenshot of a document — instead of typing it out by hand.

Editable, with confidence

The recognized text lands in an editable box with a confidence score, so you can fix the odd character before you copy.

Private and free

No account, no limits, no watermark. Your screenshot is never uploaded — recognition runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Is my screenshot uploaded?
No. The text recognition runs on your own device in the browser. The screenshot is never uploaded, and nothing is kept once you close the tab.
What screenshots work best?
Clear, high-resolution screenshots of typed text — error messages, chats, slides, documents, terminals. Very small or blurry captures are harder.
Can I copy code from a screenshot?
Yes. The text lands in an editable monospace box you can clean up and copy, which is handy for code, commands and error text.
Is it free?
Completely free, with no limits — everything runs on your device, so there is nothing to meter.

Also try image to text (OCR) for photos and scans, handwriting OCR for handwritten pages, or the PDF tools.
