How to use Image to text

Drop a screenshot or photo of text. The first run fetches the OCR model. Then Tesseract reads the image and fills an editable box you can copy. For dense documents, a flat scan beats a dim phone photo. Try PDF to Word if the source is already a text PDF.

Optical character recognition powered by Tesseract.js. English by default. Runs locally after the language data downloads once.
