About image to text (OCR)
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) reads the text inside an image or scan and turns it into editable, searchable text. This tool uses the Tesseract engine running in your browser to extract words from screenshots, photos of documents and scanned pages.
What is TXT?
TXT is plain text with no formatting, fonts or layout — just characters. It is the most portable, future-proof way to store words, readable on any device and in any editor, which makes it perfect for notes, logs and source data.
Why TXT?
TXT is a great choice when you need notes and logs and source text for other tools.
What TXT gives you: opens everywhere, tiny and future-proof and easy to search and edit.
Tips
- Clear, high-contrast images give the most accurate results.
- Straighten and crop the photo to just the text for better accuracy.
- Recognition runs on your device, so private documents stay private.
