Extract printed text from photos and screenshots, then copy it or download a plain text file.
Free tools that often go together. Everything runs in your browser.
OCR (optical character recognition) reads letters and numbers from an image and turns them into editable plain text. People use it to copy text from a screenshot, pull numbers from a receipt photo, or recover wording from a scanned page without retyping. This Justools tool runs entirely in your browser, so the image stays on your device while text is extracted.
Anyone who needs text from a picture without opening desktop OCR software: students grabbing quotes from a slide screenshot, freelancers copying details from a receipt photo, and small businesses turning a clear document photo into notes. It is built for quick one-image jobs, not bulk document scanning workflows.
Clear screenshots and well-lit photos of printed text work best: sharp letters, good contrast, and the page mostly upright. Blurry phone photos, heavy shadows, decorative fonts, and handwriting usually produce weaker results. On busy screenshots with photos or UI chrome around the text, drag the crop box tightly around the words you need before extracting.
Not reliably. The engine is optimized for printed documents, receipts, and UI screenshots. Handwritten notes often fail or come back with many errors.
