Extract Text
Can OCR extract text from a screenshot?
Yes. Upload a PNG or JPG screenshot and the OCR tool will convert the visible text into editable copy.
Paste or upload a screenshot and copy the text you cannot select on screen.
Drop a PNG or JPG screenshot here. Perfect for error messages, chats, and UI text.
Screenshots are images, so you usually cannot highlight the text. Screenshot OCR solves that: upload the capture and get editable text for error messages, chat bubbles, tables, or locked UI copy.
This landing is focused on screen captures. For full-page document photos, the image-to-text page may be a better fit.
Capture the screen (Win+Shift+S, Cmd+Shift+4, or your phone’s screenshot tool), save the image, upload it here, and run OCR. Then copy the result into email, tickets, or notes.
Crop tightly around the text for better accuracy. Dark mode UI, tiny fonts, and overlapping windows can reduce quality — zoom in before capturing when possible.
Use PNG when you can — it keeps sharp edges on UI fonts. Avoid heavy compression. If the screenshot is skewed, retake it instead of rotating a blurry crop.
