Tips for Best Text Recognition

  • Use a sharp, well-lit image — OCR accuracy drops on blurry photos
  • Select the correct language instead of Auto when you know it
  • Crop out backgrounds so only the text remains for cleaner results
  • For multi-column layouts, expect text in reading order, not columns
  • Scanned documents work best at 300 DPI or higher

Image to Text - FAQ

How do I extract text from an image?
Upload your image (JPG, PNG, HEIC, etc.), pick the language or leave it on Auto, and click Extract Text. The recognized text appears on the page — copy it or download it as a .txt file.
Which languages are supported?
17 languages including English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Hindi, Indonesian, Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, and Korean — plus automatic detection.
Can it read iPhone HEIC photos?
Yes. HEIC and HEIF photos from iPhone and iPad are supported directly — no need to convert them to JPG first.
Is it really free?
Yes, extracting text from a single image is completely free with no registration and no watermark.
Why is some text missing or wrong?
OCR works best on sharp, high-contrast images. Blurry photos, handwriting, or low-resolution scans reduce accuracy. Use a clear, well-lit image and select the correct language for the best results.
