OCR runs on your device — image never uploaded · first use downloads the engine
Screenshots trap text as an image — you can't select or copy it. This tool uses OCR to read the words in your screenshot and give them back as editable text you can copy anywhere. Great for error messages, chats, receipts and slides.
The recognition runs in your browser, so your screenshot is never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
- How accurate is it on screenshots?
- Very good on clean, high-contrast screen text — which is exactly what most screenshots contain.
- Can it read code or error messages?
- Yes — clear monospaced text reads well, so it's handy for grabbing an error message you can't select.
