The OCR engine and language data load from this site the first time you use it (about 7 MB for English) and are then cached. Your image and its text never leave this device.

Your image will be processed on this device.

Quick answer

Upload or paste an image, choose the language of its text and select Extract text. FreeImageKit reads it with the Tesseract OCR engine inside your browser, so screenshots, receipts and documents are never uploaded. Copy the result or download it as a .txt file.

How to use this tool

  1. Select, drop or paste (Ctrl/⌘+V) an image or screenshot.
  2. Choose the language of the text, then select Extract text.
  3. Review or edit the text, then copy it or download a .txt file.

Private by default

Processing happens inside your browser. We do not send files to an image-processing server.
