OCR guides: images and screenshots

By Alex, editor · Updated October 25, 2026 · Published by Ecomparadise, LLC

How it works

  1. Choose, drop or paste images or a PDF.
  2. PDF pages that already contain text are extracted directly. Images and scanned pages are read with Tesseract OCR in your browser.
  3. Copy the text, or download it as .txt, .doc (Word) or .csv (Excel).
