Image Text to Text

What does Image Text to Text do?

Text inside a picture is just pixels: you cannot select it or copy it. Image Text to Text reads those pixels with OCR (optical character recognition) and gives you real text that you can copy, edit, translate or search.

People use it to:

• copy a quote from a screenshot or a slide;
• get the text of a scanned contract or a photo of a page;
• copy numbers from a receipt or an invoice image;
• grab text from an image on a website where the text is not selectable.

How to use it

1. Install the extension and pin it.
2. Open it and capture an area of the screen, or drop an image file.
3. Wait a moment while the text is recognised.
4. Check the result and copy it.

Tips for better results

• Zoom in before capturing: larger text is recognised more accurately.
• Capture only the text you need, without decorations around it.
• Straight, high-contrast text works best; handwriting and stylised fonts are harder.

Related tools

• If the text is text but the site blocks copying, use Highlight and Copy Protected Text.
• To keep everything you copy, use Clipboard Tool.

Privacy

The image area you choose is sent to our recognition server to return the text; the extension does not read your browsing. Details on the safety page.
