What is OCR?

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) reads the individual characters inside an image and rebuilds them as real text you can edit, search and paste anywhere. It is the same technology used to digitise books, scan receipts and lift a phone number straight off a business card.

How to use the Image to Text converter

1. Click Upload and choose your image, or paste an image URL.
2. Press Convert and let the OCR engine scan the file.
