Image OCR Online: Extract Text from Photos and Screenshots

Why Image OCR Matters

Screenshots, phone photos, and scans often hold text you need to copy, quote, or reuse. Image OCR (optical character recognition) detects characters in the picture so you can work with the words directly—without retyping.
