Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract text from a JPG or PNG image?
Drag and drop your JPG, PNG, or WebP image into the uploader (or press Ctrl+V to paste from your clipboard), leave the language on 'Auto Detect' or choose your script, and click 'Extract Text'. You can immediately copy the plain text or download it as a .TXT file.
Can I convert multiple images to text at the same time?
Yes. Select or drop multiple images to build a batch queue, click 'Extract All', and use the 'All (N) .TXT' button to download a single consolidated plain-text file containing the text from every photo.
What is the difference between Image to Text and Image to Word?
Image to Text outputs lightweight, unformatted UTF-8 plain text (.TXT) ideal for quick copying into emails, notes, code editors, or CMS fields. If you need formatted paragraphs inside a Microsoft Word (.DOCX) file, use our Image to Word Converter.
Does the Image to Text Converter support Arabic and non-Latin alphabets?
Yes. The neural OCR engine supports over 100 languages including cursive Arabic (with proper right-to-left directionality), Cyrillic, Devanagari, Simplified/Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
Are my uploaded photos stored on any cloud server?
Never. Image preprocessing and neural text recognition run 100% locally inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your photos never leave your device.
