images to Text — free, no watermark, no sign-up
Recognise the text in an image (PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP) and get plain text you can copy and edit (.txt). Recognition runs in your own browser: the first time we ask before downloading the ~6 MB engine, which your browser then remembers; the image is never uploaded. The recognition language follows your interface language, Chinese and Japanese get no stray spaces, and English words hyphenated across lines are joined back.
What comes across, and what does not
Comes across
- Printed text recognition (Chinese, English and more)
- Paragraphs rebuilt, not broken line by line
- No stray spaces in Chinese or Japanese
- Never uploaded — all in your browser
Does not come across
- Handwriting, badly skewed or blurry photos — expect mistakes
- Table structure — you get text, not a table
- Layout and formatting

Common questions
- Do I need to sign up?
- No. Converting and downloading need no account. Signing in is only for saving the result to the cloud and continuing on another device.
- Is the result watermarked?
- No. Nothing is watermarked and there is no limit on how many times you convert.
- Is my file uploaded to your servers?
- No. The whole conversion happens in your browser. Open DevTools (F12) and watch the Network tab to check. The one thing that uses the network is the text-recognition engine for scans, downloaded once and only if you agree.
- How big a file can I convert?
- There is no limit. We no longer measure your file up front — that number was ours, not any device’s real ceiling. We just start; if this device genuinely cannot fit it, the browser says so and we pass on the reason, a way forward, and an event ID.
- Does it work on a phone?
- Yes, with the same features as on a computer. Very large files will simply take longer.
- Will you start charging later?
- It is free and unlimited today. We avoid absolute promises nobody can back, and there is no hidden sign-up wall or usage cap either.
- Why is the first run slow?
- It downloads about 6 MB of engine and language data first; your browser keeps it for next time. We ask before downloading.
- How accurate is it?
- Clear printed screenshots and scans are usually good; photos should be straight and sharp. Always check the result, especially numbers.
- I want a Word document
- Use Image to Word — the paragraphs go straight into a .docx.
