How to Extract Text from a Screenshot in Seconds
If you can screenshot it, we can read it. Three simple steps — no software needed.
Take Your Screenshot & Upload: Capture your screen (PNG, JPG, or WEBP) and upload it to our tool. Works with full-screen captures, partial crops, and mobile screenshots.
AI Reads Every Character: Our OCR engine identifies and extracts all visible text — including different fonts, colours, sizes, and mixed backgrounds — without you typing a single character.
Copy Text Instantly: The extracted text appears in the editor. Copy it with one click, or export as a Word document, PDF, or TXT file.

Handles Mixed Fonts & Colours
