Paste a screenshot from your clipboard, drag & drop, or select a file — extract text instantly with OCR. 8 languages, 100% browser-based.
Extract text from screenshots instantly — just press Ctrl+V. No signup, no uploads, no watermarks. This tool is built for screenshots specifically: paste from your clipboard, drop a file, or select an image, and get editable text in seconds. Unlike Google Lens or other online OCR tools, your screenshots never leave your device. Everything runs in your browser using Tesseract.js. Works with any screenshot — browser pages, desktop apps, error messages, code editors, chat windows, phone captures, and more.
Press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac) to paste a screenshot directly from your clipboard. You can also drag & drop an image or click to select a file. Choose your language and click Extract Text. The OCR engine reads the text and displays it in an editable text box. You can then copy the text or download it as a .txt file.
Yes. This tool never uploads your screenshots to any server. All OCR processing happens entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js. Your screenshots never leave your device — nothing is stored, transmitted, or logged.
Any screenshot works — browser screenshots, desktop captures, phone screenshots, snipping tool output, and partial screen grabs. The tool handles JPG, PNG, WebP, and BMP formats. For best results, use clear screenshots with readable text and good contrast.
Screenshots with clear, high-contrast text on solid backgrounds typically yield 95%+ accuracy. UI screenshots, code editors, and chat windows work especially well. Low-resolution screenshots or text on complex backgrounds may reduce accuracy. The tool shows a confidence percentage after each extraction.
Yes — that is this tool's primary feature. Take a screenshot with your OS shortcut (Print Screen, Win+Shift+S, or Cmd+Shift+4), then press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) anywhere on this page. The screenshot loads instantly and is ready for text extraction.
