How do I extract text from an image online for free without signing up?
Upload your image (JPG, PNG, screenshot, or scanned document), select your language, and click Extract Text. Copy to clipboard or download as .txt — 100% free, no account needed, no watermark.
How accurate is the OCR? Does it work on handwritten text?
For clean typed text: 98–99% accuracy. Handwriting accuracy varies by clarity — high-contrast lighting, 300+ DPI resolution, and clear ink on plain paper gives the best results for handwriting.

Can I extract text from a screenshot, scanned document, or PDF image?
Yes — any image works. Screenshots, photos of printed documents, scanned invoices, receipts, and books all work. For image-based (scanned) PDFs, use MinifyCloud's PDF OCR tool for best results.
