What this does
Text trapped in images — screenshots, receipts, scanned documents, slide decks — is impossible to copy, search, or edit. This tool scans your image and extracts every line of printed text into a copyable format.
The OCR engine runs entirely in your browser using Tesseract.js. Your images are never uploaded to a server. It supports English, Korean, and mixed-language documents.
