Image Text OCR
About this Tool
Free online image OCR that turns printed text in photos, scans, and screenshots into editable copy you can paste anywhere. Choose Korean, English, Japanese, or Simplified Chinese before running recognition. Ideal for receipts, documents, book pages, signs, and UI captures you would otherwise retype by hand. All recognition runs on your device in the browser—images are never uploaded to our servers—so personal and work documents stay private.
Processed safely on your device

How to Use
Upload a photo, scan, or screenshot (JPG, PNG, WebP, and similar formats) that contains the text you need.
Select one or more recognition languages (Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese). The first time you pick a language, your browser may take a short moment to prepare it.
Click Run OCR, review the extracted text in the result box, then copy it to your clipboard for notes, email, or documents.
Key Scenarios & Use Cases
Digitize paper documents without retyping
Photograph or scan contracts, reports, or textbook pages and pull out the paragraphs you need as plain text for Word, Google Docs, or email.
Copy text locked inside screenshots and graphics
Recover wording from image-only notices, chart labels, slide captures, or app screens where drag-to-copy is not available.
Capture receipts, business cards, and signage
Turn receipt lines, contact details on cards, and store or street signs into searchable notes for expense tracking, contacts, or travel logs.
Run OCR on sensitive files without uploading them
Extract text from confidential paperwork while keeping the image on your device—nothing is sent to an external OCR service.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
No. Text recognition runs entirely in your browser. Your photos and scans never leave your device for processing on AllThatConverter servers.
Korean, English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese. If a page mixes languages, selecting all relevant options often improves accuracy.
Clear printed text works best. Handwriting, steep angles, low light, glare, or soft focus can increase mistakes—use a bright, front-facing, sharp capture when you can.
OCR is a helper, so skim important text before you reuse it. Matching the language checkboxes, using a higher-resolution original, or cropping tighter around the text often improves the next run.
