How it works
Take or find the screenshot
PNG screenshots work best. Crop to the part with text if the screen has a lot of other content.
Upload it here
Pick the language of the text, then upload. Plain text output is preselected.
Copy the text
Copy it straight from the result, or download it as a text or Word file.
Why copy text from screenshots
Screenshots are how we save chats, error messages and slides, but the text in them can’t be searched or edited. Pulling it out saves retyping and mistakes.
It’s handy for quoting a message, searching an error online, or turning a slide into notes.
