Extract text from Image vs Image to Text
People search extract text from Image when they want the extract phrasing. This page runs the same /image-to-text OCR. It is not /extract-text-from-pdf and not a second tool in the Tools grid.
The same OCR engine powers Image to Excel, Image to Word, and Image to CSV. Those pages add table reconstruction or a simple DOCX. This page only returns text.
JPG and PNG only for now. A screenshot is just a JPG or PNG. We do not claim a certified reader or perfect handwriting recognition.
