FEATURES
Made for screen grabs
This landing is for a captured window or UI. Photo to Text is the same job when the source is a camera.
Plain text
You get a .txt file. Screenshot to Word is the same OCR as a simple DOCX.
Not OCR PDF
OCR PDF makes a scanned PDF searchable. This page reads a screenshot image.
Files stay local
OCR runs in your browser. We do not upload the screenshot.
Honest OCR
Tesseract, not a certified reader. Tiny UI type and overlapping windows will miss words.

Extract text from Screenshot vs Image to Text
People search extract text from Screenshot when they want the extract phrasing. This page runs the same /image-to-text OCR as Screenshot to Text. It is not /extract-text-from-pdf and not Extract PDF pages and not a second tool in the Tools grid.
It is not OCR PDF. If you still have the PDF, use that page. A photo of paper belongs on Photo to Text.
JPG and PNG only. A screenshot is just a JPG or PNG. We do not claim a certified reader.
