FEATURES
Made for camera shots
This landing is for a photo of printed text. Photo to Text is the same job. JPG to TXT and PNG to TXT are the same extract when you already know the file type.
Words, not columns
This page downloads OCR text. Photo to Excel reconstructs rows and columns.
Not Photo to PDF
Photo to PDF wraps JPEGs in a PDF. This page reads the words. Not OCR PDF.
Files stay local
OCR runs in your browser. We do not upload the photo.
Honest OCR
Angled shots, glare, and tiny type will miss. Tesseract is not a certified reader.

Photo to TXT vs Image to Text
People search photo to TXT when they want the text-file extension from a camera shot. This page runs the same /image-to-text job as Photo to Text. It is not a second tool in the Tools grid.
A PDF scan should use OCR PDF. A photo of a table that you want as Excel should use Photo to Excel.
JPG and PNG only. We do not claim perfect handwriting recognition.
