Turn a picture into editable text
Upload a screenshot, receipt, note, or document scan and pull the text out of it in seconds. Copy it or download a .txt file. Works best on clear printed text. No account, no watermark.
Quick answer
An image to text tool uses OCR to recognize and extract printed text from a photo, screenshot, or scan. YaliKit's version accepts PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, and TIFF files up to 25 MB, processes them on the server, then deletes the image and returns the text to copy or download as a .txt file.
Why It Is Better
Why Use Image to Text?
Accurate Text Recognition
The reader uses a modern OCR engine that pulls clean, accurate text from clear printed images. Screenshots, typed documents, and sharp scans come out with the words intact and in reading order.
Reads Screenshots, Receipts, and Scans
Upload a phone screenshot, a photo of a receipt, a scanned page, or a picture of a sign. If the text is printed and legible, the tool lifts it out so you can reuse it instead of retyping.
Copy or Download as .txt
The result lands in a selectable text box with a one-click Copy button and a Download .txt button, plus a live character and word count so you know exactly what you extracted.
Free, No Signup, Private
There is no account to create and no watermark. Your image is processed on our server only to read it, then deleted afterward. It is never stored, sold, or shared.
Popular Use Cases
Screenshots
Pull the text out of a screenshot so you can quote, search, or edit it instead of retyping.
Receipts and Invoices
Grab totals, dates, and line items from a photo of a receipt for expenses and records.
Notes and Whiteboards
Turn a photo of printed notes, slides, or a whiteboard into text you can keep and reuse.
Document Scans
Extract text from a scanned page or PDF export so you can copy, translate, or repurpose it.
How It Works
Upload Your Image
Drag and drop a picture or click to browse. PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, and TIFF are supported, up to 25 MB.
Extract the Text
Press Extract text. Processing runs on our server and takes a few seconds, so a progress bar keeps you posted while it reads the image.
Copy or Download
Read the recognized text in the box, then copy it to your clipboard or download it as a plain .txt file.
Tips for Clean Results
Start With a Sharp, Well-Lit Photo
Good lighting and a straight, in-focus shot make a big difference. Avoid glare, shadows, and blur, and fill the frame with the text you want to read.
Higher Resolution Reads Better
Small or low-resolution images give the engine less to work with. A larger, higher-resolution scan or screenshot usually returns cleaner and more complete text.
Handwriting and Blur Are Hit or Miss
This tool is built for printed and typed text. Cursive handwriting, decorative fonts, and blurry photos may come out wrong, so always proofread text from those sources.
