How to Convert an Image to Text

Jun 13, 2026

Converting an image to text is useful when you receive a screenshot, photo, scan, or exported image and need the content in a document or spreadsheet.

Open Image to Text, upload the file, choose the OCR mode, then copy or export the result.

  1. Use Simple OCR for messages, receipts, and short notes.
  2. Use Formatted OCR when the image includes headings, lists, formulas, or tables.
  3. Review low-confidence blocks before exporting.
  4. Export TXT for plain text, Markdown for documents, or JSON when another system will process the result.

Example

Source image:

Meeting Notes
- Approve invoice batch
- Export Q2 table
- Send API sample to engineering

Formatted OCR output:

# Meeting Notes

- Approve invoice batch
- Export Q2 table
- Send API sample to engineering

Use Screenshot to Text for app screenshots, Handwriting to Text for notes, and Image to Excel for table-heavy screenshots.

For recurring workflows, compare Pricing or connect the OCR API.
