Why Screenshot OCR?

Retyping text from screenshots is slow and error-prone. Screenshot OCR extracts text from any image instantly — using on-device optical character recognition powered by Tesseract.js.

Key Features

  • 📋 Paste from Clipboard: Hit Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V) anywhere on the tool to extract text from a screenshot you just took.
  • 🖱️ Drag & Drop: Drop an image file directly onto the tool — no file picker needed.
  • 📁 File Select: Choose any PNG, JPEG, or WebP image from your device — it never leaves your browser.
  • 🔗 Smart Extraction: Automatically detects and lists all URLs, email addresses, and phone numbers found in the text, each with a copy button.
  • ✂️ Text Cleaning: One click removes extra blank lines, merges awkwardly split OCR lines, and trims whitespace.
  • 💾 Download as .txt: Save the extracted text as a plain text file, named with the current timestamp.
  • 🔒 100% Private: All processing happens in your browser. No image is uploaded. No data is stored.

How to Use

  1. Load an image: Paste (Ctrl+V), drag and drop, or click to browse your files.
  2. Wait for OCR: The tool processes the image locally — usually under 8 seconds for a typical English screenshot.
  3. Review the text: Edit directly in the text panel if needed.
  4. Extract info: URLs, emails, and phone numbers are automatically listed below.
  5. Copy or download: Copy the text to clipboard or download as a .txt file.
