Step 01
Upload One Image
Choose a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10 MB. A sharp image with readable, well-lit text usually gives the recognition process a clearer source to work from.

Convert words in photos, screenshots, posters, menus, and scanned notes into an editable result. Pictext keeps the task focused: add one image, run recognition, and work with the extracted text instead of typing it again by hand.
Copy Text from Image Results in One Click
Once recognition is complete, copy the extracted text straight to your clipboard for messages, documents, notes, or research. If you prefer a file, download the same result as a TXT document for later use.
Use OCR Image to Text Across Languages
Pictext is built for multilingual image-text work, so it can help when the words in an image are not in your usual language. Need to go beyond extraction? Open the image translator when your goal is to translate text inside an image.

Image to Text for Work, Study, and Daily Tasks
Reuse Text from Marketing Images
Pull product details, event information, or campaign copy from a visual and move it into your working document. Marketers and content teams can recover useful wording without rebuilding it character by character.
Turn Study Materials into Notes
Extract passages from slides, handouts, or photographed pages, then edit the result into study notes. Recognition quality depends on the source, so check names, numbers, and formatting before using the text in an assignment or citation.
Copy Details from Screenshots and Photos
Move addresses, instructions, menu items, or reference text from an image into a searchable document. When the task is to change the screenshot itself rather than extract its words, use Pictext's screenshot editor instead.
Why Use Pictext for Image to Text?
A Focused Browser Workflow
Open the tool, add an image, and extract the text without installing desktop software. The workflow stays centered on a single image, making it straightforward for quick one-off tasks. Need to edit text inside an image? Use Pictext's image text editor.
Practical Output Options
The result is not locked inside the image. Edit recognized text before reusing it, copy it to another app, or download a TXT file that can be stored with the rest of your project.
Clear Format and Size Limits
Pictext accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP images up to 10 MB. Knowing the limits before you upload helps you prepare the source without trial and error.
Multilingual Image-Text Support
Use the same simple workflow for image-text tasks across languages. This is useful for international materials, travel photos, multilingual content, and documents shared across teams.
Free Credits That Reset Daily
Try image to text free with Pictext's daily allowance. Each extraction uses 1 credit, and the free balance resets the next day when it has been used up.
Tools for the Next Image-Text Task
Extraction is one part of working with words in visuals. To clean lettering out of the original picture, continue with the remove text from image tool rather than treating OCR as an image editor.
Image to Text FAQ
