Immagine a testo (OCR)

What Is Image to Text (OCR)?

Image to text extraction uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to scan a photo or document image and convert any printed or handwritten text it contains into editable, searchable digital text.

ToolPop's OCR tool analyses the image in your browser and returns the extracted text, which you can copy, edit, or paste into any application without retyping.

How to Extract Text from Image

1. Upload your image containing text
2. The OCR tool automatically processes the image
3. Review the extracted text in the editor
4. Copy or download the extracted text
