When screenshot OCR helps

Screenshots and photos often trap text inside pixels. OCR turns those visible words into text you can use elsewhere.

  • You cannot copy text from a screenshot.
  • A receipt, label, or note exists only as an image.
  • A web page, app, or slide deck blocks text selection.

How to get better results

OCR accuracy depends on image quality. Clean inputs reduce manual cleanup after extraction.

  • Use the sharpest screenshot or photo available.
  • Crop unrelated margins when the document is small.
  • Choose the recognition language that matches the image.

Where the text can go

The output is plain text, which makes it easy to move into everyday workflows.

  • Copy text into notes, email, or a document editor.
  • Download TXT for archival or cleanup.
  • Use OCR text as a first pass for RAG and search indexing.
