Introducing Copy Text from Picture 📸

Copy Text from Picture is a free OCR (optical character recognition) tool that turns any image, screenshot, or recording into editable text in seconds. Whether you are working with screenshots, photos, scanned documents, or now recordings, it reads the text and hands it back ready to copy, edit, and reuse.

💬 Frequently asked questions:

How does it work?

Copy Text from Picture uses OCR (optical character recognition) to read the text inside an image or recording and convert it into editable text. Choose what you want to convert, and the cloud service returns the text.

Can I use it for free?

Yes. Every feature, including image to text and recording to text, is available at no cost.

How do I install it?

Click "Add to Chrome" to install. Once installed it appears as an icon in your toolbar, and you can pin it for quick access.

What does it do with my data?

The images and recordings you convert are processed in the cloud, not kept after the request, and not used for training. While the extension is enabled, it may read the page you are viewing and your on-page interactions to improve recognition accuracy. You can switch that second part off in Settings.

No. Convert as many images and recordings as you need.

Is it available on other platforms?

For now it is Chrome only. Support for more platforms is in progress, so you will be able to use it as an image to text converter across more of your devices.
