Got a screenshot of a conversation, a photo of a document, or a scanned PDF and need the text to copy, edit or search? Extract Text uses optical character recognition (OCR) to turn an image into real text, right in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded to any server: the photo, screenshot or document stays only on your device, which matters when the content is a personal conversation or a sensitive document. The recognized text comes out in an editable box, because OCR isn't perfect — you review it, fix what's needed, and copy or download as .txt.
