About Screenshot to Text
You snapped a screenshot of an error message, a chat thread, or a slide deck, and now you want the actual words out of it. Trouble is, a screenshot is just pixels, so you can't select or copy a single character. Retyping it by hand is slow and error-prone, especially for long passages or code snippets.
This Screenshot to Text tool reads the image with optical character recognition and hands you back clean, editable text you can copy anywhere. Drop in a PNG or JPG, let it scan, and the recognized words appear ready to paste. It runs free in your browser with no signup and no watermark, and your screenshot is processed for the extraction only, keeping your private captures yours.

FAQ
What image formats can I upload?
Any common image works, including PNG, JPG, and WebP. Clear, high-resolution screenshots give the most accurate results.
Will it keep the original line breaks?
It preserves the general layout and line structure where it can, but the output is plain text, so you may need to tidy spacing for complex layouts.
How accurate is the text extraction?
Sharp, standard fonts read very accurately. Tiny text, heavy compression, or stylized fonts can introduce occasional errors worth a quick proofread.
Can I use Screenshot to Text on mobile?
Yes — ToolHub is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, tablets and all modern browsers. No app install needed.
