Key features

Copy text from unselectable screens

Many apps and websites block text selection. Take a screenshot, run OCR, and copy the exact text in seconds — no retyping.

Private, deleted right after

Images are recognized by the server-side engine and automatically deleted once done, never stored. Chat histories and private messages stay confidential.

Chinese and English mixed text

Handles screenshots where Chinese and English appear together, such as bilingual interfaces and translated chat, in one pass.

Batch extract from multiple shots

Drop in several screenshots at once and recognize them in a batch, then export every result as a single TXT or ZIP file.

How to use

    Take a screenshot of the chat, error, or web page you want text from. Crop tightly around the text for the best accuracy.

  2. Upload and recognize

    Drag the screenshot into the tool and click Start Recognition. The high-accuracy engine handles language detection automatically.

  3. Copy or export the text

    Edit the recognized text inline if needed, then copy it to the clipboard or export it as a TXT file.

FAQ

Can it read text from any screenshot?

It works well on clear screenshots of printed or on-screen text — chat messages, error dialogs, web pages, and app screens. Very small fonts or heavily stylized text may reduce accuracy.

Are my screenshots uploaded to a server?

Yes — images are uploaded to the server-side high-accuracy engine, then automatically deleted right after recognition and never stored, which keeps private chats and messages safe.

Does it handle mixed Chinese and English?

Yes. Select the Chinese + English mode to recognize bilingual screenshots in one pass, which is common in translated chats and international apps.

Can I extract text from several screenshots at once?

Yes. Upload multiple screenshots for batch recognition. View each result separately or export them all together as a ZIP file.

Is it really free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up. You can view, copy, and edit the recognized text without an account. Exporting a TXT or ZIP is also free.
