How to Use the Screenshot to Text Converter

The Screenshot Text Extractor converts text inside images into clean, editable content within seconds. It is built to save time, eliminate manual typing, and help you reuse information stored in screenshots, scanned documents, and photos.

The tool uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to detect readable characters from images and convert them into selectable text. Along with full text extraction, it also generates a short summary to highlight the main idea of the content.

Tips for Better Results

• You have to use high-resolution images; avoid heavy compression.
• Make sure text is horizontal and not heavily skewed. If the photo is angled, crop and straighten it first.
• Avoid extreme glare or shadows over the text.
• Larger font sizes and high contrast (dark text on light background) work best.
• If your image contains multiple languages, run each language separately if the tool supports only one language at a time.

Final checklist before publishing or sharing

• Save a local copy if the text is important or needs versioning.
• Confirm extracted text matches the original image (especially numbers, dates, and names).
• Fix OCR errors and reformat headings or lists for readability.
• Choose summary or full text depending on your use case.
