The problem
Why copy-paste fails
No text layer
Images carry no selectable text; the content has to be recognized before it can be used.
Screenshots pile up
Screenshots of documents are everywhere but hard to search until they become text.
Layout matters
Headings and tables inside an image should survive, not flatten into one line.
How it works
Format notes
Text extraction via OCR
Text is extracted from images through OCR; accuracy varies by image quality, font clarity, and contrast. Higher-accuracy OCR is on the enhancement roadmap.
Best for screenshots and scanned pages
Clean screenshots and scanned documents with clear print produce the best results; handwritten or low-resolution images may have lower fidelity.
Layout-heavy images
Complex layouts like multi-column magazine spreads or dense forms may not preserve spatial structure exactly, but the text content is still extracted.
Supported formats
PNG, JPG/JPEG, WEBP, and TIFF are all accepted, up to 10 MB on the free converter.
Example output
# Invoice | Description | Amount | | --- | --- | | Service fee | $50 |
Common questions
Which image formats are supported?
PNG, JPG, WEBP, and TIFF are accepted, up to 10 MB on the free converter.
What is the maximum file size?
The free converter accepts image files up to 10 MB.
How accurate is text recognition?
Image parsing works through the pipeline today; higher-accuracy OCR is on the roadmap. Clean, high-contrast images produce better results than low-resolution or handwritten content.
Can it handle tables inside images?
Table structure in images is recognized where possible; the fidelity depends on image clarity and how clearly the table grid is defined.
Does it work on scanned documents?
Yes. Scanned pages are a primary use case. Clear, high-resolution scans produce better Markdown output.
What about handwritten content?
Handwritten text is not reliably extracted by the current pipeline. The tool works best with printed or digital text.
Is it free?
Yes. Preview is free; download and saved history use a free account.
Is there a developer API?
Yes. Convert images programmatically via the REST API. See /developers for documentation.
