Why use OCR on screenshots?
Screenshots often contain text you want to reuse — error messages, chat conversations, code snippets, or slides. OCRJet reads the text straight from the image so you can copy, edit, and share it instead of retyping.
How to extract text from a screenshot
1. Copy a screenshot to your clipboard (PrtScn on Windows, Ctrl+Shift+4 on macOS, or the Snipping Tool).
2. Press Ctrl+V / Cmd+V on this page — or drag and drop the image file.
3. Copy the recognized text or download it as TXT, Markdown, JSON, or CSV.
Privacy-first by design
Because everything runs locally in your browser, screenshots are processed without ever being uploaded. Nothing is stored or sent to a server.
Tips for clear results
Clean, high-contrast screenshots produce the most accurate text. Avoid heavily filtered images and very small fonts where possible.
Select only the region you need before capturing — less background noise means fewer OCR mistakes.
