Why PNG to text gives such clean results

PNG is a lossless image format: every pixel is stored exactly as it was. That's why screenshots on Windows, Mac and most phones are saved as PNG, and why PNG to text is one of the most accurate conversions an OCR tool can do. There's no blur or blockiness for the recognition engine to work around.

What PNG to text is great for

  • Screenshots of apps, dashboards and error messages you want to paste into an email or support ticket.
  • Text inside diagrams, infographics and charts exported as PNG.
  • Slides and presentation exports where you need the words without retyping them.
  • Banners and graphics with text on coloured or transparent backgrounds.

Text on dark and coloured backgrounds

Many OCR tools miss white text on dark backgrounds, or text inside buttons and boxes. This converter detects light-on-dark regions, reads button labels, and keeps sidebar and card text separate from the main paragraphs, so a screenshot of a modern app or landing page comes out in a sensible order.

Faster than saving a file

If your PNG is a fresh screenshot, you don't need to save it at all. Copy it to the clipboard and press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) on this page. Read more on the screenshot to text page, or convert other formats with JPG to text and WEBP to text.

Frequently asked questions

Why do PNG screenshots give the best results?

PNG is lossless, so the letters stay perfectly sharp. That makes PNG screenshots one of the easiest image types to convert accurately.

Does it work with transparent PNG images?

Yes. Transparent areas are treated as a white background, so dark text on a transparent PNG is read normally.

Does it work with dark-mode screenshots?

Yes. White or coloured text on dark backgrounds, chat bubbles and buttons are all read.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Text recognition runs entirely inside your browser, on your own device. Your images and the extracted text are never uploaded to our servers or to anyone else.

Can I paste a screenshot directly?

Yes. Take a screenshot, then press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) anywhere on the page, or use the Paste image button. There is no need to save it as a file first.

Is the image to text converter really free?

Yes. It is free with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. You can convert up to 10 images at a time, as often as you like.
