WEBP to text without converting first
WEBP is the image format most websites now use, because it's smaller than JPG at the same quality. When you right-click and save an image in Chrome or Edge, you often get a .webp file. Many tools and apps still can't open it, which makes copying the text from it awkward.
This converter reads WEBP files directly. You don't need to convert WEBP to JPG or PNG first: just drop the file in and copy the text out. The image is processed in your browser and never uploaded.
Common uses
- Copying specifications from product images on shopping sites.
- Getting the text out of infographics and blog graphics.
- Saving quotes and captions from social media images.
- Extracting text from banners and promotional graphics.
Tips
Web images are often small. If the text is tiny, look for a larger version of the image (for example by opening it in a new tab) before saving it. For screenshots of a web page, the screenshot to text tool is usually faster, and you can also convert PNG and JPG files here.
