Image to Text questions
Which files can I upload?
This page accepts PNG, JPG or JPEG, WebP, GIF, and BMP images. PDF files belong in the PDF to Excel workflow.
What file do I download?
The recognized text downloads as a UTF-8 TXT file. The preview and downloaded content match.
Is every result exact?
No. AI-based text recognition can misread blurred, rotated, handwritten, or low-contrast text, so review the preview before using it.
How is my image handled?
The image is sent to the extraction provider for processing and is not stored by this page. See the Privacy page for details.
Does this use a separate free allowance?
No. Image to Text and Image to Excel share the website allowance of 100 successful extractions in this browser.
