Frequently asked questions
Is this image to text converter free?
Yes — completely free, with no account or email required.
What image formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, and TIFF.
What languages are supported?
25 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, and Hindi. Select your document's language before uploading for the best accuracy.
Does it work with photos of documents?
Yes. For best results, use a sharp, well-lit photo taken straight above the page. Blurry or angled shots reduce accuracy.
Can I extract text from a screenshot?
Yes — screenshots usually convert with very high accuracy because the text is crisp and digital.
What happens to my files?
Files are uploaded over a secure connection and used only to run the conversion. If you need GDPR-compliant document processing with a DPA for business workflows, check out Airparser.
Can I extract specific fields like names, dates, or totals instead of raw text?
That is exactly what Airparser does: you define the fields you need, and it returns structured data (JSON, Excel, Google Sheets) from any document or image.
More free tools
Need structured data, not just text?
Airparser automatically extracts fields like invoice numbers, totals, dates, and line items from PDFs, emails, and scans — and exports them to Google Sheets, Excel, or your app via Zapier, Make, n8n, and API.
