"I watch a lot of coding tutorials on YouTube and I constantly screenshot code snippets. This tool extracts them in seconds — it's become a core part of my study workflow."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Screenshot to Text

Can I paste a screenshot directly without saving it as a file?

Yes! Simply snip your screen with any snipping tool, then press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac) inside the upload zone. The screenshot lands directly without needing to save a file first.

Does it work on screenshots with small or compressed text?

It works best on high-resolution, high-contrast screenshots. Lower resolution or heavily compressed screenshots may return slightly less accurate results.

Is my screenshot data kept private?

Completely. All AI processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly. Your screenshots are never transmitted to any server.

What languages does it support for screenshots?

We support over 100 languages natively. You can switch the language core inside the editor panel for Hindi, Chinese, Arabic, French, German, and many more.
