Extract text from an image

How to use it

1. Sign in, then add one image (or paste a screenshot).
2. Choose the output language and run the task (1 trial).
3. Edit the recognized text if needed, then copy it.

Limits & formats

One image per task, up to 10 MB; it is downscaled to at most 1600 px on the long edge before sending, which can cost accuracy on very small print or handwriting. Best on clear, well-lit text. Unreadable characters are marked [?] instead of guessed — the result is a transcription, not a verified document. Complex tables and multi-page scans are not supported in this first version (for text-layer PDFs use the PDF-to-text tool; to OCR a scanned PDF, export its pages to images first).

Privacy

Your image is sent through YYSI's server to our AI provider (DeepSeek) for transcription. YYSI stores only token usage and the result — the image is not saved. Results are kept for 24 hours, then become unavailable; expired results are cleared during subsequent tool requests.
