Extract Text from JPG Images
Upload one or more JPG images and this tool recognises the text in them with OCR (optical character recognition). The text appears on the page, ready to copy, and is also downloaded as a TXT file — one per image or all combined into one.
The images are uploaded over an encrypted connection and converted on our server. The images and the results are stored for 48 hours and then deleted automatically — or you can delete them yourself at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this JPG to text converter free?
Yes, extracting text from your JPG images is completely free.
How can I get the best recognition results?
Use a sharp, well-lit image in which the text is straight and large enough to read. Select every language of the text; handwriting and very stylised fonts are recognised less reliably.
Which languages are supported?
All 30 languages of this site, including English, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hindi. You can select several languages if the images contain text in more than one.
Is my file kept private?
Files are transferred over an encrypted connection and processed on our server. Uploaded files and results are stored for 48 hours, so you can download the result via its link, and are then deleted automatically. You can delete them yourself at any time with the delete button in the “Your files” list.
Is there a limit on the number of images?
There is no fixed limit on the number of images, but very large batches take longer to upload and convert.
