How to convert Images to Text

  1. 1

    Choose your Images files

    Click the upload area or drag files onto it. Nothing is uploaded — files are opened locally.

  2. 2

    Start the conversion

    Press the convert button. Your browser converts the files in seconds.

  3. 3

    Download the result

    Save each file individually or everything at once as a ZIP.

Copy the words out of a screenshot, a photographed page, a receipt or a slide. Optical character recognition runs inside your browser, so even confidential documents never leave your computer. Clear, well-lit images give the best results.

What is Images?

PNG, JPG and WebP images are supported as input.

What is Text?

Plain text contains only characters with no formatting. It opens anywhere and is easy to search, edit, or paste into other tools.

Is it private?

Yes. Unlike upload-based converters, ZapMorph processes files inside your browser tab, so the file stays on your device. It is never transmitted, stored or logged — close the tab and it’s gone.

Frequently asked questions

Is the image to text (ocr) converter free?

This is a Pro tool. With a free account you get one run a day to try it; Pro and Lifetime plans include unlimited use.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device. We only count how many files you convert — never their names or contents.

What is the maximum file size?

Up to 25 MB per file without an account, 50 MB with a free account, and 1 GB on Pro. Very large files also depend on your device’s memory.

Can I convert multiple Images files at once?

Yes. Select several Images files at once — up to 5 on the free plan or 50 on Pro — and download all results in a single ZIP.

Does it work on Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android?

Yes. It works in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari — on desktop and mobile, with nothing to install.
