Image to Markdown
Read text from an image with OCR into Markdown. The OCR engine and English language data are bundled with the site.
Example
[screenshot: "Invoice #204 — Total $90"]Invoice #204 — Total $90What it keeps
- Printed text recognized by OCR
- The recognized text as plain Markdown paragraphs
- Works on PNG, JPG, WebP and BMP screenshots, photos and scans
Where it struggles
- Needs the page opened over http or https. A page opened as a local file:// cannot start the OCR worker
- Accuracy depends on image sharpness and contrast
- Handwriting is unreliable and column layouts aren't rebuilt
Frequently asked questions
Does it need an internet connection?
Only to open this page. The OCR engine and English language data load from this site, and recognition runs in your browser. Open the page over http or https, since a page opened as a local file cannot start the OCR worker.
Will it read handwriting?
It's built for printed text; handwriting results are unreliable.
Which languages?
English. The English language data is bundled with the site.
