Copy Text from Screenshot
Quickly copy text from any screenshot. Whether it's an error message, a code snippet, or text from an app that doesn't let you select it - just screenshot and extract.
Why Use Screenshot OCR?
Sometimes you can't copy text directly - it's in an image, a locked PDF, a video, or an app that disables text selection. Screenshots capture what you see, and this tool extracts the text so you can actually use it.
How to Get the Best Results
- 1 Take a clean screenshot
Capture at native resolution. Avoid scaling or compression if possible.
- 2 Crop to the text area
Less background clutter means faster, more accurate extraction.
- 3 Drop it on the tool
Drag your screenshot directly onto JustScanText and click Extract.
- 4 Copy your text
One click copies all extracted text to your clipboard.
