A photo can save you from retyping a printed page, but OCR output is a draft inferred from pixels, not a guaranteed copy. A single wrong digit or space can matter, so compare important text with the image.
Toolit reads printed Korean and English in JPG, PNG, and WEBP images. This guide focuses on preparing a readable source and reviewing the result, not repeating every control on the tool page.
Start with these choices
Reduce glare, shadows, tilt, and tiny lettering.
Use Korean + English for mixed-language pages.
Check numbers and names against the source first.
How to do it in your browser
- 1
Place the document flat, avoid glare, and photograph the full text. For a screenshot, keep the original-size capture.
- 2
Add a JPG, PNG, or WEBP image to Image Text Extractor, or paste a copied screenshot. Each image must be within 15MB and 25 megapixels.
- 3
Select the printed language and extract the text. The first run may take longer while the recognition model downloads.
- 4
Compare the editable output with the photo. Correct numbers, names, units, and line breaks before copying or saving a TXT file.
Preparing a photo that can be read
Keep the page roughly parallel to the camera and make sure no line is cut off. Glare and shadows hide letter strokes, so even a high-resolution image can be difficult to read when the page is unevenly lit.
Enlarging a tiny screenshot does not restore missing detail. If the source is blurred, taking a clearer photo is usually more helpful than enlarging the same image.
Review the risky parts first
For forms or financial documents, start with dates, amounts, account numbers, and identifiers. Similar shapes such as O and 0 or I and 1 can be mistaken without context. Unfamiliar names deserve a second look too.
Plain text will not preserve a table's cell layout, stamps, or pictures. Keep the source image and check the cells directly if row-column relationships matter.
If the output is empty or garbled
Check whether the text is large and sharp enough, the language is correct, and the page is upright. Handwriting, decorative type, and a busy background are less reliable than clear print.
PDF, HEIC, and GIF are not direct inputs. Prepare a page image from a PDF or a JPG copy from HEIC. Keep the original file separately.
Frequently asked questions
Is the extracted text identical to the original?
Not necessarily. OCR interprets letter shapes, so verify figures, names, and line breaks against the image.
Does it read handwriting?
It may sometimes produce text, but handwriting accuracy is not guaranteed. Clear printed text is a better fit.
Can I correct the result before saving?
Yes. Edit the result field, then copy the selected result or save a TXT file.
