Image to Text convertor

Turn any photo or document into searchable, readable text — entirely on your device. Now with on-device Summarize, Ask, Translate, and Clean Up tools, free for everyone.

Image to Text turns photos, scans, and documents into text you can read, search, and reuse — all processed entirely on your device.

SCAN AND EXTRACT Capture a document with your camera or import a photo, and get clean, accurate text back in seconds. Multi-page documents are supported — capture a whole batch, then extract all pages at once.

SEARCH EVERYTHING Every scan you've made is instantly searchable by its text. Turn on photo search and Image to Text will also find text hiding in your photo library — receipts, whiteboards, signs, screenshots — without ever uploading a single photo.

READ ALOUD Listen to any extracted text with natural-sounding speech, including background playback and lock-screen controls, so you can keep listening while you do something else.

ON-DEVICE AI TOOLS — FREE FOR EVERYONE • Clean Up — fix broken line wraps, stray characters, and OCR artifacts • Reformat — turn extracted text into structured Markdown • Summarize — get the key points from a long document • Ask — ask questions about what you scanned and get answers grounded in the actual text • Translate — translate extracted or typed text, block by block

All of this runs on Apple's on-device intelligence. Nothing you scan is ever sent to a server.

YOUR HISTORY, ORGANIZED Every scan is saved automatically with its page count and thumbnail, so you can find and revisit anything you've ever captured.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your photos, scans, and recognized text stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded — not for recognition, not for search, not for the AI tools. Photo library access is optional and requested only when you choose to use it, and turning it off deletes the indexed text.

REMOVE ADS A single one-time purchase removes the banner ad shown at the bottom of the screen. It doesn't unlock or change anything else — every feature listed above is already free.
