What is TXT (OCR) ?

TXT (OCR) is not a format of its own. What you download is an ordinary .txt file that opens in any editor. OCR names the step that produced it: the letters in your image are recognised and written out as plain text — the words and their order, with no fonts, colours, images or layout kept.

Why Convert PNG to TXT (OCR) file?

Converting a PNG to text with recognition reads the words inside your image and extracts them into a plain, editable text file. Using text recognition, it detects the letters in a screenshot, scanned page, or photo of a document and turns them into actual text you can copy, edit, and search — instead of words locked inside a picture.

This is ideal when you need to pull text out of an image without retyping it: capturing a quote from a screenshot, digitizing a scanned document, or grabbing text from a photo. The result is a plain text file with the recognized words. Accuracy depends on how clear and readable the text in the image is, but for turning a picture of text into usable, editable text, this is exactly the tool.
