    How can I copy the text from a photo or a screenshot?

    With Lunyce, add your image, choose the language of the text, start the recognition and download a text file. It works on printed or on-screen text, and poorly on handwriting; screenshots give the most reliable results. OCR runs on your device without uploading the image, for free and with no sign-up.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is handwriting recognised?

    Poorly: the tool is made for printed or on-screen text. Very legible handwriting sometimes gives a partial result.

    Are my files uploaded to a server?

    No. Processing happens entirely in your browser, on your device. No file is uploaded or stored. You can check: once the page has loaded, disconnect from the internet and the tool still works.

    Is there a file size or number limit?

    No. Since nothing goes through our servers, there is no quota. The only limit is your device's memory: a computer handles very large files more easily than a phone.

    Is it really free?

    Yes. No sign-up, no watermark added to your documents and no usage limit.
