Upload any image containing text to SammaPix. Our AI-powered OCR engine analyses every pixel of your image, detects text regions, and converts them into editable, copy-paste-ready text. The entire process takes just a few seconds. Simply drag and drop your image, wait for the AI to process it, and copy or download the extracted text.
SammaPix uses Google Gemini, one of the most advanced AI models available, for text recognition. Accuracy depends on the quality of the source image: clear, high-resolution images with printed text yield near-perfect results. Low-resolution photos, unusual fonts, or heavy background noise may reduce accuracy. For best results, ensure your image is well-lit and the text is in focus.
SammaPix accepts all major image formats including JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC (iPhone photos), GIF, BMP, and TIFF. You can also extract text from screenshots taken on any device, scanned documents saved as images, and photos of printed text or signs.
Yes, with some limitations. The AI can recognize most legible handwriting, but accuracy is highest with printed or typed text. Neat, clearly written handwriting works well, while cursive or messy handwriting may produce less accurate results. For critical documents, always review the extracted text.
Yes. Free accounts get 10 AI operations per day after signing in, which is enough for casual use. Pro accounts ($7/month) get 200 AI operations per day. Each image-to-text extraction uses one AI operation from your daily allowance.
OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition — a technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, photographs of text, or images containing text, into editable and searchable digital text. Traditional OCR systems work by analysing the shapes of characters and matching them against known patterns. Modern AI-based OCR, like the one used by SammaPix, goes much further: it understands the context of the text, recognises complex layouts, and handles multiple languages within the same image.
When you upload an image to SammaPix, the AI model processes the entire image at once. Unlike older OCR engines that scan line by line, Gemini understands the visual layout of the document — including columns, tables, headers, and paragraphs — and reconstructs the text in a logical reading order. This results in significantly more accurate text extraction, especially for complex documents like invoices, multi-column articles, or photographs with text at various angles.
Students use OCR to digitize notes from textbooks and whiteboards. Professionals use it to extract data from business cards, receipts, and invoices without manual data entry. Developers use it to pull text from UI screenshots and error messages. Researchers convert scanned academic papers into searchable text for easier citation and reference.
Content creators extract text from social media screenshots to repurpose quotes and captions. Translators use image-to-text conversion as the first step before translating text from signs, menus, or documents in foreign languages. No matter the use case, SammaPix provides fast, accurate text extraction powered by state-of-the-art AI.
