Tips for Best Screenshot Text Results

Follow these simple tips to get the most accurate text extraction and fastest editing experience from your screenshots.

1

Use High-Resolution Screenshots

Crisp, high-res screenshots give the AI more detail, leading to flawless text detection without missing characters.

2

Good Contrast Between Text and Background

Dark text on light backgrounds is easiest to detect. Avoid heavily filtered, tinted, or transparent screenshots.

3

Avoid Heavy Compression

Heavily compressed JPGs can blur fine text details. Use PNG screenshots or uncompressed images whenever possible.

4

Crop to the Relevant Area

Uploading a cropped screenshot with only the required text region speeds up processing and eliminates background noise.
