Overview Use Text Grab on Windows to capture text with OCR, clean it up quickly, and move it into the next step of your workflow. When text gets trapped inside images, videos, PDFs, and parts of apps where you cannot select it, Text Grab helps you get it back out. You can take a screenshot or open a supported file, run it through the OCR engine, and send the result to the clipboard or straight into an editor. All OCR runs entirely on your device — no internet connection, no cloud service, and no per-use cost. Everything stays local and private. You can also do much more than copy text from images, because Text Grab gives you multiple modes for capture, post-grab cleanup, spreadsheet-style editing, and fast text reuse. You can use it all day without friction. Launch it quickly from the taskbar, open specific modes from the command line, or enable the background process so global hotkeys work anywhere in Windows. The Full-Screen Grab mode is also the basis of the PowerToys Text Extractor. Requirements - Windows 10 or later — required for all features using the Windows OCR API. - Windows 11 on a Copilot+ PC (Microsoft Store install) — required for Windows AI features, which use the on-device Neural Processing Unit for higher-accuracy recognition.
