JPG · PNG · WebP · HEIC · AVIF — up to 20, ordered by filename

Or paste a screenshot straight from your clipboard (Ctrl+V / ⌘V).

Language

One at a time. Each pack downloads once, then stays cached. English: ≈5 MB the first time · cached after.

Layout

Best for slides and posters.

Auto can skip text sitting on a coloured chat bubble. If a line is missing, try Scattered.

No Instagram needed for this path — your files are read entirely on this device.

Your images never leave this tab. The text engine downloads once and then runs entirely in your browser — the only network requests are those engine files and, if you pasted a link, the public post’s own slides. Nothing you drop, paste or type is uploaded.

ReadFrame — questions, answered

How do I extract text from an Instagram carousel?

Paste the post's public link into ReadFrame and it reads every slide in order, then gives you an editable text box per slide plus a copy-all button. The OCR runs in your browser, so the slides are never uploaded anywhere.

Is there a free image to text converter with no signup?

ReadFrame is free with no login, no account and no API keys, and there is no page limit or watermark. It downloads a text engine of about 5 MB the first time you use it, then works from your browser's cache.

How do I copy the text off a meme or a screenshot?

Drop the image into ReadFrame — or paste it straight from your clipboard with Ctrl+V — and the text appears in an editable box you can copy or export as TXT or Markdown. Nothing leaves your device at any point.

Why does it say no readable text was found?

Every line comes back with a confidence score, and ReadFrame hides a result whose score is too low instead of printing nonsense. A photo with no lettering scores around 27 out of 100, where a clean typographic slide scores about 95.

Can I extract text from an image on my phone?

Yes — ReadFrame is a web page, so it works in Safari or Chrome on a phone with nothing to install. Large photos are scaled down before the OCR runs so a phone tab does not run out of memory mid-slide.

Does the OCR work on languages other than English?

English is the default and seven more languages are one tap away: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Indonesian and Turkish. Each language pack downloads once, only when you pick it.

What is DMrun?

DMrun (dmrun.com) is shotMod's sibling product: AI Instagram DM automation that auto-replies to comments, Story replies and DMs to turn comments into customers. Once shotMod helps you make the content, DMrun helps you make money from it — 2,800+ creators run their DMs on it, with a free plan and a 2-minute setup.

About ReadFrame

ReadFrame is a free, on-device text tool from shotMod that extracts text from an Instagram post, a carousel slide, a meme, a screenshot or any photo on your machine. Paste a public post link and it reads every slide in order, or drop your own images in — you can even paste a screenshot straight from the clipboard. There's no login, no account and no API keys.

The OCR engine runs inside your browser in a background worker, so the pixels never leave the tab and the page stays responsive while it works. The honest limit is the one every OCR tool has: handwriting, heavy motion blur and text baked into a busy photo read badly. ReadFrame scores every line it produces and refuses to show a result it does not trust, marking the shaky lines and saying "no readable text found" rather than handing you word-salad. Public post links only; private posts are never accessible.

ReadFrame is part of shotMod, a free hub of Instagram tools by SourceStrong AI — the text it pulls out hands straight off to GlyphKit for fancy fonts and caption line breaks. Once your content is live, its sibling tool DMrun (dmrun.com) can turn the comments and DMs it earns into customers.
