Turn a screenshot of a table into a typed Parquet file: numbers, dates and true/false keep their types, ready for DuckDB or pandas. Free, in your browser.
Quick answer: Turn a picture of a table into editable data using OCR.
Turn a picture of a table into editable data using OCR.
Screenshot to Data turns a picture of a table into editable data. It reads the image with OCR in your browser, groups the words into rows and columns, and lets you check the result before you download it as CSV, JSON, Parquet or Excel. Use it for tables in PDFs, reports, slides and chat screenshots. Always compare numbers with the image, because OCR can misread a decimal point.

Tips
Select only the table – it makes the biggest difference.
Columns merged? Lower “Column gap”. Split? Raise it.
Always check the cells: OCR can misread characters. Highlighted cells are the ones it was unsure about; use “Next uncertain cell”.
Tilted screenshots are straightened automatically. Use the rotate buttons for sideways images.
Text with accents (é, ü, ñ)? Choose “English + accents” as the language.
Several tables in one image are kept separate. Tick the ones you need and download them together.
When a screenshot should become Parquet
Use Parquet when the table is going into an analytics tool rather than a spreadsheet: a reference table for a DuckDB or pandas script, a lookup for a data pipeline, or a small dataset you want to query with SQL. Because each column keeps its type, amounts stay numbers and dates stay dates, which is not guaranteed with CSV.
Parquet keeps a type for every column and is the file most analytics tools load directly: DuckDB, pandas, Polars, Spark and cloud warehouses. A table you only have as a picture becomes a dataset you can query.
Which column types does the Parquet file get?
Each column gets the type shown above it in the preview: text, whole number, decimal (currency and percentages become plain numbers), date, date and time, or true/false. You can change any column type before you download.
Can I query the Parquet file straight away?
Yes. Click Save for other tools, then open SQL on Your Files and query it with SQL in the same browser tab. Nothing is uploaded at any point.
Is my image uploaded?
No. Only the OCR engine is downloaded once; your image stays on your device.
Does it read handwriting?
No, only printed or on-screen text.
Are numbers and dates kept as numbers and dates?
Yes. Each column gets a type you can change: currency like $1,234.50 and accounting negatives like (300) become numbers, and dates become real dates in Excel and Parquet. Codes with leading zeros and phone numbers stay text.
What is the second reader?
The first reader is fast and handles most screenshots. When it is unsure (a photo of a screen, small text, glare), a second reader double-checks the unsure words. It runs on your device, and the first time it downloads about 16 MB of model files from this site. Your image is never uploaded. You can turn it off under More settings.
Which image types work?
PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP and GIF up to 50 MB. TIFF and HEIC work only if your browser can open them; otherwise save the image as PNG first.
Can I convert many screenshots at once?
Yes. Choose Many screenshots, drop all the images, pick CSV, Excel, JSON or Parquet, and download one file per image in a ZIP.
How accurate is Screenshot to Data?
It uses OCR in your browser, so accuracy depends on the picture. Sharp, high-contrast screenshots work best. Always check numbers and decimal points against the image before you use the data. The image is read on your device and is not uploaded.
