Images conversion
Convert WebP to TXT
WebP is an image, and TXT holds only characters, so converting one to the other means running text recognition on the picture and saving whatever words it finds as plain text. Doing that on your own computer means the image, and anything written on it, never has to leave your machine.
All 2,748 conversions verified on macOS, Windows, and Linux against the shipping release, this one included. Every conversion runs entirely on your own computer.

How to convert WebP to TXT
- Open Morphjet and drag in the WebP image you want to convert. Add one file or a whole folder at once.
- Choose TXT as the output format.
- Convert. Morphjet scans the image for readable text and writes it to a plain TXT file next to your original, and nothing leaves your machine.
WebP vs TXT: what actually changes
| WebP | TXT | |
|---|---|---|
| File size | Small for an image, efficient compression | Tiny, just the recognized characters |
| What it holds | The full picture, pixel for pixel | Only the words the scan could recognize |
| Editable as text | No | Yes, fully editable anywhere |
| Transparency | Supported | Not applicable, no image data at all |
| Opens everywhere | Widely supported in browsers, less so in older desktop apps | Yes, opens in any basic text editor |
When to convert, and when not to
Convert WebP to TXT when the image is really a screenshot, a scanned note, or a graphic with a quote or caption you want as editable, searchable words rather than a picture.
Keep the WebP if you need the actual image, since the conversion throws away everything except recognized text, and skip it entirely if the picture doesn't contain any readable text to extract.
Why not just use an online converter?
Screenshots and photographed notes often carry the kind of detail people don't think to hide, a phone number in a text thread, an address on an envelope, a name on a form. Run that image through an online text extractor and it, along with everything written on it, sits on a stranger's server. Morphjet reads the text on your own computer, so the image never has to be uploaded anywhere.
Questions
Does converting WebP to TXT keep the image?
No. The output is plain text only. Once the words are pulled out, the picture, colors, and layout are all dropped, since a TXT file can't hold any of that.
How accurate is the text it pulls out?
It depends on the image. Clean, printed text at a decent resolution comes out accurately. Handwriting, stylized fonts, low-resolution images, or text at an angle are harder to read correctly, so it's worth checking the result.
Will the TXT file keep any formatting, like paragraphs or headings?
No. You get raw text in roughly the order it appears in the image, without the original layout, spacing, or styling.
Can I do this without uploading the image anywhere?
Yes. A desktop app like Morphjet scans the image on your own computer, so it never travels over the internet.
What happens if the WebP image has no text in it at all?
You'll end up with an empty or near-empty TXT file, since there's nothing for a text scan to find in a photo or illustration with no words.
