Free Self-Service Tools

Graphics to Text{:target="_blank"} — Upload a photo of your paper menu, a PDF, or an image scan and get a clean, structured CSV of your items, descriptions, and prices in seconds — useful for preparing your item list for a designer or for POS import.
No account required for either tool.
