ImageTextConverter
Extract all readable text from images using advanced OCR combined with a vision-language model. Handles printed text, handwriting, complex layouts, receipts, signs, and multi-language documents.
How It Works
Upload an image or provide a URL.
The image is preprocessed (deskew, contrast normalization).
OCR detects text regions and extracts character-level output.
A vision-language model refines extraction and resolves ambiguities.
Structured text with bounding boxes and confidence scores is returned.
Code Examples
import os, requests
API = "https://api.mixpeek.com"
H = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['MIXPEEK_API_KEY']}",
"X-Namespace": os.environ["NAMESPACE_ID"]}
# 1. a bucket, with a schema that declares the field you will send
bucket = requests.post(f"{API}/v1/buckets", headers=H, json={
"bucket_name": "image-inputs",
"bucket_schema": {"properties": {"image": {"type": "image"}}},
}).json()
# 2. land the file as an object. the URL goes in data, on the blob
requests.post(f"{API}/v1/buckets/{bucket['bucket_id']}/objects", headers=H, json={
"key_prefix": "run-1",
"blobs": [{"property": "image", "type": "image",
"data": "https://example.com/photo.jpg"}],
})
# 3. a collection over that bucket, running the extractor
collection = requests.post(f"{API}/v1/collections", headers=H, json={
"collection_name": "image-to-text",
"source": {"type": "bucket", "bucket_ids": [bucket["bucket_id"]]},
"feature_extractor": {"feature_extractor_name": "image_extractor", "version": "v1"},
}).json()
# 4. run extraction over the bucket
requests.post(f"{API}/v1/buckets/{bucket['bucket_id']}/batches", headers=H, json={
"collection_ids": [collection["collection_id"]],
"auto_submit": True,
})
# 5. read the output
docs = requests.get(
f"{API}/v1/collections/{collection['collection_id']}/documents", headers=H
).json()
print(docs)Use Cases

Quick Info
Run it over a library
Mixpeek runs this conversion as a pipeline over a whole library in your object storage, with the output landing as queryable documents. It is not a single-file converter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Related Converters
Image to Embeddings
Convert images into dense vector representations using state-of-the-art vision models. Embeddings capture semantic visual features and can be used for similarity search, clustering, and cross-modal retrieval.
Image to Caption
Generate natural-language captions for images using a vision-language model. Produces concise, descriptive sentences suitable for alt text, content indexing, and accessibility compliance.
Image to Description
Generate rich, multi-sentence descriptions of images covering composition, subjects, colors, mood, and context. Ideal for detailed content cataloging, creative writing prompts, and advanced search indexing.
PDF to Text
Extract clean, structured text from PDF documents including scanned pages, multi-column layouts, headers/footers, and tables. Combines traditional parsing with OCR and layout analysis for maximum accuracy.
