carl123 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 If the text is part of the pixel layer, say, as a scanned image, Affinity cannot extract it back to text You would need to use some sort of OCR software Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pšenda Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 ... for example free online service: https://www.onlineocr.net/ https://www.newocr.com/ P. S. The quality and error-free conversion will depend on the quality of the input image information. In your case (low quality + underlined and thus merging text) there may be a problem, and it may require additional corrections.

I missed the question mark there, and given what Carl said, the answer is quite obvious.

Wikkiwhite Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 If you’re just looking to have control of layers and grouping, you may have luck with convertio.co. probably the coolest API I’ve used to turn lower quality JPEGs and PNG into vectors. If the document is terrible quality, you’re not gonna have much luck. Dialing in the exposure before converting can help avoid unwanted vectors. it’s not gonna translate back into text though like the resources above. All curves. At least you’d have a good quality version that could be scaled and moved around, if that was the desired result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
