Why Text in a PNG Cannot Be Selected

A PNG screenshot preserves how text looks, but its letters are pixels rather than selectable characters.

PNG to text OCR works well with crisp captures, though dense graphics and tiny labels can cause errors.

Screen-Capture Text
Text inside a saved screenshot cannot be copied directly from the PNG.
Small Interface Labels
Scaled screenshots can leave buttons and captions too small to read reliably.
Mixed Visual Elements
Charts, icons, and overlays can interrupt extracted reading order.
