Mark text in image

I'm searching an example how to mark a text (which should be found within the image once or many times) within an image.
Must I convert the image to PDF to be able to mark the text?

Hi there,

Thank you for your question.

Could you be more specific as to what you wish to do please? Marking text is too vague and I would appreciate any screenshots you may have showing this please.
If this is on private documents you can contact us here:

For a PDF I extract the text and a screenshot of each page as an image (PNG).

If the user enters the word "Schaltfläche" I want to mark it in the PNG like this:
mark_text.png

Hi there,

My apologies for the delayed response.

GdPicture provides a solution to achieve this.

Images do not have searchable text therefore you need some of of getting this text despite it being an image.
Our OCR engine does just this.
You can get all of the text on your images and get the coordinates for each word/letter/block/paragraph and more.
You can then use our annotations to highlight such words.

If you need help doing this please let me know where. A good place to start would be to look here:

Let me know if you need anything else.
