About Explain Explain

Explain Explain is a Chrome extension designed for reading without losing context. Explain selected text, hold Shift to translate text under the pointer, distill an entire page, or use Option/Alt, Tab, and S to preview, open, and download images—all without leaving the current page. Translation and image shortcuts are opt-in and configurable, while personal API keys are supported for greater control and reliability.
