About Image to Text for Chrome
Turn screenshots, images, scans, and PDFs into editable text with private OCR that runs locally in Chrome.
Image to Text for Chrome helps you copy words that normal copy and paste cannot reach. Select an area of a webpage, right-click an image, or upload a PNG, JPG, WebP, scan, or PDF. Review the result, copy it, or download it as a TXT file.
Popular uses:
• Screenshot to text and image to text
• PDF and scanned-document OCR
• Receipts, shipping labels, notes, posters, and lecture slides
• Product images and websites where text cannot be selected
• Quick extraction of email addresses, links, and phone numbers
Free and Lifetime access:
• 20 OCR reads per month are free on your browser
• A $29 one-time Lifetime purchase unlocks unlimited reads and TXT downloads
• No subscription or recurring fee
• Lifetime access can be active on up to 2 devices
How paid access works:
• Stripe securely handles checkout and emails the payment receipt
• The purchasing browser unlocks automatically after checkout
• A private recovery key remains visible on the confirmation page
• A new device requires checkout confirmation or receipt-verified recovery at https://imagetotextchrome.vercel.app/recover
• A key by itself cannot claim an unregistered device
• The purchaser can reset both device slots once every 30 days
• Refunded or disputed purchases stop validating
Privacy first:
Image and PDF content used for OCR stays on your device. Image to Text does not send screenshots, documents, extracted text, or browsing history to a remote OCR service. Billing and access verification are separate from OCR processing.
Help, privacy information, and purchase recovery are available at https://imagetotextchrome.vercel.app/support.
