About SnapIndex – Screenshot OCR, Annotate & Searchable PDF
SnapIndex turns every screenshot into a searchable visual memory.
Capture anything on your screen, extract the text with on-device OCR, annotate, export to searchable PDFs, and find any word inside any screenshot — months later, in one search.
📸 Four capture modes
- Visible area — current viewport, one click.
- Scrollshot — full-page capture, including lazy-loaded and infinite-scroll content.
- Area select — drag a box around exactly what you want.
- Click sequence — record a multi-step flow as one ordered capture. Built for bug reports, walkthroughs, onboarding docs, and support tickets.
🔎 Extract text from any screenshot (OCR)
Turn any image into text without leaving the browser. SnapIndex runs OCR locally via WebAssembly — your screenshots never leave your device.
- Copy text out of screenshots, scrollshots, area captures, and click sequences.
- Works on UI elements, error messages, slides, articles, and document captures.
🔍 Search inside your screenshots
Most screenshot tools save images. SnapIndex makes them findable.
- Private local index of every word inside every capture.
- Search a quote, price, name, code, error, or note across your whole library.
- Filter by site, capture type, date, or tag.
- Highlighted snippet previews show you exactly why each result matched.
📄 Export searchable PDFs
- Save any capture as a PDF with an embedded OCR text layer — searchable and copyable in any PDF viewer. Merge click-sequence captures into one multi-page document. Multilingual rendering: Latin, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean.
✏️ Annotate before you share
- Arrows, rectangles, freehand, text labels.
- Blur sensitive info or highlight what matters.
- Numbered step badges for walkthroughs.
- Crop, undo, redo.
☁️ Optional Google Drive backup
Off by default. When enabled, SnapIndex uses the narrow drive.file scope — it can only read and write the files it created. It cannot see anything else in your Drive.
🔒 Private by design
- Local-first. Screenshots, OCR text, and page content stay on your device.
- Optional cross-device sync transmits metadata only (URL, title, timestamp, capture type, Drive file ID) — never images, never OCR text.
- Export everything, delete everything, or disconnect Drive any time.
💎 Pricing — same features on every plan
- Every plan includes everything: all four capture modes, on-device OCR, full-text search, annotation, searchable PDF export, and Google Drive backup. The only difference is how much you save.
