About Summarize Text from Image
πΌοΈ Tired of reading long text hidden inside screenshots, photos, or scanned documents? This lightweight, private tool turns visual text into concise summaries in seconds.
With two local AI models running entirely on your device, this extension extracts text from images and compresses it into clear, readable summaries. No data ever leaves your browser. No cloud uploads. No account required. Just fast, secure, and intelligent text processing whenever you need it.
π Your Privacy Comes First
All processing happens locally inside your browser. The built-in OCR engine and the ai summarizer work offline, meaning your screenshots, photos, and documents never touch a remote server. If you care about confidentiality, this is the summarize tool you have been looking for.

β€ approximately 100 words β for concise email replies
β€ approximately 140 words β for standard blog snippets
β€ approximately 170 words β for slightly deeper overviews
Whether you need to make it shorter for Twitter, Slack, or a research note, the text compactor has a preset ready.

1. Screenshot capture β grab any area of your screen and extract text from image instantly.
2. Image upload β drag and drop image files.
3. Plain text paste β already have text copied? Skip OCR and jump straight to the ai summary generator.
π¨ Clean, Adaptive Interface
