TextFromImage - Extract text from images locally

TextFromImage helps you copy readable text from images on your device—without sending them to the cloud. Open the floating panel from the toolbar icon: drop an image, paste from the clipboard (Ctrl+V), or pick a local file. Right-click any image on a web page and choose “Extract text from image (TextFromImage)”. Optionally drag on the preview to crop a text block, then extract. Copy the result or download a .txt file. What you get • Local OCR with Tesseract (English + Spanish bundled). • Web images via context menu (optional per-site permission when required). • Optional crop before OCR for better accuracy. • Copy to clipboard or download as .txt. • Resizable image preview and result areas. • UI in Spanish or English. What it does not do • No cloud OCR APIs—processing stays in your browser. • No developer backend; images and extracted text are not uploaded to AI4Context servers. • It does not translate text (planned as a separate extension). Tips • For posters or book covers, crop tightly to the text block before extracting. • The first OCR run may take a few seconds while language models load locally.
