Image To Text FAQ
Common questions about OCR in Chrome.
A quick guide to copying text from screenshots, images, scans, and PDFs without retyping it by hand.
How do I copy text from an image in Chrome?
Install the extension, then select an area of a page, right-click an image, or upload a file. The recognized text opens in a clean view where you can review and copy it.
Can it turn a screenshot into editable text?
Yes. Use a screenshot, scan, receipt, slide, label, or photo, and the OCR reader converts visible words into text you can copy.
Does the OCR upload my images to a server?
No. Image and PDF content used for OCR is processed locally in your browser. Billing and paid-access verification are separate from the OCR process.
Can the Chrome extension extract text from PDFs?
Yes. You can upload a PDF to the extension and extract its text, alongside common image formats and selected areas of webpages.
Is Image to Text for Chrome free?
The extension includes 20 free reads per month on your browser. A one-time Lifetime purchase removes the read limit and adds TXT downloads.
How It Works
Three steps between the image you have and the text you need.
1. Capture
Use the Chrome extension to grab the visible part of a page, or upload a screenshot, photo, or scan.
2. Extract
The app reads the text and places it in one clean output pane so you can review it instantly.
3. Use it
Copy the result, download it, or keep going with the next image. The core flow stays lightweight and obvious.
