SnapText — Image & Screenshot to Text (OCR)

About

Turn any image or screenshot into editable text — instantly, and 100% on your own device.

  SnapText is a fast, private OCR (optical character recognition) tool. Drag in an image, paste a screenshot, pick a file, or capture any area
  of your screen — SnapText reads the text and hands it to you ready to copy. Nothing is ever uploaded. No account. No sign-up. No cloud.

  ★ WHY SNAPTEXT
  Most "image to text" extensions send your screenshots to a server and nag you to buy a membership. SnapText does the opposite: the entire OCR
  engine runs locally in your browser, so your images never leave your computer. It even works fully offline after install.

  ★ WHAT YOU CAN DO
  • Image to text — drag & drop or pick any image and extract the text
  • Screenshot to text — paste a screenshot straight from your clipboard (Ctrl/⌘+V)
  • Capture a screen area — drag a box over anything on the page and get the text in a new tab
  • Copy text from images, scans, receipts, documents and slides
  • Clean, readable output — including bullet-point lists

  ★ HOW IT WORKS
  1. Click the SnapText icon (or drop / paste an image into it)
  2. To grab part of the screen, choose "Capture a screen area" and drag a selection
  3. The recognised text appears with a confidence score — copy it with one click

  ★ PRIVATE BY DESIGN
  • 100% on-device OCR — images are never uploaded
  • No account, no login, no tracking
  • Works offline after install
  • Minimal permissions — no access to your browsing

  ★ GREAT FOR
  Copying text from screenshots, scanned PDFs and photos, grabbing a quote from a video frame or slide, pulling numbers off a receipt,
  digitising notes, and any time selecting text just isn't possible.
