Local OCR Anywhere

Copy text from images, screenshots and PDFs. 100% on-device OCR, 10 languages, auto-detect. Nothing is ever uploaded.

Get the text out of any image, screenshot, or PDF — without uploading it anywhere. Local OCR Anywhere runs text recognition (OCR) entirely on your own device. Your files never leave your computer: no upload, no login, no tracking. That makes it safe for screenshots of private documents, work files, and anything confidential. HOW IT WORKS 1. Drop an image or PDF onto the extension — or just paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V / Cmd+V 2. The text appears below, in an editable box 3. Copy it, or (Pro) save everything as a .txt file WHAT YOU GET (FREE) - Read text from any image or PDF - Edit the result before copying — fix any stray character - 3 items per day, English OCR (PDFs that already contain text extract in any language, since no OCR is needed) PRO (ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION) - Unlimited items - 10 languages: English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian - Auto-detect — don't even pick a language - All pages of a PDF (text PDFs extract instantly; scanned PDFs are read page by page) - Batch: drop several files at once - Save all recognized text as a .txt file PRIVATE BY DESIGN The only network request this extension ever makes is verifying your one-time Pro purchase (handled by ExtensionPay + Stripe). Reading images and PDFs, running OCR, and detecting languages all happen offline on your device. Great for: copying text from screenshots, scanned documents and PDFs, receipts, business cards, slides, and any image where the text can't be selected.
