Ocrette – Copy Text from Image (Offline OCR)

Select any area and copy its text: images, screenshots, scanned PDFs, paused videos. On-device OCR: nothing is uploaded.

Ocrette copies the text of any area of your screen: an image, a screenshot, a scanned PDF, a paused video or text you simply cannot select. Text recognition (OCR) runs on your computer: no image is ever uploaded. How it works • Press Alt+Shift+O or click the icon, then draw a rectangle: the text is copied to your clipboard. • Right-click an image → "Copy text from image". • "Read a file": drop an image or a PDF. Text already present in a PDF is extracted directly; scanned pages go through OCR. • You can edit the text before copying; "Copy as one line" removes line breaks. 100% local and private • The recognition engine and the languages ship inside the extension: offline OCR that works without a connection. • No permanent access to websites: Ocrette only sees a page after your action (shortcut, click, menu). • No account, no ads, no usage analytics. • Made for sensitive documents: the image never leaves your device, no upload, ever. Free • 10 extractions a day, in English and French. Ocrette Pro: €2.99 a month, €19 a year or €39 lifetime (payment through Polar, our reseller) • Unlimited extractions. • 4 more languages: German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. • Several areas joined into one text. • Automatic formatting: joined lines, rejoined split words. • Local history of your last 200 texts, with search. Good to know • Built for printed and on-screen text: handwriting is poorly recognised. • The browser's internal pages and the extension store cannot be captured.
