Text From Image Extractor

Drag to select a region; copies merged DOM + OCR text to clipboard.

Text From Image Extractor lets you drag a selection box over any webpage and instantly copy clean, merged text to your clipboard. It combines visible DOM text with OCR output from images inside the selection and produces a single, deduplicated text block—no manual retyping or cleanup required. How it works: • Start region capture using Alt+Shift+C or the toolbar button. • Drag to select any visible area on the page. • The extension screenshots the region, extracts DOM text, performs OCR on images, merges and deduplicates the results, and copies the final text to your clipboard. • A status toast confirms capture and shows a character count. Key features: • Fast region capture via hotkey (Alt+Shift+C) or toolbar button. • Merged DOM + OCR extraction for accurate results across UI text, images, and rendered PDFs. • Clean, deduplicated text output. • Account system with Google/email sign-in, free trial, and Stripe-based subscription management. • Popup UI for account status, billing management, upgrades, refresh, and sign-out. • Status indicators for successful extraction. Who it’s for: Researchers, writers, QA/ops teams, and anyone who frequently copies text from mixed-content sources—web apps, dashboards, screenshots, UI components, or PDFs rendered in-page. Permissions: The extension requires `activeTab`, `tabs`, `scripting`, `clipboardWrite`, `contextMenus`, `storage`, `identity`, and `<all_urls>` to enable region capture, text extraction, OCR requests, and clipboard operations. Limitations: Due to browser security constraints, it cannot extract DOM text from chrome:// pages, the Chrome Web Store, native PDF viewer pages, or cross-origin sandboxed iframes. OCR still works on visible pixels, but DOM text may be unavailable in these restricted contexts. Privacy: • Uses cookies/sessions for authentication and Stripe for billing. • OCR requests are sent to the backend solely to generate the extracted text. • No analytics tracking, no third-party ads, and no sale of user data. Test instructions: 1. Install the extension. 2. Open any webpage and click the toolbar icon. 3. Sign in with Google or email. 4. Click “Start region capture,” drag a selection, and verify extracted text in the clipboard toast. 5. Use the “Upgrade” button to test Stripe Checkout; access the billing portal when signed in.
