Free Chrome OCR extension — on-device text

Offline OCR and privacy

Teams comparing ocr text extraction online services should ask one question: does the image leave the laptop?

Local recognition path

Img to Txt - OCR & Image Text Extractor is built so default OCR runs after language packs are cached on your device. That reduces exposure for IDs, finance screenshots, and internal dashboards.

When the network is still used

First-time language downloads need the internet. Optional translation may call an online service with text, not necessarily the original image.

Website analytics are separate

Product pages may use Umami for visit counts. That telemetry is not the same as sending your screenshot to a cloud OCR API.

Clear local history

If you enable history, clear it inside the extension before handing off a shared machine.
