Image to Text – Extract text and translate images easily

Image to Text is a Chrome browser extension that helps convert text from images into editable, copyable content and translates it into multiple languages using Google Lens OCR and Google Translate technology.

Problem solved

Have you ever struggled to copy content from screenshots, scanned documents, or translate a block of text on a website but couldn't select it directly? Image to Text simplifies this process without the need to manually re-enter the content or switch between multiple tools.

Main features

• Extract text from images: Supports uploading images, drag and drop, pasting images with Ctrl + V, or capturing a region on the website to recognize text.
• Multilingual text translation: Integrates Google Translate, allowing you to select the source language, target language, and translate recognized content directly.
• Direct translation on the website: Select any region on the website to display the translation next to each line of text. You can switch between the original and translation or drag and drop the display position.
• Edit and copy: Review and edit the OCR results before copying them for use in documents, emails, or work.
• Recognition history: Stores the last 20 OCR results in Chrome's local storage for easy review.

Who should use it?

Image to Text is suitable for students who need to extract content from study materials; office workers who regularly handle images, documents, and screenshots; programmers who need to copy text from interfaces or error messages; language learners and anyone who frequently reads websites in foreign languages.
