Image to Text was a lightweight browser extension that provided instant OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and text extraction from web images and local screenshots. With a modest user base, it allowed users to copy unselectable text from images with a single click.
Like many utility extensions, maintenance ceased as browser APIs evolved and native OS-level text recognition (such as macOS Live Text and Windows Snipping Tool OCR) made standalone browser extensions redundant.
