Feature

Copy text from a screenshot without uploading it

Text extraction helps teams copy visible text from screenshots into tickets, docs, or investigations. Captorify explains what OCR does locally, where accuracy can fail, and how extraction fits with redaction and privacy checks.

Step 01

What text extraction does

Text extraction reads the visible text in a screenshot and turns it into copyable text you can paste into a ticket, a doc, or a search box. Captorify runs this with browser-based OCR so you do not have to retype what is on screen.

Converts the text in an image into copyable text.
Runs in the browser using on-device OCR.
Browser-based text extraction is a Pro feature.

Step 02

Real OCR example

Picture a stack trace in a bug screenshot or an error dialog you want to search for. Instead of retyping it, extract the text and paste it straight into your issue tracker or a search engine.

Step 03

Privacy boundary

Captorify extracts text locally in your browser. The screenshot is not uploaded to a server just to read its text, so the image stays on your device during extraction.

OCR runs on your device, not on a remote server.
The screenshot is not uploaded to extract its text.
Captorify has no cloud-OCR mode.

Step 04

Accuracy limits

OCR is accurate on clean, high-contrast text but can misread small fonts, low-resolution captures, stylized type, or text over busy backgrounds. Always proofread extracted text before relying on it.

Best on clean, high-contrast, reasonably sized text.
Small, stylized, or low-resolution text can be misread.
Proofread the result before you depend on it.

Step 05

Workflows

Extraction fits any task where the text in an image has to become editable text. Pull an error into a bug report, lift figures into a spreadsheet, or copy quoted text into documentation.

Step 06

Related privacy choices

Extracted text can contain the same sensitive values as the screenshot. Before sharing either the image or the text, redact anything private, and run through a privacy checklist when the capture leaves your team.
