2.1 OCR (Text Extraction from Images)

When you use the OCR feature to extract text from image:

  1. You select and capture a portion of a webpage
  2. The captured image is sent directly to OCR.space (a third-party service) for text recognition via HTTPS (encrypted connection)
  3. OCR.space processes the image and returns the extracted text to your browser
  4. We do not store the captured image or the extracted text
  5. No server of ours is involved in this process
⚠️ Important: When using OCR features, your captured images are sent to OCR.space for processing. Please review OCR.space's Privacy Policy for information about how they handle your data.
ℹ️ API Limits: We use OCR.space's free API, which has a rate limit of 25,000 requests per month. For more details about rate limits, see OCR.space API documentation.
