Turn any image into text — private, on-device OCR

Extract text from screenshots, photos, screen areas, and any image on the web. Private and offline — your images never leave your device.Textquill extracts text from any image, screenshot, or web page — entirely on your device. Right-click an image or select any area, and get editable text in a second. 16 languages, QR codes, read-aloud, export to TXT/Markdown. No account, no uploads, no tracking.
Super smooth right-click OCR on web images and the offline angle is genuinely reassuring. The read-aloud feature was a nice surprise, though I wish the area selection tool had a magnifier for pixel-perfect cropping.
@memetsanayi Appreciate this, Memet, read-aloud is one of those features people don't expect until they need it. And you're right about the area-select magnifier for pixel-perfect cropping; it's a real gap. I've added it to the roadmap so cropping tight regions gets easier. Thanks for the sharp feedback 🙌
Love the offline approach and the right-click extraction sounds super handy. One thing I'd love to see is a small floating mini-toolbar that pops up right after the text is extracted, with quick options like "copy," "translate," or "open in editor," so I don't have to dig into the extension menu every time.
@canturel1pwy Love this, Can -a little floating toolbar right at the extraction point ("copy / translate / open in editor") without
diving back into the menu is exactly the kind of friction I want gone.
It's on the roadmap. And glad the offline + right-click approach clicked for you that was the whole idea.
Appreciate the sharp suggestion! 🙌
A history of recent extractions inside the extension popup would be really useful so you can grab something you copied earlier without re-snipping. Maybe even with a quick search across the saved snippets.
@polat0sfi Good news, Polat, that history already exists: Textquill keeps a local history of your extractions,
so you can grab something from earlier without resnipping.
Search across saved snippets is the piece that's not there yet,
and it's a great call I've got it on the roadmap. Thanks for the thoughtful ask! 🙏
Right-clicking an image and getting clean text back without any upload step feels refreshing, and the offline OCR is impressively fast even on screenshots.
@sleyman585188
Thanks Süleyman! That was exactly the goal text out of an image without the "upload, wait, come back" hop. Everything runs on-device, so screenshots stay fast because nothing's leaving your machine. Really glad the offline speed landed for you 🙏
Right-clicking an image and grabbing the text felt almost instant, which surprised me for a fully offline tool. The 16-language support is a nice bonus on top of that smooth experience.
@deniz220617 Thank you, Deniz! The "instant even though it's fully offline" reaction is my favorite to hear, on-device OCR means there's no round-trip to a server slowing you down. The 16 languages run locally too. Thanks for the kind words!
Runs right in the browser with nothing to install, which caught me off guard. The read-aloud feature after extracting text was a nice touch I didn't expect.
@glsmntu0 Thanks so much, Gülsüm! "Caught me off guard" is the reaction I hoped for — it's just add-to-Chrome and go, no account, no setup. Glad read aloud was a happy surprise, that one quietly became a favorite. 🙏
