Features & Capabilities

Image Reader (OCR) is a Chrome extension that extracts text from any image using two open-source OCR engines: Tesseract.js and IBM Granite Docling. Choose Tesseract for lightweight, language-pack-based OCR or Granite Docling for a more advanced neural model (note: Granite requires downloading ~1200MB of model data). The extension fetches necessary language and model data from public repositories, so large language packs are downloaded on demand rather than bundled.

To use the extension, open its interface, upload an image via the file selector, and choose your OCR engine and language or backend (CPU/GPU). Results are returned as selectable text you can copy and use. Ideal for converting screenshots, scanned documents, and photos into editable text. Report bugs via the extension homepage bug form.

Is Image Reader (OCR) Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Image Reader (OCR) does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Image Reader (OCR) is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
