Is Convert Picture to Text safe?
Convert Picture to Text runs Tesseract OCR locally in the browser, fetching language model files from an external CDN when processing images.
When activated via the toolbar button or context menu, the extension injects a screenshot-selection UI into the current page. The selected region is captured and passed to a bundled Tesseract.js engine running inside a sandboxed iframe. Language training data files are downloaded on demand from tessdata.projectnaptha.com. The extracted text is displayed in an overlay on the page; no image or text data is sent to the extension's own servers.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Convert Picture to Text contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
