Is Image Text to Text safe?

Clean risk

Image Text to Text sends selected screen captures or uploaded images to Cresotech's OCR API with a device ID.

When you select an area of a page, the extension captures the visible tab, crops the selected region, and passes that image to the popup. The popup sends the image or an uploaded image, selected language, and stored device_id to highlight.cresotech.com/api/process-image for OCR.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Image Text 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.
