Right click and copy, back on.
Some sites switch off text selection, the right click menu and Ctrl+C. Turn on "Unlock this site" and they work again on every visit.
- Select, right click, copy and paste as usual
- Frames from the same site are unlocked too
- "Unlock once" lasts until you reload the tab
Text from pixels.
Press Alt Shift C, drag a box, and the words are on your clipboard. Copyable reads the screen, not the page code, so it works where copying never could.
- Right click a picture and choose "Copy text from image" to skip the dragging
- Or choose "Select text in image" and pick just the words you want, like text on a web page
- Fix a wrong word or join wrapped lines before you paste
- Reads English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Hindi and Simplified Chinese
- Select a QR code and its link or text is copied, shown in full and never opened for you
- Select a table and paste it into Sheets, Excel or Docs with every value in its own cell
Your screen stays on your screen.
Text recognition is built into the extension. What you capture is read in your browser and goes to your clipboard, nowhere else.

Questions
The short answers. Anything else, ask us by email.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Unlocking sites and reading text both happen in your browser. Only activating a Pro key needs a connection, and Pro keeps working offline for up to 14 days between checks.
Which languages can it read?
English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Hindi and Simplified Chinese. Choose one under "Text language" in the Copyable popup. Every language is built in, so all of them work offline.
Can it read QR codes?
Yes. Select a QR code, or right click one, and its link or text is copied. Copyable shows the whole link and never opens it, so you can check where it leads first.
Can I copy only some of the words in a picture?
Yes. Right click the picture and choose "Select text in image". The words become text you can select: drag across a few, double click one, or click three times for a line, then press Ctrl C. "Copy all" takes every word and keeps the picture open so you can pick more.
Can it copy a table?
Yes. Select a table in a screenshot, a video or a PDF, or right click a picture of one, and paste it into Google Sheets or Excel: every value lands in its own cell. In Google Docs, Word or an email it pastes as a real table. Grid lines are not needed, and "Copy as text" gives you plain lines instead.
Why does it not run on some pages?
Chrome blocks every extension on its own pages, like Settings, the New Tab page and the Chrome Web Store. Copyable tells you when that is the case.
Can unlocking a site break it?
Some web apps handle copy and paste themselves, like online editors. If a site acts up, turn it off in the Copyable popup and reload the page.
How do I move Pro to another browser?
One key works in up to 3 browsers at the same time. To free a slot, click "Remove key" in the popup on the browser you no longer use.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, within 14 days of buying, no questions asked. Email support@procd.cc from the address you used at checkout.
