Copy anything you can see.

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.

  • 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.

Text recognition is built into the extension. What you capture is read in your browser and goes to your clipboard, nowhere else.

Read on your device
The OCR engine ships inside Copyable. Screenshots are never uploaded or saved.
Works offline

Questions

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, including numbers and punctuation. More languages may come later.

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.
