Capture any area of the screen and turn it into text

How it works

1. Press Ctrl Shift K (or choose Capture area in the + menu or the right-click menu).
2. Drag to select the part of the page you need.
3. The capture is attached to your message — ask “Extract the text”, “Explain this chart” or “What does this error mean?”.
4. Send. The image is used for that answer only and is not stored on our servers.

Great for

Text inside images and infographics, error dialogs, chart values, code in screenshots or videos you paused, and pages that block copying.

Privacy

Only the area you select is captured, and only when you trigger it. Captured images aren't saved in your chat history.
