About Screenshot Search Engine

Have hundreds of screenshots of receipts, memes, or notes, and can't find the one you need? The Screenshot Search Engine uses advanced WebAssembly OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to read the text inside your images directly in your browser. Just drop your image folder in, let it index, and search for any word or phrase. 100% offline, private, and lightning fast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this upload my private photos to the cloud?

No! The OCR AI (Tesseract.js) is downloaded to your browser and runs locally on your machine. Your images never leave your device.

How many images can I search at once?

You can load hundreds of images, but processing time depends entirely on your computer's CPU speed. We recommend doing batches of 50-100 for older laptops.

Why is it missing some text?

OCR technology isn't perfect. It works best on clear, high-contrast text. Blurry images or heavily stylized fonts might not be read perfectly.
