PLUK — See it. Copy it. de Shivam

PLUK — See it. Understand it. Copy it.

If you can see it, you can copy it.

PLUK lets you copy text that normally can't be selected — from images, screenshots, videos, PDFs, presentations, code and other visual content.

How it works

Alt + Shift + Drag over any text → release → copied automatically.

Prefer a simpler shortcut? Ctrl + Drag is also available as an alternative.

No menus. No uploading. No complicated workflow.

What you can copy

• Text from images and screenshots
• Code from tutorials, videos and images
• Text inside PDFs and presentations
• Text from websites and social media
• Text that normally isn't selectable
• Colored, styled and mixed-size text

PLUK also tries to preserve line breaks and indentation when copying code.

Private & Local

PLUK performs text recognition entirely on your device.

• No account required
• No cloud processing
• No external AI service
• Your selected content is never uploaded
• English recognition is included by default
• Download one additional language when you need it
• Remove the additional language whenever you no longer need it

Simple by Design

You don't need to know what OCR is.

See text → drag over it → paste it.

That's it.

A Note About Limitations

PLUK uses local text recognition, so results can vary depending on the content you're selecting.

Very small, blurry, heavily stylized or low-contrast text may not be recognized perfectly. Complex layouts and some websites, videos or protected content may also behave differently depending on how the content is rendered.

PLUK is designed to work across a wide range of visual content, but it cannot guarantee perfect recognition in every situation.

We're continuously improving accuracy, especially for code, PDFs, mixed formatting, colored text and difficult images.

Free & Open Source
