Copyfish is a browser extension software for Google Chrome and Firefox that allows users to copy and paste or copy and translate text from within images. "Images" come in all kinds of forms: photographs, charts, diagrams, screenshots, PDF documents, comics, error messages, memes, Flash, and subtitles in YouTube movies.[1][2]

After a user marks the text in an image, Copyfish extracts it from a website, video or PDF document.[3][4]

Copyfish was first published in October 2015.[5][6] Copyfish is not only used in Western countries but despite being available only with an English user interface, is used by many Chinese and Hindi-speaking Chrome users.[7][8] The software is published under the GPL open-source license and hosted on GitHub.[9]
