Search text inside screenshots on Windows
Pastidy reads the text in every screenshot and image you copy, so you can search for a word you remember and find the exact image. It runs on your PC, so the image never leaves your computer.

Why it helps
Screenshots pile up. Searching by filename does not work, but searching by the words inside does.
How it works
Copy or capture an image. Pastidy reads its text in the background. Type a word in the search box and matching screenshots appear.
Privacy
Text recognition happens on your PC. Pastidy does not upload your screenshots.
Questions and answers
Does Pastidy send my screenshots to a server?
No. Pastidy works offline and reads screenshot text on your PC.
