About

Link Capture

Features
Read full description

Stop retyping links you see in screenshots. LinkCapture reads the URLs right out of your images and saves them as tidy, searchable bookmarks — all on your device, no account required. Point it at a screenshot, a photo, or something on your clipboard, and LinkCapture uses Apple's on-device text recognition to pull out every link it finds. One image with three links becomes three bookmarks. Emails are detected too. Then it offers something no camera roll does: once your link is safe, delete the source image and reclaim the storage. **WHAT YOU CAN DO** • Extract links from screenshots, photos, the camera, or the clipboard • Get every URL in an image at once — save one bookmark per link • See every link with its site's favicon, in a list or a grid • Organize with colorful, icon-tagged categories • Search and filter your whole collection instantly • Browse a Recents timeline grouped by date • Open links in an in-app browser, or copy and share them • Automatically strip tracking clutter (?fbclid=…, utm_…) off every link • Detect email addresses, file them in their own category, and pick which mail app opens them • Edit a saved link anytime — or add one to a "no-link" capture • Back up your links and categories to iCloud • Reclaim storage by deleting the source photo — now or later **SHARE SHEET BUILT IN** Send an image to LinkCapture straight from Photos, Safari, or any app via the Share sheet. It extracts the links and saves them without leaving what you were doing. **PRIVATE BY DESIGN** Extraction and storage happen entirely on your iPhone or iPad — no servers, no account, and your bookmarks and images never leave your device. Favicons are fetched directly from each site, not a third-party icon service. LinkCapture is free to use with ads; subscribe to Pro to remove them. _(with ads)_ **PRO — GO DEEPER** Some links wrap across multiple lines in a screenshot. LinkCapture Pro reconstructs those full, deep links automatically, removes ads, and adds 100 extractions to your balance every month. $4.99/month — cancel anytime. Start with 30 free extractions. Grab a pack whenever you need more. LinkCapture Pro is an auto-renewable subscription: $4.99 (USD) per month, billed to your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
