Script-to-Video Explainer

Last updated: May 2026

Script-to-Video Explainer is a Chrome extension built by PixelForgeHub (Yogesh Nichal). This policy explains how the extension handles your data.

What the extension does

You paste a text script into the side panel. The extension sends that script to Google's Gemini API using your own API key, gets back a structured scene breakdown, renders kinetic-typography scenes on a local canvas, plays a voice-over via the browser's Web Speech API, and lets you export the result as a WebM or MP4 file to your Downloads folder.

Data stored on your device

Everything below is stored only on your device using chrome.storage.local. We do not run a backend server.

  • Your Google Gemini API key
  • Your Lemon Squeezy license key (Pro users only)
  • Default style and voice preferences
  • Daily export counter (to enforce the free-tier 3-per-day limit)
  • Your most recent script (so you can pick up where you left off)

Data sent over the network

  • generativelanguage.googleapis.com — the script text you paste, with your API key. Only when you click Generate Scenes with AI.
  • api.lemonsqueezy.com — your license key. Only when you click Activate in Settings.

That is the complete list. The extension does not send analytics or telemetry, does not read or modify pages you visit, does not use cookies or fingerprinting, and does not sell or share your data with anyone.

Permissions explained

  • storage: save your API key, license, and settings on your device.
  • downloads: save the exported video file to your Downloads folder.
  • sidePanel: render the UI inside Chrome's side panel.
  • host_permissions: generativelanguage.googleapis.com: call the Gemini API with your key.
  • host_permissions: api.lemonsqueezy.com: validate your Pro license key.

Optional local pipeline

If you also run the open-source PixelForgeHub pipeline server on ws://localhost:8765, the popup will attempt one WebSocket connection to it for enhanced voice synthesis. If that server is not running (the default for nearly all users) the attempt fails silently inside the popup and no data leaves your device.
