Video-to-Explainer — AI Captions + Glass UI Cards

Last updated: May 2026

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

What the extension does

You drop a short video file (max 60 seconds, max 20 MB) into the side panel. The extension sends that video to Google's Gemini Vision API using your own API key, gets back a transcript plus a caption-and-overlay plan, renders glass UI cards on a local canvas above the video, and lets you export the composited result as a video 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 caption-style preference
  • Daily export counter (to enforce the free-tier 3-per-day limit)

The uploaded video itself is never persisted. It lives in browser memory only for the duration of the session and is discarded when you close the side panel or click Replace.

Data sent over the network

  • generativelanguage.googleapis.com — your uploaded video (base64-inlined), with your API key. Only when you click Analyze 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 access your webcam, microphone, or screen, 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 captioned video to your Downloads folder.
  • sidePanel: render the UI inside Chrome's side panel.
  • host_permissions: generativelanguage.googleapis.com: upload the user's chosen video to the Gemini Vision API.
  • host_permissions: api.lemonsqueezy.com: validate your Pro license key.
