Could it be this MacOS feature you are seeing?

On that note, the Preview app on MacOS does it automatically. I recently screenshotted my terminal to show a colleague and then noticed I could also copy text from that screenshot. Really cool and really helpful.

Can also do it in Firefox on Windows.
One way to do it is you OCR the text and then print the text on top in a transparent font.

Indeed; it actually reminded me of the weird trick discovered by my mom.
Notably, the science fiction magazine had ads for people who are way into their middle age.
