iMacros is a web automation tool that was available as an add-on for Mozilla Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer and as the standalone iMacros Browser for Windows, giving the user the ability to automate work in the web browser. It allows you to save a chain of actions into a macro and then play it again with one click. With iMacros you can automatically fill out registration forms, copy the necessary data from web pages, check the functionality of websites, and so on. All saved macros are listed in a special panel, where they can be played, edited or repeated in a loop.

iMacros can also extract the information presented on a web page and export it into CSV format. It supports Unicode, so it works with pages in any language. The paid editions added image recognition and a scripting interface. Progress, the last owner, discontinued iMacros in 2023, and it no longer works with modern browsers.

iMacros significantly enhances productivity by automating repetitive browser tasks, boosting efficiency and reducing the potential for manual errors.
