Image Text Translator

Photo with text in, translated overlay out: side by side with the original, with every block to copy.

Learn more

Image Text Translator finds the text in your picture, translates it and paints the translation over the original text, so you see the image as it reads in your language. The result shows the original and the translated overlay side by side, followed by every text block with its translation, ready to copy. It works on product photos and labels, signs, menus, screenshots and slides. The overlay covers each text area with its surrounding colour and fits the translation into the same space; it does not reproduce the original typeface or effects, so for print work use the copied text in your design tool. Brand names, numbers, units and codes stay as they are.

Tips for Best Results

  • Crop the photo to the part with text: bigger text gives cleaner results.
  • Avoid reflections and steep angles; the overlay follows the text areas as they appear in the photo.
  • For a print-quality result, copy the translations and set them in your design tool with your own fonts.
  • Check numbers, prices and allergens against the original before you rely on them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it recreate the original design?

It lays the translation over the original: each text area is covered with its surrounding colour and the translation is fitted into the same space in a clean font. The original typeface, outlines and effects are not reproduced. For print, copy the translated text into your design tool.

Which languages are supported?

It reads text in all major scripts, including Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Devanagari, and translates into 30 languages.

Is my image stored?

No. The image is sent to the AI model only to read and translate the text, and is not saved on our side. The overlay is drawn in your browser.

Why are some words not translated?

Brand names, product codes, numbers, units and web addresses are deliberately kept as they are. Text that is too small or blurry to read is skipped.

Can I edit a translation?

Yes. Every block is listed under the images; change the text there and the overlay redraws before you download the PNG.
