Translate Text in Any Image Instantly

Image Translator is a free online AI tool that translates text inside photos, posters and screenshots and writes the translation back into the image, for travellers, sellers and translators. Use it when you need the translated image, not just the words. It is not a certified translation service: for legal, medical or immigration documents, use a sworn translator.

When you encounter text in images that you cannot read — a foreign language menu at a restaurant, a sign while traveling, product instructions in another language, or a document in a script you do not understand — copying the text into Google Translate is tedious, and sometimes the text is in a format that cannot be selected or copied at all. Our image translator solves this by processing the image directly. Upload any image containing text in a foreign language, select your target language, and the AI handles the entire translation process. The image translator detects all visible text in the image, identifies the source language, translates the content to your chosen target language, and renders the translated text directly onto the image. The translated text replaces the original with matching visual style — font size, color, and placement are adapted to fit the translation naturally within the original design. This image translator supports all major language pairs — English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Italian, Russian, and many more. It handles Latin scripts, CJK characters, Arabic script, Devanagari, Cyrillic, and other writing systems. The image translator works best on images with clear, readable text in moderate amounts. For images with very dense text like full document pages, processing sections across multiple passes produces the best translation quality. Our system screens for content moderation automatically. No apps to install, no signup needed.

How does it work? RemoveTexts uses deep learning inpainting — the same class of neural network architecture described in a 2022 survey published in IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence — to analyze surrounding pixels and reconstruct the background where text was removed. On RemoveTexts, 94% of 11,394 measured tasks finished successfully (as of 2026-10-01). Results are weakest when text covers most of the image or sits on faces and fine patterns.

What Makes Our Image Translator Tool Special?

1In-Image Translation

The image translator renders translated text directly on the image, replacing the original foreign language text. The translation maintains the visual layout so you can understand the content in context rather than reading a separate text translation.

2All Major Languages

English, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Japanese, Korean, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Italian, Russian, Dutch, Indonesian, Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese, and more. The image translator handles Latin, CJK, Arabic, Cyrillic, and Devanagari scripts.

3Context-Aware Translation

The AI translates text considering the visual context of the image — a menu image gets food-appropriate translations, a sign gets directional translations, a product label gets technical translations. Context improves translation accuracy.

4High Success Rate

The image translator handles typical translation scenarios — signs, menus, labels, short documents — with high reliability. Best results come from images with clear, readable text.

Image Translator: Frequently Asked Questions

How does the image translator work?
Upload any image containing text in a foreign language, select your target language, and submit. The AI detects all visible text, identifies the source language, translates the content, and renders the translated text directly on the image — replacing the original foreign text with your chosen language. The translation maintains the visual layout of the original image so you can understand the content in its original context.
What languages does the image translator support?
All major world languages are supported — English, Spanish, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Italian, Russian, Dutch, Indonesian, Polish, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese. The AI handles multiple writing systems including Latin, CJK, Arabic, Cyrillic, Devanagari, and Thai scripts.
Does it translate text on the image or just provide a text translation?
The image translator renders the translation directly on the image, replacing the original foreign text visually. This is different from OCR-based translators that just extract and translate text. You get an image where the foreign text has been replaced with your chosen language, maintaining the original layout and design context.
What is the success rate for image translation?
The image translator works best on images with clear, readable text in moderate amounts — signs, menus, labels, short documents. For images with very dense text like full pages of a book, processing sections across multiple passes produces the best translation quality and accuracy.
Can it translate handwritten text in images?
The image translator can handle printed text reliably. Handwritten text in foreign languages is more challenging — results depend on the legibility of the handwriting. Clear, neat handwriting produces better translations than cursive or abbreviated handwriting. For best results with handwritten content, ensure the photo is well-lit and the text is clearly visible.
Are there content restrictions?
Yes. Our system screens for pornographic content and certain protected materials. Standard photos of signs, menus, documents, product labels, and everyday images process without issues. The content moderation runs before translation begins.
