Privacy First
All OCR processing happens entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server and are processed locally on your device.
How to Translate Text in Images
Translating text locked in images requires two steps: first extract the text (OCR), then translate it. Our tool handles the extraction - you'll get clean, copyable text that you can paste into any translation service for accurate results.
Extract Text with OCR
Upload your image above. Our OCR will detect and extract all text, regardless of language.
Copy the Extracted Text
Click "Copy" to copy all extracted text to your clipboard.
Translate with Your Preferred Service
Paste into Google Translate, DeepL, Microsoft Translator, or any translation tool. Select your target language.
Why Extract Before Translating?
Better Translation Quality
Direct image translation often misses context. Extracting text first lets you review, correct OCR errors, and provide complete sentences to translators for better results.
Any Language Pair
Our OCR extracts text regardless of language. Combined with translation services supporting 100+ languages, you're not limited to specific language combinations.
Choose Your Translator
Use Google Translate for speed, DeepL for European languages, or specialized translators for technical content. You control the translation quality.
Save for Reference
Keep both the original extracted text and translations for documentation. Useful for contracts, official documents, or language learning.
