How to translate text in an image

Three steps from upload to a translated image.

  1. Upload your image

    Sign in with Google and upload a PNG, JPG or WebP up to 14 MiB. Text detection finds the words automatically; add any line it missed, such as small or handwritten text.

  2. Choose a language

    Pick one of 35 languages. Everything the text detection found is translated, or turn off Translate all text to choose the lines yourself, fix a misread line or add one that was missed.

  3. Translate and download

    At 1K, translate the image as a Standard edit for 1 credit, or in High quality for 2 credits when the lettering is detailed; for 2K or 4K, the button shows the total. The AI writes each translation in place of the original text, in a matching style. Compare, then download a PNG; your original stays saved in My images.

Frequently asked questions

Can I translate the text in an image and keep the design?

Yes. The AI replaces each line with its translation in the same place and keeps its color, size and position, so there is no font to pick. When the new language uses another script, such as Japanese or Korean, it uses the closest matching style. Details close to the text can change, and results vary with unusual lettering or busy backgrounds, so check the finished image before you use it.

Which languages can I translate into?

You can translate into any of the 35 languages EditText.ai supports, including Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian and Indonesian. Each language is listed under its own name, such as 日本語 or Deutsch. Text detection reads the original words first; turn off Translate all text to correct a line it misread.

What if the translation is longer than the original?

Some languages need more room: German and Russian, for example, often run longer than English. The AI fits each translation inside the area of the original text, using a smaller size or an extra line break where needed, so a long line can come out smaller than the original. Compare the result with the original before you download it.

Are names, prices and web addresses translated?

They are kept as written wherever possible. Lines made only of prices, numbers, web addresses, email addresses or social handles are passed to the AI as text to keep, and it is told to copy them exactly inside other lines too. It is also asked to keep brand and personal names, so check them in the result. To keep a whole line in its original language, turn off Translate all text and untick it.

How much does it cost to translate an image?

Translating an image is a normal edit: 1 credit for Standard, or 2 credits for High quality, at 1K. High quality suits detailed lettering and busy backgrounds. With a plan, a 2K edit uses 2 credits or 5 credits and a 4K edit 3 credits or 7 credits. Every account includes one free Standard edit with a watermark. Plans cost $9, $29 or $49 a month for 10, 35 or 60 credits.

What if some of the text is not detected?

Text detection runs as soon as you upload, but it can miss small, blurry or handwritten text, and text that is not listed stays as it is. Turn off Translate all text to see the list, then fix a misread line or add a missing one. You can upload PNG, JPG or WebP images up to 14 MiB; results download as PNG files and stay in My images.
