Translate Image to English
Upload a photo, screenshot or scan — get an English version with the original layout, fonts and background intact. Auto-detects the source language across all 55 supported languages.
Translate nowNeed to turn a foreign-language image into English? This tool translates pictures to English directly: upload the image, and a translation-tuned multimodal model (qwen-mt-image-2.0) reads every piece of text in it — menus, screenshots, documents, signs, handwriting — rewrites it in English, and repaints the result over the original text. What you get back looks like the original was made in English: same fonts, same colors, same layout. It understands any of the 55 supported source languages, and if you do not know which language your image is in, source auto-detect figures it out for you. It is the fastest way to translate a picture to English without retyping anything into a text translator.
- 1No retyping: classic translators make you transcribe the text out of the photo first. Here the photo itself is the input — point, shoot, upload, done.
- 2Layout stays intact: labels, captions and callouts are rewritten in place, so diagrams, memes, forms and UI screenshots remain readable as images.
- 3Auto-detect source language: got an image in Russian? Japanese? Arabic? Just leave the source on auto — the model identifies the script and translates it.
- 4Translation-tuned model: qwen-mt-image-2.0 is built for image translation specifically, so it handles idioms, menus and interface strings better than generic OCR plus a dictionary.
- 5Free daily quota: register a free account and translate images to English every day at no cost — results come with no watermark.
- 655 source languages: from Spanish and French to Kazakh and Nepali — every language the model supports can be piped into English.
Good to know
- English output uses widely available Latin-alphabet fonts, so translated labels read naturally in any context.
- Source auto-detect covers Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, CJK, Devanagari and Thai scripts among others — no need to know the language first.
- Mixed-language images (e.g. a Chinese poster with an English logo) are translated selectively: the foreign text changes, the English stays.
Three steps to a translated image
Upload your image
Drag in a photo, screenshot or scan. The model auto-detects the script before translating.
Pick languages
The page pre-selects the right pair for you. Keep it or change it — auto-detect is available for the source.
Download the result
Give the output a quick pass for proper nouns — place and person names are the most common thing to double-check. Then copy or download — no watermark.
Built for real-world images
Layout-Preserving Translation
Text is rewritten in place — fonts, colors, positions and the original background are kept. The output looks like it was never translated.
