Translate the text in a picture

Upload a photo, poster, sign, menu or screenshot. The text is read, painted out and replaced with the translation in the same place, colour and style.

Document translation is available to signed-in members.

Up to 10 MB · 250,000 characters of text

You'll get the translated picture back as an image (PNG or JPEG) and a PDF, plus the text as Word or a text file, and a side-by-side report.

Translations can be longer. French usually runs 15–25% longer than English. Where a box has no room to grow, the text is set a little smaller so the layout is kept.

Good to know

Clear, printed text works best — posters, signs, menus, leaflets and screenshots. Handwriting and text at a steep angle may not be read.
Choose the language the picture is written in: the text is read in your browser before the picture is sent.
The original text is painted out and the translation set in its place, in the same colour.
Every document comes with a free side-by-side report: each sentence of the original next to its translation, so you can see what the new version says.
Your file is translated privately and deleted automatically after 30 days.
