If It Has Text, We Can Translate It
Not every image with foreign text is a manga page or comic panel. Sometimes it's a screenshot from a game. A photo of a restaurant menu. A product label. A meme that's gone viral in another country. An infographic shared on social media. A presentation slide from an international colleague. Text shows up in images everywhere, and when you can't read it, you need a fast solution.
Our image text translator handles all of these. Upload any image containing text in any language, and the system detects the text, reads it using advanced OCR, and translates it into your chosen language. It works with 22+ languages in any direction. Japanese to English. English to Spanish. Korean to French. Arabic to Portuguese. Any combination you need.
Beyond Comics and Manga
While we built powerful tools for manga translation and comic dialogue, image text translation extends far beyond entertainment. Travelers photograph signs and menus abroad. Students receive study materials in foreign languages. Researchers analyze documents from international sources. Gamers want to understand untranslated game interfaces.
The image text translator serves all of these use cases. It doesn't assume your image is a specific format or that the text follows any particular layout. Curved text on product packaging. Vertical text on traditional signage. Small text in dense infographics. Handwritten notes on photographs. Overlaid text on social media images. The system finds and translates readable text wherever it appears.
How Image Text Translation Works
The process combines two AI capabilities. First, optical character recognition (OCR) detects and reads the text in your image. This step identifies where text exists, what language it's in, and what it says. Second, contextual translation converts that text into your target language while preserving meaning, tone, and any relevant context.
What makes this better than typing text into a basic translation box? Context. When the AI can see the full image, it understands the context around the text. A word on a warning sign gets translated differently than the same word in a casual conversation bubble. Text near a price tag is understood as commercial. Text in a speech bubble is understood as dialogue. Visual context improves translation accuracy significantly.
Every image costs 0.1 credits to translate. There's no minimum image size and no maximum. Upload a tiny screenshot or a high-resolution photograph. The system scales to handle whatever you send it. For regular users, our credit packages make bulk translation affordable.
For comic and manga-specific needs, check out our specialized tools: speech bubble translator for dialogue, SFX translator for sound effects, and the full image translation suite for everything else.

Common Questions About image text translation
What you need to know before you Translate text in images:
What types of images can Image Text Translator translate?
Manga pages, manhwa panels, manhua spreads, webtoon screenshots, scanned doujinshi, comic strips, and any image with readable text. It works with photos, screenshots, and digital files. If you can read the text in the image, Image Text Translator can translate it.
How does Image Text Translator handle SFX and sound effects?
The AI detects stylized text like onomatopoeia (crash, boom, swoosh) and sound effects layered over artwork. These get translated alongside dialogue and narration. Complex hand-drawn SFX in very stylized fonts may occasionally need manual review, but standard printed text translates cleanly.
Is my data private when I use Image Text Translator?
Yes. All image processing happens in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere. Once you close the tab, the data is gone. This is browser-local processing by design, not an afterthought.
How much does it cost to Translate text in images?
Each image costs 0.1 credits. A typical manga chapter of 20 pages costs 2 credits. A full volume of 180 pages costs about 18 credits. Compare that to waiting months for a fan translation or paying full price for an official release that may never come.
