Copying words into a translator produces plain text, not a localized graphic. When the finished JPG, PNG or WebP is the only source, the workflow must understand visible wording, translate it and render the target language back into the composition.
What is design-preserving image translation?
It creates a new localized image while aiming to retain the source text regions, visual hierarchy, font appearance, color, alignment, effects and surrounding artwork. Longer phrases may need smaller readable type or new line wrapping, so preservation means visual continuity rather than pixel-identical output.
Who uses this workflow?
Ecommerce teams, SaaS marketers, creators and localization reviewers use it for product graphics, screenshots, posters, banners and social assets when the layered source file is unavailable.
How to translate an image
- Open Translate Text in Image and upload a clear JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB.
- Choose one of the 20 available target languages. The source is detected automatically.
- Select Fast for simple images and clear text or Quality for posters, small text and complex layouts. Use the live editor for current credit costs.
- Sign in, generate one localized image and review the result before downloading.
How is this different from OCR translation?
OCR translation extracts words for reading or copying. Image translation returns a visual asset with translated wording rendered inside it. Use plain OCR when you only need text; use the image workflow when the localized graphic itself is the deliverable.
What should you check next?
Verify meaning with a qualified reviewer, then inspect spelling, glyphs, reading direction, line breaks, product facts, objects, dimensions and background reconstruction. Regenerate or return to the source design if a critical issue remains.
FAQ
Does it preserve the exact font?
No guarantee is made. A compatible fallback may be needed when the original font lacks target-language glyphs.
Can I create several languages?
Choose one target per generation, then select another language for a separate result.
