Understand this tool
Local OCR, selective translation
OCR runs in your browser for the selected source language. The extracted text is reviewed before any AI translation. The tool outputs text only and does not edit or return the original image. You can correct OCR mistakes in the text area.
Part-based AI requests
AI translation sends extracted text to DeepSeek in parts no longer than 500 characters. The page displays the number of requests before you start. Each successful request consumes one daily free translation or 1 credit.

Ways to use this tool
Translate a restaurant menu photo
You photograph a menu in English and upload the PNG. Select English as the OCR source, review the extracted dish names, then translate them into Spanish. The tool returns text only, so you can copy the Spanish menu into a notes app. No image editing is included.
Read a product label in another language
You have a Japanese product label saved as JPEG. Choose Japanese for browser OCR, correct any unclear characters in the extracted text, then translate to English. The output is plain text you can copy. Translation runs in parts of at most 500 characters. No image editing.
Capture text from a presentation slide
You export a slide as WebP and upload it. OCR extracts the English bullet points. After review, translate the text to French. The tool sends text in 500-character parts and shows the request count first. Output is text, so layout is not preserved. You can copy the result.
Turn a photographed receipt into Spanish text
You upload a JPEG receipt with English line items. Select English OCR, check amounts and store name, then translate to Spanish. The tool outputs text only; you can download or copy it. Files must be 5MB or smaller. AI translation requires sign-in. No image editing is included.
