What is Image Translation?
Image translation recognizes text inside a photo and replaces it with a translated version — right on the image itself. OLOCR goes beyond simple text output: it erases the original words with AI inpainting and renders the translation back into position, producing a clean, natural-looking result. Both the OCR and translation engines run locally in your browser, so nothing gets uploaded. Pick any language pair, and translate as many images as you want — free and private.
