Everything you need in a free image translator
Translate text in images
OCR photos, screenshots, and scans, then translate the extracted text into 15+ languages you can copy or download.
Local OCR, private by design
Text recognition runs in your browser with Tesseract. Your image never uploads — only the extracted text is sent for translation.
Multiple source languages
Read English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, or Japanese from the image, then translate into your target language.
Edit before you export
Fix OCR or translation wording in the result panel, then copy to the clipboard or download a plain-text .txt file.
How It Works
Translating text from a photo should not mean uploading the whole image to an opaque converter. Focera runs OCR on your device, translates that text, and lets you export the result — no account required.
- Upload your image. Drag and drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 10 MB, or click the zone to browse from your device.
- Choose languages. Pick the language of the text in the image, then the language you want it translated into.
- Translate, edit, and download. Review the result, fix wording if needed, then copy the text or download a .txt file.
Jump back to the translate your image tool anytime to process another photo.
Popular Use Cases
- Menus and signs — Translate restaurant menus, street signs, or product labels from a quick photo.
- Screenshots and slides — Turn foreign UI text or presentation captures into a language you can read.
- Scanned documents — Digitize printed letters or forms, then get a first-pass translation without retyping.
- Travel and study — Capture notes, handouts, or packaging abroad and translate them on the spot.
Clear, high-contrast images with upright printed text usually produce the best OCR and translation results.
Private by Design
OCR runs entirely in your browser — Focera does not receive the original image. Only the extracted text is sent to the translation service so the model can produce the target-language output. When you leave the page, nothing remains on our infrastructure from the upload itself.
