Image Translator: translate text in images, keep the look

A market sign, a chip bag, a tattoo, a poster. Upload the image, name the language, and the Image Translator rewrites the text in place with the same fonts, colors and perspective, so the picture still looks like the picture. No retyping, no Photoshop, no mismatched captions.

What is an AI image translator?

An AI image translator reads the text inside a picture, translates it, and writes the new text back into the image in the same style and position, instead of handing you a block of plain words. Artlist's Image Translator does this for photos, packaging, signs, screenshots and art: upload the image, type the target language, download the result.

What the Image Translator does

Translate text in an image without losing the typography, layout or mood that made it work.

  • Text replaced in place, not pasted on top

    The translation sits where the original text was, matching font weight, color, curvature and perspective. A painted shop sign still looks painted; a printed label still looks printed.

  • Packaging, signs, posters and screenshots

    Localize a product mockup for a new market, translate a street sign in a travel photo, or swap the language on a social post or ad creative. Same image, new audience.

  • Any language, one upload

    Type the language you want and the preset handles the rest. Run the same image several times to produce a set of localized versions for every market you sell in.

  • Part of 70+ AI tools

    Your Artlist credits work across the whole toolkit. Localize a video with AI dubbing, place your translated product in a scene with Product Lifestyle, or generate new visuals with Artlist's AI image generator.

Who uses the Image Translator?

Anyone who sells, posts or designs across languages and does not want to rebuild every visual by hand.

  • E-commerce and marketplace brands

    Localize packaging shots, infographics and listing images for each country you ship to, without a designer redrawing every label.

  • Marketers and social teams

    Translate ad creatives and social posts while keeping the layout approved by brand. One master visual, every market.

  • Creators and travelers

    Translate a meme, a comic panel or the sign in your travel photo and keep the original look, so the joke or the moment still lands.

Frequently asked questions

Upload the image to Artlist's Image Translator, type the language you want, and run it. The preset detects the text, translates it and renders it back into the picture with the original fonts, colors and layout. Download the translated image when it is ready.

Yes. The translated text is rendered in the same position with matching style, size and perspective, rather than overlaid as a caption. Very decorative or hand-drawn lettering is approximated as closely as possible.

You choose the target language by typing it, so most major languages work, including right-to-left scripts and non-Latin alphabets. Longer languages may need slightly smaller text to fit the original space, which the preset handles automatically.

Yes. Product packaging, labels, menus, posters and signage are the most common uses. Keep the text in focus and well lit in the source photo for the cleanest result.
