When to use this tutorial
Use image translation when text inside a product image, comic, screenshot, poster, thumbnail, or ad creative must be translated while preserving the visual layout. Use image text removal when the source text should disappear before manual design or relayout.
Translate product claims, comparison labels, size notes, feature callouts, and marketplace visuals.
Translate speech bubbles, banners, captions, memes, UI screenshots, thumbnails, and ad copy.
Translate or remove image text
Use clear source images. Text should be readable enough for OCR and not heavily distorted.
Pick translation when you need a localized image, or removal when a designer will add new text later.
Check OCR detection, translated text length, line breaks, and whether the layout still feels natural.
Download the localized image or cleaned image once the task is ready.
Quality review checklist
- Check that every important text area was detected by OCR.
- Confirm translated copy fits inside the original visual space.
- Review numbers, discount labels, product names, brand terms, and legal claims.
- Inspect backgrounds around removed text for obvious artifacts.
- Keep a source copy so designers can compare before and after images.
Scale image localization
For a small set, use the web tool and Works download. For ecommerce catalogs, comics, customer portals, or recurring creative operations, activate API access and use the image translation API after validating quality manually.
