How the AI image translator works

The app prepares the image, extracts the visible source text, translates the reviewed text into the selected language, and displays both versions for comparison.

Image translation stages and checks
StageOutputWhat to verify
Image preparationAn orientation-corrected JPEG fitted within 3000 by 3000 pixelsSmall characters remain readable after rotation and resizing.
Text recognitionExtracted source textCharacters, names, numbers, line breaks, and reading order match the image.
Text translationText in the selected target languageMeaning, warnings, quantities, and ambiguity remain faithful to the verified source.
User reviewA result compared with both the image and OCR textAny high-impact field receives the required human review.

The complete image translation methodology documents the processing controls and known limits.

Check before you use the result

Verify factual fields and reading order first because a fluent translation can preserve an OCR mistake.

  • Compare names, prices, dates, quantities, and units with the original image.
  • Look for missed lines when the source has columns, chat bubbles, or vertical text.
  • Keep ambiguous wording ambiguous until context or a human reviewer resolves it.
  • Do not upload secrets, identity records, or confidential documents unless your policies permit it.

When one character could change the result, use the OCR confidence review method before copying the translation.

Supported image types

JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and TIFF files are accepted up to 12 MB. Images are rotated from their orientation metadata, limited to 40 megapixels, fitted within 3000 by 3000 pixels, and converted to a clean JPEG for OCR.

Languages and writing systems

The target-language menu controls the translated output language. OCR source recognition happens first and can still fail on unclear, vertical, handwritten, or mixed-script text.
