HOW IT WORKS
How to Translate Screenshots in 4 Simple Steps
No clunky overlays or buggy background software. Just fast, clean, in-image translation.
- 01
1. Upload your screenshot
Take a quick screenshot on your phone or computer, then drop the image file right into your browser.
- 02
2. Get free AI translations
Our AI spots the painted-in text and suggests natural translations across dozens of languages at no cost.
- 03
3. Edit or lock lines
Fine-tune any phrasing you want to customize, or lock logos, UI icons, and brand names so they stay untouched.
- 04
4. Generate repainted text
Use credits to wipe the original text and paint your translations back into the image with best-effort styling.
WHAT IT DOES
What is this screenshot translator?
Most translation tools force you to copy raw text out of an image into a messy sidebar. This screenshot translator works differently: it detects words embedded in your captures, translates them, and paints the translated words back into the exact same spots.
Screenshot translator suggests draft phrasing in the Translate tab that you can edit or lock, though these machine translations are not certified legal or official text. Whether you upload captures to translate text in image files or use our utility to ocr one image at a time, you maintain direct oversight over every line. You can easily coordinate visuals alongside a shopify image translator, prepare marketing with a translate ad image tool, or handle localized documents via a spanish to english image translator or russian to english image translator before spending credits on final generation.

WHERE IT HELPS
Common Localization Scenarios
Popular ways people use our screen translator every day:
Software UI & System Error Alerts
Translate confusing error prompts, overseas SaaS dashboards, and localized settings screens.
Foreign Game Menus & Dialogue
Figure out inventory screens, skill trees, and quest dialogs from imported PC and mobile games.
Social Media Posts & Infographics
Translate screenshots of foreign news feeds, chat messages, and web graphics while keeping them shareable.
WHY REWORDS
Why translate screenshots directly in the image?
When you're reading a foreign software interface, game menu, or social graphic, visual layout tells half the story.
- Keeps full visual context: Read dialogs, labels, and diagrams right where they belong instead of matching loose text to a picture.
- Free previews and total control: See every AI suggestion for free. You can tweak lines, write your own phrasing, or lock elements before generating.
- Best-effort style matching: We automatically blend background colors and match font styles so the finished graphic looks cohesive.

WHY THIS APPROACH
Better than pointing your phone at a monitor
Crisp digital captures deserve a real UI translator, not an unstable camera viewfinder.
Sharp screenshots, zero glare
No moiré patterns, screen reflections, or hand tremor. Upload pure digital captures and get back clear, crisp text painted right where it belongs.
Edit text to fit compact buttons
UI buttons have tight bounds. If a translated phrase looks too long, edit it down to a concise label, lock it, and render the exact wording you want.
Protect URLs, code, and variables
Screenshot translator lets you lock API endpoints, stack traces, and variable names with a single click so technical identifiers don't get accidentally translated.
WORKFLOWS
Built for software captures, game menus, and UI mockups
How builders and testers translate digital interfaces cleanly.
“When foreign enterprise apps throw cryptic error popups, I grab a screenshot and upload it here. Having the translated text right on the buttons makes troubleshooting painless.”
“Live translation camera apps always glare against monitor screens. Dropping a clean PNG screenshot here gives me pristine, crisp translated UI.”
“I play region-locked RPGs. Screenshot translator lets me paste the screenshot, lock the stat numbers, and read everything in plain text when I hit complicated skill trees or crafting menus.”
“We do competitive UI teardowns of foreign fintech apps. Being able to lock the currency codes and keep the balance figures intact is fantastic.”
“I love that I can tweak short button copy. If a translation overflows a tiny button, I edit it to a shorter synonym, lock it, and then render.”
“Suggest caught all the tiny dark-mode labels on our foreign admin panel. Super handy to check before rendering the final guide.”
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a live screen overlay or browser extension?
No. ReWords AI works directly on still screenshot image files. Take a screen capture, drop it in, and we paint the translated text directly onto the image so you can save or share it.
Is this a live screen translator that sits over my desktop?
No. It is not an invasive desktop overlay or real-time screen recorder. You simply capture a screenshot using your device's normal screenshot tool and upload the image file into your browser.
Does it cost anything to view translation suggestions?
Not at all. Detecting text and previewing AI translation suggestions is completely free. You only spend credits when you decide to generate the final repainted image.
Do I have to manually paste in my own translations?
No. The AI provides automatic translation suggestions right away. Screenshot translator lets you accept them as-is, edit specific words, type your own translation from scratch, or lock elements you don't want translated.
How do I prevent code snippets or URLs from being translated?
Click Lock on any detected line containing code, system paths, or URLs. Locked items stay in their exact original form on the output image.
What image formats can I upload?
You can upload standard screenshot formats including PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WEBP directly from desktop or mobile devices.
Can I lock text boxes that I want to keep in the original language?
Yes. Screenshot translator leaves brand names, usernames, code snippets, or logos you want to preserve untouched if you simply click to lock them.
When are credits deducted from my account?
Credits are only deducted when you click generate to paint the translated text into the image. Uploading images, running OCR, and editing text suggestions use zero credits.
