Global product teams move faster with visual context

When text is embedded in screenshots, videos, and diagrams, normal copy and paste stops working.

Selected area Normal copy and paste stops working.

How it works

Three steps, no copy-paste

1

Select an area

Click the extension and drag over the visible part of the page you want to translate.

2

OCR detects text

The selected screenshot area is processed to extract readable text from images or video frames.

3

Get translation

Review the detected text, edit it if needed, and get a translated result in your target language.

Built for visual text

Translate text that normal page tools cannot select

Works on screenshots

Translate text embedded in images, product screenshots, slides, diagrams, and UI captures.

Useful on videos and PDFs

Pause a video or open a PDF in Chrome, then select the visible text area for OCR translation.

Powered by Qwen

OCR and translation are handled by a server-side model workflow. Users do not need to bring API keys.

Credits are predictable

One successful screenshot translation uses one credit. Failed OCR or translation requests do not consume credits.

Common use cases

For pages where text is visible but not selectable

Images in articles Video subtitles Course slides App screenshots Research figures PDF previews

Privacy first

Only the selected area is processed

Screen Translate processes screenshot content only after you actively select an area. The selected image area is sent to our server for OCR and translation. We do not claim full local processing, and we do not read pages when you are not using the extension.

Questions

What users usually ask first

What counts as one translation?

One successful screenshot translation request uses one credit. If OCR or translation fails, the credit is not consumed.

Do I need my own model API key?

No. The service calls the model through our backend. The extension does not ask users to enter model API keys.

Do you store my screenshots?

Our intended default is to process selected screenshots only to provide the translation and not retain them long-term. Operational logs may be kept for security, debugging, and billing integrity.
