Screenshot translation for Chrome
Translate any selected screen area in Chrome
Select part of a page, image, PDF, or video frame. Screen Translate detects the text with OCR and returns a clean translation through our server-side model workflow.
20 free screenshot translations included. No credit card required for the trial.
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
OCR detects text
The selected screenshot area is processed to extract readable text from images or video frames.
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.
Server-side model workflow
OCR and translation are handled by a server-side model workflow. Users do not need to bring API keys.
Usage is predictable
One successful screenshot OCR and translation counts as one translation. Failed OCR or translation requests do not count against the free trial.
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 counts as one translation. If OCR or translation fails, the request does not count against the free trial.
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?
Selected screenshots are processed to provide OCR and translation, then not retained as long-term account content. Operational logs may be kept for security, debugging, and billing integrity.
