Language notes
What to check in English images
English is the most common target for images made in other languages. It is usually more compact than French, German or Spanish source text, so translated labels tend to fit in the original space.
- Script
- Latin
- Direction
- Left to right
US or UK conventions
Spelling (color or colour), date order (10/07 or 07/10) and vocabulary differ between US and UK English. Pick the convention of the market where the image will run.
Headline capitalization
US marketing copy often sets headlines in title case, while UK copy leans toward sentence case. Keep one style across a set of images.
Units and measurements
Product images for the US usually show inches, pounds and Fahrenheit, while most other English-speaking markets use metric units.

FAQ
Translating images to English: frequently asked questions
What to know before you upload your first image.
Can I translate a photo to English for free?
Yes. The free Basic plan includes 3 credits per month and one credit translates one image. Basic is for personal use; commercial use requires the Pro plan or above.
Which languages can I translate into English?
Choose the source among French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese, or keep auto-detect for other languages such as Arabic or Russian. Review the result as you would any machine translation.
How is this different from Google Translate or Lens?
Google Translate and Google Lens are quick ways to read foreign text. TranslateMyImage generates a new image with the English text in place of the original, which you can download to share, print or publish.
What image formats can I upload?
JPG, PNG or WebP images up to 10 MB, one image per translation.
Can the English translator preserve my layout?
The generated result is designed to follow the source composition, typography and hierarchy. Review the output because results can vary with image quality, fonts and complex layouts.
Will the English result use US or UK spelling?
The target is simply English. Review spellings such as color or colour, date order and units, and adjust them to the market where the image will be published.
