# Translating Text Inside Images: A Practical Note for Localization Work
Localization usually stops at the text layer, but plenty of content lives inside images: infographics, banners, screenshots with interface labels. Sending every one back to design is a bottleneck that slows a whole release.
[Translate words that appear inside pictures](https://rewordsai.app/) is an online tool that changes the text inside an image while trying to keep the original look intact. It is not a full design suite, and it is not intended for IDs, receipts, or official documents.
## What the tool does
- **Runs in the browser**: no software installation is needed; it is an online tool rather than a desktop app.
- **Style matching**: the AI makes a best-effort match of the original font, color, and background so edits blend in.
- **Resolution options**: edits are available at 1K, 2K, and 4K, with credit cost scaling by resolution.
- **Clean removal**: leave the replacement field empty to remove text and fill the area with the surrounding background.
- **Edit text in place**: select text inside a PNG, JPG, or WebP image and type replacement words.
## Getting started
1. Open the editor and upload your image (PNG, JPG, or WebP). A sharp, well-lit source gives the AI more to work with.
2. Select the text you want to change, keeping the selection tight around the words.
3. Type the new wording, or leave it blank to remove the text entirely.
4. Review the preview at full size and download the edited image once it looks right.
## When this helps
- Translating banner copy for a new market launch
- Converting labels on an infographic into another language
- Checking how a translated phrase fits the available space
Results are best-effort rather than guaranteed. Clear, flat text on a simple background usually comes out cleanly, while tiny lettering, heavy textures, or decorative scripts may need a second try or a slightly different selection.
## Before you start
Machine suggestions are a starting point. Have a fluent reviewer check the final wording, especially for marketing copy. For a closer look at one use case, see the [translating text inside an image](https://rewordsai.app/translate-text-in-image). For localization teams, the main gain is time: small text changes stop being a reason to rebuild an image from scratch.
