Our own pipeline, not one AI call

Most image translators make one AI call and ship whatever comes out. Proxylang runs every image through its own pipeline, and it handles the extra-long product pages that online stores across Asia use.

What it costs

Most images cost 1 credit per language, 2 when the image is over 2000px on a side. Very tall images are cut into sections, and each section with text costs 1 credit (2 if over 2000px). Images with no text cost nothing. Get started →

Image Translation

Translate text inside images

Every paid plan comes with free image translations, granted once per account. These packs are for when you need more. Each image is translated once and cached forever. No monthly commitment. Packs are valid for 12 months from purchase.

Tag data-pl-translate-image on any <img> on your site. No other setup required.

Each image, each target language consumes one quota unit. Translating an image into Korean uses 1 quota. Translating the same image into Japanese uses another. Every language version caches permanently after its first translation, so repeat visits to that language are free.
Images longer than 2000px on a side use 2. Long images, like product detail pages, are cut into sections, and each section with text uses 1 (2 if over 2000px). The Live Editor shows the exact number before anything is translated.

Style-preserving

Fonts, colors, and layout stay intact. Only the text changes.

Translated once per language

Each language version caches forever. Same image + same language on repeat visits costs nothing.

Valid for 12 months

Each pack stays usable for 12 months from purchase. No monthly commitment.
