From paused frame to translated frame

Grab the screenshot

Pause on the frame and save it as PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 30 MB. Japanese, Chinese and Korean shows are detected automatically.

Translate the whole frame

General mode picks up text anywhere in the image: signs, screens, handwritten notes and on-screen titles, not only speech.

Share or keep it

Download the translated frame, or open it in the editor to reword a line before you post it.

In-world text

Signs, screens and handwriting

  • Phone messages, chalkboards, posters and letters are read wherever they sit in the frame.
  • Hand-written notes and slanted shop signs are translated in place instead of in a caption underneath.
  • Over 130 target languages, so the frame can be read in yours.

Clean frames

The artwork stays intact

  • The Standard engine erases the Japanese and repaints the cel shading and background behind it.
  • For a stylised title card or logo, GPT Image 2.5 redraws the full frame so the new lettering matches the style, for 20 credits.
  • Want the frame with no text at all? The free-standing text remover clears it without adding a translation.
