AI PNG Translator: Instantly Translate Image Text

Smartcat is a global AI content platform used by enterprises to localize content across formats—including text, audio, video, and images. It combines adaptive AI with human expertise to deliver high-quality translations faster and at scale. This approach has been shown to deliver better results than AI- or human-only techniques. [1]

Smartcat AI Agents are specialized automation tools that perform specific translation tasks—like converting spoken content, extracting text from visuals, or localizing subtitles. 

AI-powered translation is increasingly the standard for enterprises, with the sector forecast to grow at over 23 percent annually through 2031. [2] Smartcat AI Agents are designed to be at the cutting edge of this trend and personalizable for your specific needs. They continuously learn from feedback to improve quality over time, helping you reduce cost, manual effort, and time to market while securing your data from competitors.

Yes—if your images contain text, they must be translated to ensure your message reaches all audiences equally. Visuals like infographics, product graphics, and training materials are more effective when localized, as they reflect cultural context and language preferences. 

Translating images improves personalization and accessibility, which are proven to increase engagement, trust, and conversion. [3] For global teams, it’s not just a nice-to-have—it’s essential for delivering consistent brand experiences across markets.

Smartcat’s Image Agent automatically detects and translates embedded text in image files (like PNGs), then rebuilds the image with the translated content in place—no need to redraw designs or reformat layouts manually.

Upload your PNG file to Smartcat, choose your target languages, and let Image Agent do the rest. It extracts the text, translates it, and reconstructs the image—preserving layout, formatting, and design quality. You can review or edit in the Editor before downloading.

Smartcat’s adaptive AI starts out with 95% quality as your agent is trained on your specific industry and use cases, and your existing glossaries and translation memory. Then, it continuously improves based on your edits and feedback to reach 99%+ accuracy. Human reviewers can be looped in as needed to add quality assurance.

Absolutely. Smartcat is built for enterprise scale and is capable of processing large libraries of PNG files across multiple languages quickly and accurately. It’s already trusted by global teams localizing content for millions of users.
