Translate Korean image to English
Photograph or upload anything written in Korean (restaurant menus, subway signs, cosmetic labels, delivery app screenshots, bus stop notices) and read it in English, line by line.
Point at the text
Snap a photo, upload a screenshot, or paste an image (Ctrl/⌘ + V).
Reading Korean from a photo
Korean is written in Hangul, occasionally mixed with Chinese characters (hanja) and English. PointTranslate reads it with a vision model that sees the whole image at once, so it keeps lines and blocks together and translates them in context rather than character by character.
Tips for Korean photos
- Cosmetics and skincare labels mix Korean with English ingredient names; the translator keeps the English parts as they are.
- Menus often list prices with 원 or just a number in thousands, e.g. 9.0 means 9,000 won.
- Stylised shop lettering is common. If a sign comes back empty, try a straighter, closer shot.
Translating a restaurant menu? The menu translator explains each dish, not just its name. Got a Korean PDF or Word file? Use the PDF or document translator.
Questions
How do I translate a Korean image to English?
Take or upload a photo above. The source is preset to Korean and the target to your browser's language (English by default). Every block of Korean text is read, translated and pinned to where it appears on the image.
Can it read Korean handwriting?
Neat handwriting usually works. Very cursive or stylised writing may come back partly empty, because the model skips text it cannot read reliably instead of guessing.
Does it work on Korean screenshots?
Yes, and screenshots are the easiest case because the text is perfectly sharp. On a computer you can paste a screenshot straight into the page with Ctrl or Cmd + V.
