Screenshot translation

Translate the text. Keep the image.

Choose a target language and Snapok recognizes text locally, sends numbered text blocks to your default model, and paints the translation back where the original was. Then you edit it before sharing.

How to translate a screenshot

1Add a provider and default model in Settings → Models.
2Open a screenshot in the editor (⌘E).
3Choose AI Tools → Translate Image and pick a target language.
4Fix anything you want in the translation editor, then copy or save.

Bring your own model

Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible provider, with presets for OpenAI, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, MiniMax, and Z.AI. Keys live only in the macOS Keychain.

Text-only by default

Only recognized text is sent. Turn on visual context if your model supports images and you want help with OCR mistakes.

A real editor for the result

Adjust each text block’s translation, font size, colors, and box; compare with the original; undo or reset.

Your original stays put

The translated image is a separate library item. Copy or save it at the original pixel dimensions.
