Local-first translation

The app is designed around a local-first workflow. Model weights are not bundled with the application. To use local AI translation, you need to install or select a compatible local model yourself after reviewing the model provider's terms and system requirements.

Translation quality and speed depend on your hardware, selected model, and source image quality. An NVIDIA GPU is recommended.

This app is intended for content you own, created yourself, or are authorized to process. You are responsible for ensuring that your input files and output usage comply with applicable law and rights-holder terms.
