Batch image translator: translate up to 10 images per run
Batch translation is for the moment you have more than a handful of images to translate: a product catalog, an ad campaign for five markets, the figures of a manual, a comic chapter. On paid plans, the Batch Translation page of the dashboard takes up to 10 images per run, translates each one into the languages you choose for it, and gives you every result in one ZIP file. Below: exactly how it works, how many credits a run uses and how to review the output efficiently.
In short
- Paid plans (Pro, Premium, Enterprise): up to 10 images per run, several target languages per image, up to 50 output images per run, ZIP download, past runs in the batch history.
- One credit per output image: 10 images × 5 languages = 50 outputs = 50 credits.
- Settings are shared by the whole run (source language, quality, content type, AI instruction), so group similar images together.
Single upload vs batch translation
The single-image translator is the quickest way to test how one type of image comes out. Batch translation repeats that work across a set:
| Web uploader | Batch Translation (dashboard) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who can use it | Everyone; 2 translations per 24 hours without an account | Paid plans |
| Images | 1 per translation | Up to 10 per run, 10 MB each |
| Target languages | 1 per translation | Several per image, chosen image by image |
| Outputs | 1 | Up to 50 per run |
| Settings | Per translation | Shared by every output in the run |
| Download | The translated image | Each image, or everything as a ZIP |
How a run works
- Open Batch Translation in the dashboard and add up to 10 images.
- Choose the languages for each image under "Customize this image", or apply one set of languages to all images. A product photo might need Spanish, French and German; a US-only promo only Spanish.
- Set the shared settings: source language (or auto-detect), quality (Basic or Ultra), content type (Default mode, Marketing, Manga/Comics or Technical Documentation) and, optionally, an instruction for the AI, applied to every image.
- Run the batch and follow the status of each image and language.
- Download each result, or all of them as a ZIP. Past runs are listed in the batch history.
How many credits a batch uses
One credit per output image, in Basic or Ultra quality. An output that fails does not use a credit: the credit is deducted only once the translated image has been generated. Outputs also fail once your credits run out, so check your balance before a large run. A few typical runs:
| Run | Outputs | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| 10 product photos into Spanish | 10 × 1 = 10 | 10 |
| 10 product photos into Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese | 10 × 5 = 50 | 50 |
| 4 ad visuals in English into the 8 other languages | 4 × 8 = 32 | 32 |
| 7 banners in French into the 8 other languages | 7 × 8 = 56, above the 50-output limit | Split into two runs: 56 credits |
| A 20-page comic chapter into English | 20 × 1 = 20 | Two runs of 10 pages: 20 credits |
For scale: Pro includes 100 credits a month and Premium 300. Pay-as-you-go packs add credits, for example 30 credits for $10 or 100 credits for $20 (see pricing). A Pro month therefore covers two full 50-output runs.
Prepare the batch
- One content type per run. Settings are shared, so put product photos (Default mode or Marketing) in one run and manual figures (Technical Documentation) in another.
- One source language per run when you can. A source language you pick is given to the AI for every image in the run. If the images are in different languages, split them, or test auto-detect on a small run first.
- Name files clearly before uploading (sku-1042-front.jpg, manual-fig-07.png): each output is named after its source file plus the language, for example sku-1042-front-spanish.jpg, so you can match every output to its source.
- Use consistent crops and sizes for images that will sit side by side in a listing or a gallery.
- Pick languages per image. Not every image needs every language, and every unnecessary output costs a credit.
- Write the glossary once. On paid plans, the AI instruction (up to 1,000 characters) applies to the whole run, for example: "Keep product names and SKU codes unchanged. Translate 'Free shipping' as 'Envío gratis'."
Review a batch by risk
Fifty generated images take time to review. Spend it where an error costs the most:
| Risk | Typical content | How to review |
|---|---|---|
| High | Prices, specifications, dimensions, ingredients, legal or safety text | Compare every value with the original, in every language |
| Medium | Headlines, calls to action, product names | Read each one; ask a native speaker to check your main markets |
| Low | Decorative text, background signs | Spot-check a sample |
Two habits help. Review language by language rather than image by image: inconsistent terms are easier to see when all the Spanish outputs are side by side. And check the first image in every language before reviewing the rest: if a term is wrong everywhere, fix the instruction and rerun the affected images (a rerun uses credits again) rather than correcting 50 files by hand.
Who uses batch translation
- E-commerce teams translating listing images for several marketplaces: see Amazon product images and Shopify product images.
- Importers and dropshippers turning a supplier's product images into their store's language: see Chinese supplier images.
- Marketers producing campaign variants per market: see ad visuals.
- Technical writers translating every figure of a manual with the Technical Documentation mode.
- Comic creators translating a chapter page by page: see comic pages.
When the dashboard is not enough
Above a few runs a week, or when images come from a system rather than a person, use the image translation API: one request per image and target language, one credit per completed translation, called from your own scripts.
Limits
- 10 images and 50 outputs per run; images up to 10 MB each.
- 9 target languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. The source language menu offers the same 9, plus Auto-detect.
- Images only: PDF, Word and PowerPoint files are not accepted. Export pages or slides as images first.
- Every output is a generated image. Digits, small text and logos can change, which is why the review step is not optional.
Test one image before you run a batch
Translate a representative image in the web uploader, check the result, then move to batch translation on a paid plan.
Frequently asked questions
Can Google Translate translate multiple images at once?
Google's help page for the Images tab of the Google Translate website describes uploading an image and downloading its translation; it does not describe a multi-image upload. On TranslateMyImage, paid plans include batch translation of up to 10 images per run.
How many images can I translate at once?
Up to 10 images per run, with a maximum of 50 output images per run (for example 10 images into 5 languages). Larger sets are split into several runs, or sent through the API.
How many credits does a batch use?
One credit per output image, in Basic or Ultra quality. Ten images translated into five languages produce 50 images and use 50 credits. An output that fails does not use a credit. Choosing only the languages each image really needs is the easiest way to save credits.
Is batch translation available on the free plan?
No. Batch translation is part of the paid plans (Pro, Premium and Enterprise). On the free Basic plan and without an account, images are translated one at a time in the web uploader.
Can each image in a batch have different settings?
Each image gets its own list of target languages. The source language, quality, content type and AI instruction are shared by every output in the run, so put images that need different settings in separate runs.
