Image Morse Code Translator
This tool reads Morse written as dot/dash text in an image. It doesn’t (yet) decode a photo of flashing lights or sound waveforms.
Have a photo or screenshot with Morse code in it? Upload the image and this tool reads the dots and dashes and turns them into plain text — free, in your browser.
How the image translator works
Upload a picture that contains Morse code written as dots and dashes (for example a screenshot, a note, or a puzzle). The tool scans the image for the dot, dash, and gap characters, pulls them into an editable box, and translates them to text. Because photos vary in quality, you'll get the best results from a clear, high-contrast image where the dots and dashes are easy to see.
Fix and finish the translation
Image reading isn't always perfect, so the dots and dashes it finds appear in an editable box. Compare them against the Morse code chart, correct anything that looks wrong, and the translated text updates instantly. Then copy your result with one click.
What kinds of images work best
Typed Morse code — clear dots and dashes on a plain background — reads most reliably. Handwritten notes, low-resolution photos, or images where the code is part of a busy background are harder and may need manual cleanup. If your Morse is a visual signal rather than dot-dash characters (like a flashing light in a video), try the audio or flashing light tools instead.
Frequently asked questions
Can I decode Morse code from a picture? Yes. Upload the image and the tool extracts the dots and dashes and translates them to text, which you can then correct and copy.
What image formats are supported? Common formats like JPG, PNG, and WebP work. Clear, high-contrast images give the best results.
The result looks wrong — what can I do? Edit the dots and dashes in the box by hand; the translation updates as you fix it. A cleaner image also helps.
