- Open scanned PDFs and comic archives. Browse a scanned PDF or a zip, cbz, rar, or cbr archive just like a folder, at original quality. They open read-only, and translation mode, text extraction, read-aloud, and search all work on them. - New Home screen. Your recent folders, PDFs, archives, and the clipboard gallery are all in one place, and each one reopens where you left off. - Finder actions. Right-click an image or folder to compress it, extract its text, or translate it, and the result is saved next to the original. You can also use Open With ▸ DotPeek on images, PDFs, and archives. - Progressive translation. Each block of text is painted onto the page as soon as it's translated, so text-heavy pages start showing results right away instead of all at once at the end. - Better comic translation. Less text is missed on large pages. Side-by-side speech balloons are no longer merged, and vertical text follows the shape of its balloon. Outlined lettering keeps its colors, and Japanese → English text is larger and easier to read. - Faster duplicate finding. Large folders scan and group duplicates much faster. Scanned pages and images with little detail are also handled better.

• Translation mode (⇧⌘T) — read a whole folder with every page translated as it arrives, and pages you turn back to come back exactly as you left them. • Translations now painted into the page, matching the colours and layout of the text they replace. • Each folder remembers the image you were on and re-opens there. • Safer batch rename — a rejected name no longer puts a file at risk. • Improved page layout, source-language handling, and overall responsiveness.

• Batch WebP export with resizing and filename-conflict options. • Batch extraction of text, tables, CSV, and objects, with previews. • A new list-view preview pane and expanded keyboard navigation. • More accurate text recognition and translation layouts. • Improved source-language detection, sorting, filmstrip navigation, and overall reliability.

Search your images Press ⌘F to search a folder by the words inside your images — exact text or by meaning — or by appearance, including similar faces. Results are ordered by relevance and stay in the toolbar until you clear them. Folders are now analyzed automatically when opened (switch it off in Settings ▸ Storage). Translations you can talk back to Hover any translation plate for a small bar: hear it read aloud, correct the wording, or dismiss that plate alone. Edits carry through to Copy image and Export as WebP, which now bake the translations into the picture. Manga and comics DotPeek now reads vertical Japanese and Chinese, so a manga page translates the way it's laid out: furigana ignored, and each translation reading down the column it replaces. Extract's layout grid keeps vertical columns vertical too. On macOS 15 the system can't tell where vertical lines sit, so the page is still translated but reads in a panel beside the image; on macOS 26 it's drawn in place, over the original. Cleaner overlays Rebuilt plate placement: correct coordinate space, rotation that follows the source line, smarter grouping per speech bubble, and a filter that drops noise instead of translating it. Extract from the Lens Drag over part of an image to copy its text straight to the clipboard. Batch rename and delete Select multiple thumbnails or rows (⌘A for all) to rename them together or move them to the Trash. Four languages DotPeek now speaks English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese — following macOS or your choice in Settings. Fixes Settings no longer opens on its own or refuses to close. The filmstrip resets to the start when you switch folders and recenters on a Similar-thumbnail jump. Double-clicking a list row selects it before opening the hero view. Clipboard capture and the "no matches" state render correctly.
