Document Image Translator

Translate scanned documents while keeping the layout

When a document is trapped inside an image, copying text is not enough. PicTranslate recognizes document text, translates it and redraws the translated content back into the original page structure.

Document image workflow

01

Upload the page image

Use a clear scan or photo. Straight pages with readable text produce the strongest OCR results.

02

Translate with layout context

The translation is generated with surrounding labels, headings and section structure in mind.

03

Download the translated page

Use the translated image for review, internal sharing or as a starting point for a final document workflow.

Document translation benefits

Preserves page structure

Headings, labels, tables and paragraph blocks stay visually close to the source image.

Handles dense text areas

Document mode is useful for images with more text than ordinary marketing graphics.

Works before OCR cleanup

You can translate a photographed page before investing time in manual transcription.

Does it replace certified document translation?

No. It is useful for reading, review and workflow acceleration, but legal or certified documents should be handled by qualified professionals.

What image quality works best?

Use high-resolution scans or well-lit photos with minimal skew, blur and shadows.
