Translate scanned PDFs with OCR you can review
Upload an image-only PDF, check the OCR, and preview the translation before committing to a full document. Built for scanned books, contracts, manuals, archives, and documents that ordinary PDF translators cannot read.
A translation workflow built around confidence
The value is not just a translated paragraph. You get a clear path from difficult scans to an output you can inspect, correct, and use.
Read the pages ordinary translators miss
OCR turns image-only PDFs, photographed pages, and low-quality scans into text before translation begins.
See what changed before you trust it
Compare source OCR, cleaned text, and translation page by page so errors do not hide inside a polished result.
Pay for the work you actually need
Start free, validate the quality first, and choose a one-off or recurring workflow when you are ready to process more pages.
Free OCR PDF translation made for scanned files
Most PDF translators assume selectable text. Scanned PDFs need OCR, cleanup, structure recovery, and translation quality checks. Start with a free, no-signup preview before you trust the output.
Free scanned PDF translator online
Start in the browser with a 100% free preview for scanned PDFs, image PDFs, camera scans, and old document scans.
No signup or account required
Try OCR translation first without registration, login, or a credit card. Upload a scanned file and check whether the OCR quality is good enough.
Image-only PDF support
Handle pages where every word is part of an image, not selectable PDF text.
OCR cleanup before AI translation
Reduce OCR noise so the translation model receives real paragraphs instead of broken lines.
