Translate PNG, JPEG and WebP images and Keep the Layout
Text is replaced where it already sits rather than re-flowed into a new document, so pages, columns, tables and images stay where the author put them.
What Survives When You Translate PNG, JPEG and WebP images
- Text is read by OCR at two scales and the results are merged, because recall is not monotonic in resolution and each pass finds lines the other drops.
- The background under replaced text is repaired texture-aware, so a photograph or a gradient behind a caption is not flattened into a grey rectangle.
- Solid graphics under a label — an arrow, a rule, a filled shape — are rebuilt rather than erased along with the text.
- Where OCR cannot read a region, the original pixels stay: an untranslated line, never an invented one.

What This Does Not Do
- Scanned pages and images are best-effort: on dense or degraded scans a share of lines is never extracted at all. Those lines stay in the source language on the page rather than being guessed at, and the page is charged in full whatever OCR reads off it. We do not promise a scan comes back 100% translated. Born-digital pages carry no such caveat.
- Handwriting-style Nastaliq — Urdu in particular — is not read reliably by any OCR we have tested. Those files fail with an explicit error instead of returning something that merely looks translated.
- Anything the verify stage cannot confirm falls back to the source text, visible and untranslated. A file that looks finished but is not is the one outcome we will not ship.
Questions
- Do the Layout Survive Translating a PNG, JPEG and WebP images?
- Text is replaced where it already sits rather than re-flowed into a new document, so pages, columns, tables and images stay where the author put them.
- What happens to my file afterwards?
- Uploaded and generated files are automatically deleted within 24 hours, and are never used to train a model.

No card and no per-file character minimum. If a segment cannot be translated confidently you will see it fall back, rather than a green tick over a guess.
