Privacy, limits, and review notes

- Handwriting, low contrast photos, and blurry scans may need cleanup before OCR can read them well.
- The browser must have enough memory to assemble very large image sets.
FAQ
Common questions before translation
Does the image to PDF tool upload my photos?
No. The conversion runs in your browser. Files are not sent to PDFTranslate.org until you choose to upload the finished PDF to the translator.
Can I translate the PDF after creating it?
Yes. Download the generated PDF and upload it to PDF Translate. Use OCR mode for scans, screenshots, or photos where the text is part of the image.
Will the PDF text be selectable?
The created PDF contains your images as pages. Text usually becomes searchable or translatable only after an OCR step.
What image order will the PDF use?
The PDF follows the order of the files you select. Rename files first if your operating system sorts them differently than expected.
