PanelLens

Translate photos and documents, and read one finished page

Take a photo, pick a document, or choose a picture from your library. PanelLens finds the text, translates it, and puts each translation back where the original text was, in the original layout.

Three ways to translate

Documents

Dense pages, forms, letters, study and work material. PDFs too: pick the pages and translate them in one go.

Camera

Menus, signs, notices and labels. Shoot one photo and read it in your language.

Photos

Screenshots, product shots and pictures already in your library.

Why it reads better

Many translators cut text into separate fragments and translate each one alone. PanelLens first finds the text blocks on your phone. Then, only with your permission, the AI translates each block while seeing the whole page: its layout, reading order and context. Sentences keep their flow and blocks stay in the right order.

Your photos, your rules

Free every day

On-device translation

Always free and unlimited, and uploads nothing. Each language needs a one-time download of about 50 MB.

AI translation

Up to 20 AI-translated pages a day on your phone, free, for as long as the day's free AI budget lasts.

Coins, only if you want more

After your free pages, coins pay for more AI pages. The app shows the price and your balance and asks you first. Coins are never taken for a page the AI could not translate, and they never lock anything that is free.

Languages

Reads Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean and 37 languages written in Latin letters, including English, Vietnamese, Spanish, French and German. Translates into English, Vietnamese, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Thai and more than 50 other languages.

Please use it fairly. PanelLens is a general translation tool for images you provide yourself. Only translate content you own or have the right to use.
