Image Translation FAQ - Common Questions Answered
How do I translate text in an image online?
Upload your image (JPG, PNG, TIFF, or BMP) to ForgeFile, select your target language, and click Translate. Our OCR extracts the text and AI translates it - typically in under 10 seconds.
What image formats are supported?
ForgeFile supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, and WebP. High-resolution scans and camera photos are processed with equal accuracy.
Can ForgeFile translate handwritten text?
Yes. Our OCR engine recognizes many handwriting styles, though accuracy is highest with clear, legible handwriting. Printed text achieves the best results.
Can I export the translation as PDF or DOCX?
Yes. ForgeFile offers three output options - copyable text, searchable PDF, and editable DOCX. Choose the format that fits your workflow.
Does the OCR detect text automatically?
Yes. ForgeFile auto-detects text regions, language, and reading direction. No manual selection or cropping is needed.
Can I translate scanned documents with multiple pages?

Is my image data secure during translation?

What is the difference between image translation and PDF translation?
Image translation uses OCR to extract text from photos and scans. PDF translation works with the document's embedded text layer directly. For scanned PDFs (image-only), ForgeFile applies OCR automatically.
