Reglyph is an AI-powered web app that translates scanned and image-only PDFs without breaking their layout. Where ordinary translators give you back a wall of reflowed text, Reglyph rebuilds the page so the result looks like the original document — columns, tables, figures, official stamps, signature lines, and numbers all stay exactly where they were. It's built for the documents people actually need translated: certificates, transcripts, contracts, technical manuals, and academic papers.

How it works

Upload a scanned or photographed PDF and choose your target language. Behind the scenes, Reglyph runs an OCR pass to read the page, an inpainting step that cleanly erases the original text from the image, machine translation of the recognized content, and an automatic re-typesetting step that places the translated text back into the original positions. The output is a clean, translated PDF that mirrors the source document — ready to read, share, or print.

Who it's for

Reglyph is ideal for anyone dealing with official or formatted documents that arrive as scans or photos: immigrants and students translating birth/marriage certificates, transcripts, and diplomas for applications; businesses translating contracts, invoices, and reports; researchers translating foreign-language papers; and engineers working through technical manuals and datasheets. Because it keeps the original formatting, the translated document stays usable in contexts where layout matters — not just a rough text dump.

Pricing

Reglyph runs on a freemium model — every new user gets 5 pages free, no credit card required. Paid plans add capacity for heavier use:

Starter — $5: 10 pages that never expire. Pay only for what you need.
Monthly — $15: 120 pages every month, reset each billing cycle.
Pro — $39: 700 pages every month, with unused pages rolling over (up to 2,100). Pages are pages — there's no surcharge for scanned files.

Why people use it

The core benefit is layout integrity. Translating a scanned document the normal way means losing its structure and then rebuilding it by hand. Reglyph removes that work — you get an accurate translation that already looks like the original, saving time and keeping official documents presentable across languages.
