For iPhone and iPad

Any page.
Your text.

Point your phone at a page, a sign, a receipt or a screen. PicText gets the words out, translates them on the picture itself, and answers your questions about it.

For iPhone and iPad, iOS 17 or later. No account, no sign up.

The PicText home screen with its five tools.

A printed report on screen with its words lifted off the page.

Five tools, one app

Everything you need to do with words on a picture or a PDF, in one place.

Extract Text

Get the text from any picture

Printed pages, screens, signs, receipts and handwriting. The words come out ready to copy, edit, share or keep.

Translate

Read it in your language

More than 100 languages, and the translation sits on the page itself, so you never lose your place.

A page translated in place, paragraph by paragraph.

AI Commands

Ask anything about a picture

Summarize a report, explain a form, pull out the details that matter.

PDF to Text

Get the text out of any PDF

A document you already have becomes words you can copy, search and keep.

PDF Scanner

Scan pages into a searchable PDF

A pile of paper becomes one clean document you can search through.

See it in action

Six looks at PicText on a phone.

Text lifted from a printed report, with a phrase held on the page.

Every result comes with more

What you get back is not a dead end. It is yours to use.

Yours to keep

Copy it, edit it, share it, or have it read out loud.

Details become actions

Numbers, emails, links, addresses and dates on the page turn into one tap actions.

Save it your way

Text, rich text, notes or a PDF. A translation also saves as a translated PDF, a side by side PDF, or a picture of the page.

Nothing gets lost

Your recent results stay on your phone, ready to open again.

Start from anywhere: share a picture from any app, a Control Center button, Siri, or a shortcut.

One credit to try it. Then PicText Pro.

PicText comes with one credit, so you can try it on any tool before you decide.

PicText Pro then unlocks every tool without limits, weekly or yearly, at a price shown in your own currency inside the app. Pro starts the moment you subscribe; there is no trial period.

Your privacy

Your picture is sent over a secure connection to be read, and PicText keeps no copy. Your results stay on your phone.
