ReglyphTranslate French PDFs & documents to English
scanned or digital — without breaking the layout
French civil records, diplomas, and contracts — from France, Canada, and across francophone Africa — are commonly scanned for immigration, study, and business. Reglyph reads the French, removes it, and typesets the English back onto the original page so official formatting is preserved.
Working from paper? Scan and translate French to English — how to get a usable scan, and what happens to it.
Accents and official formatting
French relies on accents (é, è, ê, ç, à) that OCR can drop, changing the meaning of names and words. Reglyph preserves them and keeps the formal document structure that civil-status records depend on.

Common scanned French documents we translate
These are the French-language documents people most often translate to English — each keeps its original layout, seals, and tables.
How to translate a scanned French document
Drop in a scanned French PDF, a digital PDF, or a photo of the page. Image-only files are fine — no text layer needed.
OCR extracts the French text, then it's translated to English while the original text is erased from the page.
Get a clean PDF where tables, figures, stamps, and numbers sit exactly where they were.
French → English — frequently asked
Can I translate a scanned French diploma or transcript?
Yes. Diplomas and transcripts keep their seals, grids, and signature areas while the text becomes English.
Does it cover Canadian and African French?
Yes. French from any region is supported; the OCR and translation are not region-locked.
Are accented characters preserved?
Yes, French accents are handled correctly, which matters for names and place names on official documents.
Can I use this as a French PDF to English PDF converter?
Yes — a French PDF goes in and an English one comes out. It differs from a file converter in that the pages are OCR'd and re-typeset rather than re-saved, so an acte or a diploma keeps its grid, seals and signature blocks instead of arriving as loose text.
How does this compare to a French to English translation service?
An agency assigns a translator and quotes per page; Reglyph translates the scanned document automatically in minutes and keeps the original page layout. Many users translate instantly here first, then certify the draft only when the receiving office requires it.

Guides on translating scanned documents
Gemini's long context makes it the most patient of the chat assistants with a big PDF. It still hands you back a conversation, not a document.
