## What is PanelLens?

PanelLens translates the text in your photos and documents — and gives you back a finished page, not a pile of fragments.

Take a photo, pick a document, or choose a picture from your library. PanelLens finds the text, translates it with AI that reads the whole page at once, and places each translation back where the original text was. You read a complete translated page, in the original layout.

THREE WAYS TO TRANSLATE
• Documents — dense pages, forms, letters, study and work material
• Camera — menus, signs, notices, labels: shoot one photo and read it in your language
• Photos — screenshots and pictures already in your library

WHY IT READS BETTER
Most translators cut text into isolated fragments and translate them blind. PanelLens first locates the text blocks on your device, then — only with your permission — the AI translates each block while seeing the entire page: layout, reading order and surrounding context. Pronouns stay consistent, sentences keep their flow, and blocks stay in the right order.

YOUR PHOTOS, YOUR RULES
• Before anything is sent, a consent screen shows your photo's full journey
• Our server processes photos in memory and never stores them; the AI provider (Anthropic) may keep them for up to 30 days under its terms
• The server returns translated text only; the finished page is built on your phone
• No account, no ads, no trackers

FREE EVERY DAY
Up to 20 AI-translated pages a day on your phone, free — for as long as the day's free AI budget lasts. On-device translation is always free and unlimited after a one-time language download (about 50 MB per language).

COINS, ONLY IF YOU WANT MORE
After your free pages, you can use coins for more AI pages: 5 coins per page (300 coins = 60 pages). The app shows the price and your balance and asks you first; coins are taken only when you tap Translate, never for a page the AI could not translate. Coins never lock anything that is free. Coins are kept with a recovery code, not an account — keep it to move your coins to a new phone.

LANGUAGES
Reads Chinese (Simplified & 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.

A NOTE ON USE
PanelLens is a general-purpose translation utility for images you provide yourself. Please only translate content you own or have the right to use.
