# Document translator comparisons These document translator comparisons set LoreAI next to DeepL, Google Translate, ChatGPT and the other tools people use for PDFs, scans and photos. Each one looks at what the tool does with a scanned page, what you download and what it costs, from the vendor's own pages. ## All comparisons ### Comparisons - [Best certified translation services](https://www.loreai.org/compare/best-certified-translation-services): RushTranslate, Day Translations, ProTranslate and the ATA directory compared on price per page, turnaround and layout. LoreAI is not one, and the page says why. - [Best document translators in 2026](https://www.loreai.org/compare/best-document-translator): DeepL, Google Translate, LoreAI, Microsoft Word and RushTranslate ranked for documents, with prices from each vendor's own page and what each one does badly. - [Best image translators in 2026](https://www.loreai.org/compare/best-image-translator): Google Translate, Apple Translate, DeepL, LoreAI and Kapwing ranked for translating text in photos, with prices from their own pages and each one's weak spot. - [ChatGPT for document translation](https://www.loreai.org/compare/chatgpt-translate-document): ChatGPT can translate a document you attach, but research found language models sometimes add text the source never had. Its limits and a Word file option. - [DeepL document translation](https://www.loreai.org/compare/deepl-document-translation): DeepL document translation by plan: files a month, size limits, scanned PDFs and images, and the free version's personal data rule.

Its file limit, what happens to a scanned PDF, how long it keeps uploads, and when LoreAI fits. ## Which comparison answers your question? - **Your PDF is a scan**: Start with [Google Translate and scanned PDFs](https://www.loreai.org/compare/google-translate-pdf) or [DeepL document translation](https://www.loreai.org/compare/deepl-document-translation). Both explain what happens to text that is a picture on the page. - **You want a shortlist**: The [best document translators](https://www.loreai.org/compare/best-document-translator) and the [best image translators](https://www.loreai.org/compare/best-image-translator) rank the common tools, with each one's weak spot. - **The file is a photo**: See the [Google Lens alternative for documents](https://www.loreai.org/compare/google-lens-alternative) and the [DeepL image translator](https://www.loreai.org/compare/deepl-image-translator) page. - **You already use a tool**: Read the page on it: [DeepL vs Google Translate](https://www.loreai.org/compare/deepl-vs-google-translate), [ChatGPT](https://www.loreai.org/compare/chatgpt-translate-document), [DocTranslator](https://www.loreai.org/compare/doctranslator), [Online Doc Translator](https://www.loreai.org/compare/onlinedoctranslator), [O.Translator](https://www.loreai.org/compare/otranslator) or [Doclingo](https://www.loreai.org/compare/doclingo). - **An office wants a signed translation**: The [certified translation services](https://www.loreai.org/compare/best-certified-translation-services) page covers the agencies. LoreAI is not one of them. ## How the comparisons are written Each page quotes the other tool's own help, pricing or privacy page and says when it was checked. It also says where the other tool is the better pick, for example for a sign or a menu you only need to read once.
