FAQs about chatting with images using AI.
Quick answers about supported image types, extraction, translation, prompts, and multi-image workflows.
PDFelement Chat With Image supports JPG, JPEG, and PNG images. Upload an image, then ask AI to extract text, describe what is shown, summarize key details, or translate visible text.
Yes. Use AI Image to Text to pull visible text from an uploaded image. If you have multiple scanned pages, you can also combine them into a PDF and run OCR so the content becomes searchable and editable before continuing with other AI tools.
Yes. You can ask for a quick description, a detailed explanation, or the main takeaways from a visual. For charts and graphs, use a focused prompt such as “Explain what this chart shows and list the main takeaways.”
Yes. Chat With Image can detect visible text and help translate it into another language. This is useful for signs, menus, brochures, screenshots, and other image-based content that you do not want to retype manually.
Start with a specific action. For example: “Extract all readable text,” “Describe this image in detail,” “Explain this chart,” “Summarize the key information,” or “Detect the language and translate the text into English.” Then ask follow-up questions about the part that matters most.
If the images belong to one task, combine them into a PDF first. Run OCR when needed, then continue with PDFelement AI to summarize, translate, or analyze the combined content in a more structured workflow.

Extract key information from charts and visual data faster
The image extraction feature is a lifesaver! I can upload charts and graphs from my research, and the AI quickly pulls out key data points for me. It saves so much time compared to manually transcribing everything, making my workflow so much more efficient!
