Translate PDF questions

Everything you need to know about translating PDF files online.

This tool works on text-based PDFs where the text can be extracted directly. Scanned PDFs (image-only) cannot be translated directly — use our OCR PDF tool first to make the text extractable, then translate the resulting searchable PDF.

The translation process extracts text and rebuilds a clean, readable PDF. Complex formatting such as columns, tables, and embedded images are not preserved — the output is a plain text document. For formatting-critical translations, a professional translation tool is recommended.

Currently 15 languages are supported: Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Turkish, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese and Korean. More languages may be added in future updates.

Your PDF is processed on our secure servers and permanently deleted after 2 hours. The translation uses the Google Translate service via an anonymised API call. We do not store or log document content. For highly sensitive documents, consider a dedicated offline translation solution.
