Upload a PDF file of any length and in any language. Our tool processes the entire document and delivers a complete translation while keeping everything in its original layout. No lost pages, no cut-off sections, no "too large to process" warnings.
Other translators often fail on large documents or make you split them into multiple parts. Not here. Whether it's a short five-page contract or a three-hundred-page research paper, you get the entire translation in one piece.

See How Our PDF Translator Actually Works for You
You drop in a PDF file. Our AI scans the entire PDF, grabs what's important, and gives you a tight summary in seconds. No extra words and no waste. You get just the stuff you came for.
Whether it's a 400-page manual or a short guide, you get the core insights without pushing through boring parts, repeated points, or useless background. That's time you're keeping for yourself.
Access Over 100 Languages Instantly
You don't need to chase down a different translator for every file. Our system supports more than one hundred languages, so whether you're working with Spanish legal contracts or Chinese research papers, we've got you covered.
Our tool isn't just a basic translator. It understands context, industry-specific terms, and subtle phrasing that make translations useful and professional. So, you receive documents that people can actually understand and trust.
Your Layout Stays Untouched, Period
Most other PDF translators will scramble your formatting into something unreadable. Tables turn into nonsense. Charts vanish completely. Equations break apart. And you end up spending hours fixing the file instead of working with it.
But with our tool, your translated PDF looks exactly like the original. Charts remain sharp. Tables stay properly aligned. And all other elements appear exactly where they should. You won't be forced to rebuild your PDF document from scratch because the translator couldn't handle special layouts.
Your Documents Stay Private and Protected
Uploading confidential documents to random translation tools is usually risky. Many services keep your files, analyze them, or even sell the data for profit.
We do the opposite. Your PDFs are encrypted with TLS from the moment they reach our servers. They stay private while being processed, then they're deleted automatically. We meet ISO/IEC and GDPR compliance---the same strict standards trusted by hospitals and banks. Your contracts, research papers, and sensitive information remain private, not someone else's business.
Completely Free with No Hidden Limits
Let's be clear: this service is actually free. No sudden paywalls after your first file. No ads scattered across the screen. No restrictions that stop you from translating more than a handful of pages. Translate as many PDFs as you want, whenever you want, without reaching for your wallet.
Normally "free" means you're giving something up. Not here. You get the same translation engine, the same formatting preservation, and the same processing speed no matter how many files you upload. Whether it's one document or a hundred, you never sacrifice quality. The only difference is you're not paying for it.
What Is Our AI PDF Translator?
A PDF translator is an AI-powered tool that can convert your PDF documents from one language to another while preserving the original design, structure, and layout. There's no need to install software, manually copy text, or reformat anything.
All you do is upload your file, select the target language, and let the AI process every word, sentence, and section. Within moments you receive a fully translated document that looks and reads like a professional file.
Here's what makes our PDF translator different: it processes files without any page limits, precisely preserves even the most complex layouts, and accurately translates across more than 100 languages. Most tools either restrict file sizes, break formatting, or deliver rough translations that require heavy editing. We handle all three challenges without compromise.
Why Accurate PDF Translation Actually Matters
Most translation tools treat PDFs like plain text. They strip out the words, process them, and paste the results into a generic template. All the careful formatting you worked on? Gone. Tables that once looked perfect? Scrambled. Charts, diagrams, and references? Often missing completely.
That's not translation---it's destruction disguised as language conversion. True translation protects meaning, context, and presentation together. Readers need to understand a translated document as clearly as they would the original.
When formatting falls apart, comprehension is lost. When sentences sound robotic, professionalism suffers. If you're serious about using your translated documents, accuracy and formatting preservation are both non-negotiable.
How to Translate Your PDF Online for Free
The entire process takes less than a minute. If you can upload a file and click a button, you already know how to do it. Here's the step-by-step method:
- Step 1: Locate your PDF on your computer or device. It doesn't matter how long it is, what source language it's in, or how complex it looks.
- Step 2: Upload the file directly to our PDF translator page by dragging it into the drop zone or selecting it manually. You can also drop files from your browser or other file types like DOCX, PPT, PPTX, TXT, JPG, PNG, or XML if needed.
- Step 3: Choose your target language from the menu. With options including English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, and over 100 more, you'll find what you need.
- Step 4: Press the "Translate" button. The AI instantly begins analyzing text and formatting at the same time.
- Step 5: Wait just a few seconds while the translation completes. Large PDF files may take slightly more time, but even extensive documents finish quickly.
- Step 6: Download the completed translation. It's ready to use immediately, with the original formatting intact and text fully polished.
- Step 7: Need more? Upload another file and repeat. There are no limits on how many documents you can translate.
That's all it takes. In less than a minute you save yourself hours of work or the cost of hiring professional translators. Now multiply that by every file you need to handle this month.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this handle technical documents with specialized terminology?
Yes, and it does it well. The AI recognizes industry-specific terms across fields like medicine, law, engineering, and finance. It doesn't just translate words randomly but understands context to choose the right terminology for your field.
Academic papers with complex concepts? Legal contracts with precise language requirements? Technical manuals loaded with jargon? All handled accurately without turning specialized terms into gibberish. That said, extremely niche terminology might occasionally need a quick review, but the baseline accuracy is solid enough for professional use straight out of the gate.
What happens to my files after translation?
Your PDFs get automatically deleted from our servers shortly after translation completes. We're not building a library of your documents, mining them for data, or keeping them around for any reason whatsoever.
The process works like this:
- Immediate Encryption: Your file gets encrypted with TLS the moment it uploads, so nobody can intercept or access it during processing.
- Temporary Storage: The document lives on our servers only long enough to complete the translation, usually just a few seconds to a couple minutes depending on size.
- Automatic Deletion: Once you download your translated PDF, the original and translated versions are purged from our system completely within hours.
- No Data Mining: We don't analyze your content for advertising, don't train AI models on your documents, and don't share anything with third parties ever.
Your confidential business documents, personal files, and sensitive materials stay exactly that. Confidential. The whole operation meets ISO/IEC and GDPR compliance standards, same protections major corporations require for their data.
Is there a limit on PDF file size or page count?
No artificial caps here. Upload PDFs up to 200MB, which covers pretty much any document you'd reasonably need to translate. That's enough for hundreds of pages with images, charts, and complex formatting included.
Whether you're translating a 2-page memo or a 400-page technical manual, the tool handles it the same way. No "upgrade to Pro for longer documents" schemes, no forcing you to split large files into chunks and reassemble them later. Just upload and translate, regardless of size.
Does it work with scanned PDFs or just text-based ones?
Both work fine. Text-based PDFs where you can select and copy text? Those translate instantly with perfect accuracy. Scanned PDFs that are essentially images? The AI extracts the text first using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, then translates it while maintaining the visual layout.
Obviously, text-based PDFs give you the cleanest results since there's no interpretation step. But scanned documents still come through accurately enough for professional use. The only real limitation is image quality when you translate scanned PDFs. If your scan is blurry or low resolution, that affects OCR accuracy, which then affects translation quality. Start with a decent scan and you're golden.
How accurate is the translation compared to human translators?
Very accurate for most purposes, though not identical to a professional human translator working in their native language pair. Unlike Google Translate, the AI excels at straightforward content where meaning is clear and context is obvious. Business documents, academic papers, technical manuals, and general correspondence all translate with high accuracy.
Here's the reality check:
- Everyday Documents: Letters, reports, articles, and standard business content translate at near-human quality. Most readers won't spot the difference.
- Technical Content: Industry terminology and specialized language come through accurately as long as the terms are reasonably common in that field.
- Nuanced Writing: Poetry, marketing copy with wordplay, or content relying heavily on cultural references might lose some subtlety compared to an expert human translator.
- Legal Precision: While legal documents translate accurately in terms of meaning, you'd still want a legal professional reviewing anything used in official proceedings.
For understanding content, sharing information across teams, or working with international documents, the quality is absolutely professional. For situations where every word choice carries legal weight or cultural subtlety matters enormously, human review adds extra confidence.
Can I translate PDFs into multiple languages at once?
Currently, you translate one language pair at a time per document. So if you need to translate your PDF to English and French, you'd upload it twice and select each target language separately. Takes about a minute total for both translations, still faster than any alternative method.
This setup actually gives you more control since you can verify each translation individually and adjust target languages if needed. Plus, with unlimited free translations, processing the same document multiple times costs you nothing but a few extra clicks.
Will formulas and special characters translate correctly?
Mathematical formulas, chemical equations, and special symbols stay intact exactly as they appear in the original. The translator recognizes these as non-translatable elements and preserves them perfectly while translating the surrounding text.
Tables with numerical data? Charts with labels? Footnotes with reference numbers? All handled correctly without scrambling your carefully organized information. The AI distinguishes between text that needs translation and elements that should remain untouched, so your translated document maintains both accuracy and usability.
Does this work on mobile devices like phones and tablets?
Absolutely works on mobile. No app to install, no complicated setup, just open the translator in your mobile browser and use it exactly like you would on a desktop computer. The interface adapts automatically to your screen size.
You can upload PDFs from cloud storage, email attachments, or anywhere else on your mobile device. The translation happens just as fast with the same speed and quality, and you download the results straight to your phone or tablet. Perfect for people who need to translate PDF documents while traveling or working remotely without lugging a laptop around.
What file types and formats does this support?
While our primary focus is to translate PDFs, the tool also supports various other file types and formats. You can drag and drop files in supported formats including DOCX (Word documents), PPT and PPTX (PowerPoint presentations), TXT (plain text files), and even image formats like JPG and PNG. We also handle XML files for structured data.
The system maintains fonts, images, and layout consistency across all these file types. Whether you need to convert a PDF to English, translate Spanish documents to various languages, or work with Japanese business reports, the tool preserves your original formatting perfectly.
This flexibility means you can translate documents without worrying about format compatibility---just upload, select your target language, and save the translated file when it's ready.
