Translate a PDF

How it works

Upload your PDF

Drop a PDF that has selectable text. Up to 20 MB and 40 pages.

Choose a language

Pick the language you want. The original language is detected for you.

Download the result

Preview it right on the page, then download the translated PDF.

Good to know

Built for digital PDFs

Files saved from Word, Google Docs, Canva or a website work best: if you can select the words, we can translate them.

Clean, matching type

Translations use the Noto font family, with the size, position and weight of the original. Longer sentences are fitted neatly into their space.

Right to left, done right

Arabic, Urdu, Persian and Hindi are set with every letter joined correctly and lines aligned the way they are read.

Picks up where it stopped

Finished parts are saved on this device for a week. Close the tab by mistake and the same file carries on from there.

Your file stays with you

The PDF is opened and rebuilt in your browser. Only the words are sent to be translated, and we don't keep your files or your text.

How to translate a PDF online free

The PDF Translator gives you back the same document in another language, with the pages looking as they did before.

Add your PDF. It can be up to 40 pages and 20 MB, and its words must be selectable.

Pick the language you want. The original language is detected for you.

Press Translate and wait while the pages are done. A long file takes a little longer.

Check the result in the viewer, then download the translated PDF.

There is no sign-up and no watermark on the file.

Files saved from Word, Google Docs, Canva or a website work best. A quick test: open the PDF and try to highlight a sentence. If the words highlight one by one, the translator can read them.

Translate PDF to Urdu, Hindi or Arabic and keep formatting

Only the text is replaced, in the same place on the page. Pictures, tables, columns and page structure stay untouched. The new words use the Noto font family at the size, position and weight of the original, and longer sentences are fitted into their space.

Arabic, Urdu and Persian are written right to left, with every letter joined the way it should be. Hindi, Marathi and Nepali use proper Devanagari. That is what makes it practical to translate a PDF English to Urdu for parents, or an English notice into Hindi or Arabic for staff.

Which languages are there

There are 37 target languages. The popular ones are English, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, Persian, French, German, Spanish for Latin America or Spain, and Portuguese for Brazil. There are also Italian, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, Vietnamese, Swahili, Russian, Ukrainian, Greek, Polish, Dutch and many other European languages. Because the original language is detected, you can also translate an Arabic or Urdu PDF to English, as long as its words can be selected.

What it's good for, and when to be careful

Study material, research papers and manuals you need to understand in your own language.

Notices, letters and forms from an office abroad.

To translate a contract PDF so you can follow what it says. For anything legal or official, have a qualified translator check the final wording, because machine translation can miss meaning.

To translate a book PDF longer than 40 pages, split it into parts with Split PDF, translate each part, then join them with Merge PDF.

Troubleshooting and privacy

No selectable text found: the PDF is a scan or a picture. This tool can't translate it. For English scans, Image to Text can still copy the words out.

Password-protected PDF: unlock it first with Unlock PDF, then add it again.

Translation stopped halfway: finished parts are saved on your device for a week. Add the same file again and it carries on.

The PDF itself is opened and rebuilt in your browser. To translate it, its text is sent to our server and on to an AI translation service. We don't keep your file or your text, though translated text can stay in memory for a short time so a retry is quick. Avoid sending documents you are not allowed to share with an outside service.
