Translate PDFs and keep the layout
Drop a PDF. The translation goes back where the words were, and every page gets a quality check you can see.
PowerPoint, Excel, scanned PDFs and images are next on the list.
What you get with a PDF
Same layout, new language
Text goes back into its place on the page: columns, tables, images and page numbers stay where they were.
Every page checked
Each page is scored after translation. Pages where text overflowed or a number changed are marked, and you can compare them with the original side by side.
A version for reading too

Questions
Can you translate scanned PDFs?
Not yet. Pages without selectable text are kept as they are and not charged, and we tell you which ones they were. Scanned-page support is on the way.
How is a PDF priced?
Per page of the PDF that has text. You see the page count and the credits before anything starts, and scanned pages are never charged.
What if the translation doesn't fit on the page?
We shorten carefully and scale text only a little. Anything that still runs over is flagged on that page so you can check it before you send the file on.
Is my document private?
Files are deleted after 7 days on the free plan and 30 days on Pro, or the moment you press Delete. We don't use your documents to train AI models, and the translation models only get the text to translate, never your name or email.
Can I try before translating everything?
Yes. "Try 3 pages first" translates just the start of the file, charged for those pages only. Translate the whole file afterwards and those pages aren't charged again.
