Need to understand a contract, letter or article in another language? Translate PDF reads the text out of your PDF and translates it into the language you choose, then hands you the result to copy or download. It works for any text-based PDF in 50+ languages.
Two honest caveats. First, translation isn't local — there's no offline translation engine, so the extracted text is sent to a translation service (the PDF file itself never leaves your device, but the text does), which is why we flag it above. Second, if your PDF is a scan (images of pages), there's no text to extract — run it through OCR PDF or Image to Text first, then translate the result.
Add your PDF, choose the source and target languages, and click Translate. The text is extracted in your browser and translated, then you copy or download it.
The PDF file stays on your device, but the extracted text is sent to an external translation service. Don't use it for confidential documents.
Scans have no text to extract — OCR it first with OCR PDF or Image to Text, then translate.
