Translate the text of a PDF

Translate your PDF's text between English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Portuguese, and download it translated or as a bilingual version.

Supported file: PDF. You can also drag it here

Translate documents without copy and paste

The tool extracts the text from each page, translates it and generates a new PDF with the translated text, or with the original and translation side by side for comparison.

Important: unlike the other tools, translation sends the text to the free MyMemory service. We'll ask for your permission first. Don't use it with confidential documents.
