How does our AI-powered PDF translator work?

Full PDF documents can be translated using the web translator, desktop apps, and API. However, with our mobile apps, you can translate text extracted from PDF files, but won't receive a downloadable PDF translation.

PDF document translation is a straightforward process. On the web translator, simply:

1. Create a free DeepL account

2. Click on "Translate files"

3. Select the file on your computer

4. Choose your desired target language

5. Click "Translate", and get your downloaded file

For even greater control and customization, Advanced and Ultimate subscribers can download editable .docx files as a result of PDF translations.
