Translate PDF — Whole Documents, Translated on Your Device

Translate a complete PDF into Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Hindi and dozens of other languages — with the document's layout kept in place. Translation is done by the AI built into Chrome and Edge, right on your computer: your file and its text are never uploaded anywhere. Free, no sign-up. Needs desktop Chrome or Edge.

How Translate PDF works

Add your PDF — click Select files or drop it onto the dashed area. Nothing is uploaded.

Pick the source language (or leave Auto-detect) and the language you want.

Click Translate PDF. A one-time language pack may download from your browser provider; then every page is translated block by block and drawn back into the document.

Download your translated PDF.

Good to know

Desktop Chrome or Edge required. The on-device Translator API isn't in phone browsers, Firefox or Safari yet — on those, this page explains the situation honestly instead of faking a result.

Text-only documents in v1. Letters, contracts and reports made of real text work best. Scanned pages are pictures with no text to translate — run them through Searchable PDF first. And if a PDF contains photos or graphics, this version declines it rather than risk covering any of your content — image-rich documents aren't supported yet.

Layout is close, not pixel-perfect. Translated text runs longer or shorter than the original, so it is re-fitted into the original space and line breaks change. Pages look best in Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Armenian, Georgian, Thai and Indic scripts.

Machine translation is a strong draft, not a certified translation — have a native speaker review anything contractual or official.

Frequently asked questions

How do I translate a PDF?

Add your PDF above, pick the source language (or leave Auto-detect) and the language you want, then click Translate PDF. The text on every page is translated and drawn back into the document in place, and the finished PDF downloads automatically — free, with no sign-up.

Is my PDF uploaded for translation?

No. Translation uses the translator built into Chrome and Edge, so your document and its text are processed entirely on your own device. No translation website or server ever sees them. The only download is a one-time language pack your browser fetches from its own provider.

Which browsers and devices does Translate PDF work on?

Chrome and Edge on desktop — Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook. The on-device Translator API is not available in phone browsers, Firefox or Safari yet, so on those the tool explains the situation instead of pretending to work.

Which languages are supported?

Dozens of language pairs, including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Greek, Thai, Hebrew and more. The exact list comes from your browser's built-in translator and grows with browser updates.

Will the translated PDF keep its layout?

Mostly, yes: pages, images and positions stay as they are, and translated text is drawn where the original text was. One honest limit — translated text runs longer or shorter than the original, so wording is re-fitted to its original area and exact line breaks change. The layout is close, not pixel-perfect.

Can I translate a scanned PDF?

Not directly — scans are images, so there is no text to translate. Run the scan through Searchable PDF or OCR PDF first to add a real text layer, then translate the result. PDFs that mix text with photos or graphics aren't supported in this version: the tool detects them and declines, rather than risk hiding any content.

Is Translate PDF free?

Yes — completely free, no account, no watermark. The translation runs on your device with your browser's built-in AI, so there are no server costs to pass on.
