Helpful notes before you begin
Maximum PDF: 20 MB AND 200 pages. Translation needs a configured API; OCR on scanned pages can be slow. Output PDF is simplified and not layout-identical. OCR accuracy depends on lighting, angle, resolution, language, fonts and the underlying image. Translation can change the meaning of specialized legal, financial or medical language, so manually review important documents.
Frequently asked questions
Does it retain the original PDF layout?
No. It exports extracted text as TXT or a simplified rendered PDF; tables, images, signatures and complex formatting are not preserved.
Can it translate exactly 200 pages?
The input guard supports up to 200 pages and 20 MB, but completion depends on browser resources, text volume, translation provider quotas and timeouts.
Is my original PDF uploaded for translation?
The PDF is read in your browser. The extracted text segments are sent to the configured translation provider.
