Does it keep the original PDF layout?

No. We rebuild the PDF from the extracted text, so exact layout is not guaranteed. It is designed for reading-oriented documents.

Can it translate scanned PDFs?

No. Image-only PDFs are rejected with a clear message. Only PDFs that already contain a text layer can be translated.

What about encrypted PDFs?

Password-protected PDFs are rejected — decrypt the file first, then upload it.

Which PDFs translate best?

Documents exported from Word, Google Docs, LaTeX and other authoring tools, where the text is selectable.

Are rotated pages translated?

No. Pages with a non-zero rotation are left untranslated and reported in the automatic quality check.

Yes, and it runs in your browser — no install.

What works well

Honest scope

KEPT INTACT

Text-based PDFsDocuments exported from Word, Google Docs, LaTeX and most authoring tools translate cleanly.
Figures stay untouchedRegions detected as figures or display formulas are kept verbatim instead of being overwritten.
Bilingual previewCompare the original and the translation side-by-side before you download.
90+ target languagesSource language is auto-detected; pick any target language.

NOT PRESERVED

Original page layoutThe PDF is rebuilt rather than edited in place, so exact positioning and reflow are not guaranteed.
Embedded fonts & imagesThe rebuilt file does not reproduce the original embedded fonts and images.
Rotated pagesPages with a non-zero /Rotate are left untranslated and reported in the quality check.
Scanned & encrypted PDFsImage-only and password-protected PDFs are rejected with a clear message.

PDF is the most lossy format we support. It is built for reading and reference — if you need pixel-perfect layout, PDF is not the right format, and we would rather tell you than ship a broken file.
