Online PDF translator for documents you cannot copy-paste
Upload a contract, invoice, certificate, or manual. If the PDF is a scan, OCR reads the page images first. Compare OCR and translation on the first pages for free, then continue the full file.
Translate a PDF online — including scans with no selectable text
Google Translate’s PDF upload needs selectable text. If you cannot copy from the file, use OCR here. Free preview, no account.
What Sets This PDF Translator Apart
Not every PDF comes with selectable text. This translator was built for documents where copy-paste doesn't work.
Works on Scanned Files
If the text in your PDF is part of an image — a photo of a document, a scanner output — OCR reads it before translation starts.
50+ Languages Supported
Translate from Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Korean, Portuguese, and more. Source language is detected automatically.
Review Before You Pay
A free preview shows OCR output and translation side by side on the first pages. Verify quality before committing to the full document.
Structure Stays Intact
Tables, numbered lists, and section headers carry through to the translation. The output reads like a document, not a dump of text.
Translate a PDF in Three Steps
No software to install. Works directly in the browser.
Upload Your PDF

OCR + Translation Runs Automatically
Text is extracted from each page with OCR, cleaned up, and then translated. The first pages are free.
Review and Download
Compare original and translated text. Download the output once you're satisfied with the result.
