ImageTranslateTranslate native or scanned PDFs while preserving page order, layout, images, and selectable text whenever possible.
Pick a file first — you will see the credit estimate before anything is charged.
The online PDF translator combines text translation, optional OCR and a downloadable file workflow for reports, manuals, papers and scanned documents.
Translate articles, white papers and market research while keeping charts, captions and page order together.
Upload a PDF and download the translated output from the same workspace instead of copying each page into a separate editor.
Illustrative example; results vary with the source, language and model.
Create a working translation of agreements, proposals, invoices and policy documents for review across teams.
Keep page order, text blocks, images and document structure together wherever the source format allows.
Illustrative example; results vary with the source, language and model.
Localize product manuals, onboarding guides and course handouts without splitting the source into individual pages.
Enter a range such as 1-3, 7 to translate selected pages, reduce processing time and control credit usage.
Illustrative example; results vary with the source, language and model.
Run OCR on scanned reports, forms and records before translating text that has no selectable PDF layer.
Enable OCR when the file contains photographed or scanned pages with no selectable text layer.
Illustrative example; results vary with the source, language and model.
Choose from multiple AI text models and 16 supported languages for business, academic and technical material.
Queued translations keep processing in the background and remain available from My Space when the output is ready.
Translate the full document or a selected range. The workspace shows an estimate before the job is submitted.
Choose a native or scanned PDF. The uploader checks the format, file size and estimated page count.
Select the target language, choose an AI model, enter an optional page range and enable OCR for scanned pages.
Review the credit estimate, submit the job and download the translated PDF when processing is complete.
Yes. A free account includes credits you can use to try PDF translation. The number of pages you can process depends on the file, OCR and the credits available on your plan.
ImageTranslate is designed to preserve page order, text blocks, images and document structure wherever the source PDF allows. Very complex layouts may still need a final human review.
Yes. Turn on OCR for image-only or scanned pages. OCR recognizes the text first, then the selected AI model translates it into your target language.
Yes. Enter individual pages or ranges such as 1-3, 7. Translating a smaller selection can reduce processing time and credit usage.
The PDF translator supports 16 popular languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese. You can also use automatic source detection.
Processing time depends on page count, file complexity, OCR and queue load. Large jobs run in the background, so you can return to My Space for the result.
The PDF size limit depends on your plan. The uploader shows the current limit, and the pricing page compares the limits available on every tier.
Upload a native or scanned PDF, choose the pages and language, then download the translated document.
Copying text into a generic translator can work for a paragraph. It becomes slow and error-prone when the source is a multi-page document.
| Compare | ImageTranslate | Copy-paste translation |
|---|---|---|
| Document structure | Pages and file structure stay in one workflow | Text is separated from the source document |
| Scanned pages | Optional OCR reads image-only pages | Requires a separate OCR step |
| Selected pages | Translate a full file or custom page range | Select and repeat page by page |
| Output | Downloadable translated PDF | Loose translated text |
A native PDF contains a real text layer. You can usually select, search and copy its words, which gives the translator a clean source and makes processing more direct. Exported reports, digital contracts, ebooks and office documents are commonly native PDFs.
A scanned PDF is made from page images. Even if the letters look sharp on screen, there may be no machine-readable text underneath. Enabling OCR tells ImageTranslate to recognize the words on those page images before translation. Clear, upright scans with good contrast produce the strongest results.
For large files, translate only the pages you need first. Page ranges make it easier to test terminology, review output quality and control credits before processing the entire document. The estimate shown in the workspace is based on the selected pages and whether OCR is enabled.
