Translate PDF without installing software
Create a translated PDF from English selectable text. The first use downloads a translation model, after which the document text is processed in the browser.
Translate selectable English text into French, German, or Spanish for an initial reading copy. The browser downloads a language model and processes the text locally; the original PDF layout is not reconstructed.
Before you start
Check that the source contains English selectable text. Try a short passage first and allow the initial model download to finish on a stable connection. The interface language selector is separate from the translation target.

Practical example
Make a French reading copy
- Choose a short English text PDF and select French.
- Wait for the language model and translation to complete without closing the tab.
- Compare names, dates, quantities, and technical terms with the source before sharing the result.
A newly laid-out PDF contains translated text. Images, table structure, and exact source pagination are not retained.
Capabilities and limits
- Machine translation can misinterpret context, negation, abbreviations, and technical vocabulary. It is not certified translation.
- Long passages, unusual characters, or complex layouts may be omitted, mistranslated, or poorly formatted. Use short sections and verify the output.
When the result is unexpected
The first translation is slow
The selected model must download before local processing. Network restrictions or limited device memory can prevent it from loading.
The formatting is different
That is expected: this tool translates extracted text into a new reading copy, rather than editing text inside the original design.
Check the downloaded file
Have a competent reader review any translation used for important communication. Retain the original and clearly identify the downloaded copy as machine-translated.
