What is AI PDF Translator and how does it work?

AI PDF Translator is a free online tool from HuntPDF. Translate the text of a PDF to any language using AI. You upload a file, the work happens on our servers, and you download the result. There is nothing to install and no account to create.

How do I use AI PDF Translator online?

Upload your file using the box above — drag it in, browse for it, or bring it in from your cloud storage. A preview appears so you can check you've picked the right file. Run AI PDF Translator, then download the result. You can rename it before you save it.

Is my file secure when I use AI PDF Translator?

Yes. The file you send to AI PDF Translator travels over an encrypted HTTPS connection and is processed automatically on our servers. It is never made public, never shared with anyone, and nobody reads it.

Does HuntPDF store my files after AI PDF Translator has run?

No. Your upload is deleted the moment AI PDF Translator finishes with it, and the file it produces is removed as soon as you have downloaded it, or when you upload another file, or when you close the page. Nothing is kept, and nothing is used to train anything.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Not on its own. The AI reads the text inside your PDF, and a scan is only a picture of a page with no text in it. Run the file through OCR PDF first to add a text layer, then come back.

Will the original quality and formatting be maintained?

Yes. AI PDF Translator is built to leave your content exactly as it is — only the change you asked for is applied. Nothing else about the file is altered or re-compressed.

Can I use AI PDF Translator on mobile?

Yes. AI PDF Translator works in any modern browser on phones and tablets — iPhone, iPad or Android — with nothing to install. You can upload straight from your device or from your cloud storage.

Can I rename my file before downloading it from AI PDF Translator?

Yes. The file AI PDF Translator gives you back keeps the name of the file you uploaded by default. If you'd rather call it something else, edit the name in the field next to the download button before you save it.

Do I need to install any software to use AI PDF Translator?

No. There is nothing to download, install or sign up for — AI PDF Translator is used from your browser and does the work on our servers, so it behaves the same on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

How long does AI PDF Translator take?

Most files are finished in a few seconds. A large or page-heavy file takes a little longer, because AI PDF Translator runs on our servers rather than on your device — but you won't be waiting around. You can upload files up to 250MB.

Is AI PDF Translator free to use?

Yes. AI PDF Translator is free, with no signup, no watermark on the result and no daily limit for normal use.

What does Translate PDF do?

It reads the text in your PDF and writes it out in the language you choose, with headings and lists kept, ready to copy or download.

Does it keep the original page layout?

It keeps the structure of the text, such as headings, paragraphs and lists, but gives you the translation as text rather than a redesigned PDF.

Can I translate a scanned letter?

Run OCR PDF on it first. OCR supports English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Simplified Chinese scans.

Do I need to tell it the source language?

No. You only choose the language to translate into.

Is the translation good enough for official use?

It's made for reading and everyday use. Courts, embassies and universities usually ask for a certified translation.

Translate PDF turns the text of a PDF into another language, keeping its meaning, tone and structure, so you can read a foreign contract, letter or manual without copying it paragraph by paragraph. It translates into eleven languages, including English, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, French and Spanish.

How to use Translate PDF

Add the PDF by dropping it on the page or choosing it from Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. Pick the language under 'Translate to'. It starts on your browser's language. Press the button, which reads Translate to and the language you picked. The translated text appears on the page with its headings and lists kept, and you can copy it or download it as a .txt or .md file.

When Translate PDF helps

A family in Dubai reads a German school report for their son. A buyer checks the terms on a supplier's invoice written in Turkish. A volunteer turns an English health leaflet into Urdu so a neighbour can read it.

Languages and what you get

You can translate into English, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian or Turkish. The result is text rather than a copy of the original page design, which makes it easy to paste into an email or a Word document. For an official submission, have the translation checked by a qualified translator.
