Is it private?
This tool needs a small amount of server help to do its job. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, processed immediately, and deleted automatically within one hour. We never read the contents, never share them, and never use them for any other purpose. Tools that can run fully offline are clearly marked as private.
What it costs
Nothing. There is no account to create, no daily limit on how many files you can process, no cap on file size beyond what your own device can handle, and no watermark added to your output. The site is funded by advertising, which keeps the tools themselves free for everyone.
Good to know
Because translate pdf happens on your own hardware, speed depends on your device rather than on how busy our servers are. A modern laptop will handle most documents almost instantly. Very large files — several hundred megabytes, or documents with thousands of pages — will take longer and use more memory, so on a phone it is worth closing other tabs first.
If a file fails to open, it is usually because it is password protected or was damaged in transit. Remove the password with Unlock PDF, or try Repair PDF to recover a corrupted document.
