Translate a PDF
Whole documents into another language, layout preserved as far as practical. You see the exact credit price before anything runs.
Processed on our server for this tool — your file is deleted the moment processing finishes, success or failure.
How translation works on PDFlee
Drop a PDF and we detect its language and show the price up front — 3 credits per ~10 pages on the standard tier, 5 on the premium (DeepL) tier. Pick the target language, confirm, and download a translated PDF with the text placed back where it was.
Unlike the free tools, translation runs on our server: the file is uploaded for processing only and deleted the moment your translated PDF is ready — success or failure, nothing is stored. Credits are deducted only when the translation succeeds.
How much does translating a PDF cost?
The price is shown before anything runs: 3 credits per ~10 pages (or ~20k characters) on the standard tier, 5 on the premium DeepL tier. A typical 10-page document is 3–5 credits — about €1.50–2.50, no subscription.
Is my document stored on your servers?
No. Translation needs server-side processing, so the file is uploaded — but it exists only for the duration of the job and is deleted immediately after, whether the translation succeeds or fails.
Does the translated PDF keep my layout?
As far as practical: pages keep their size and each paragraph is placed back at its original position, shrinking the text slightly when the translation runs longer. Complex layouts and scanned (image-only) PDFs are not supported yet, and some special characters may be simplified.
What happens if the translation fails?
You are not charged. Credits are deducted only on success; any failure after the deduction is refunded automatically.
