Translate a PDF to Spanish
Translate any PDF into Spanish while keeping the original layout — accented characters and ¿inverted punctuation? rendered properly, and the price visible before you commit a single credit.

Spanish translation with the layout intact
Spanish is one of the most requested target languages for documents: manuals and product sheets for Spanish-speaking markets, letters and forms for family abroad, rental and employment paperwork for a move to Spain or Latin America. In almost all of these, the person receiving the document compares it against the original — so PDFlee rebuilds each translated page on a copy of the original, keeping images, tables and stamps in place while the Spanish text takes the position of the source text.
Spanish text tends to run somewhat longer than English — expansion of roughly 15–25% is typical — which is milder than German but still enough to break naive layouts. The same re-flow applies: each block is refitted inside its original bounding box, with the font size stepped down when the Spanish needs more room.
Accented vowels (á, é, í, ó, ú), ñ and the inverted punctuation marks ¿ and ¡ are all rendered from the embedded Noto Sans font — written into the output file itself, so nothing depends on the fonts of the machine that opens it.
One Spanish, many readers
PDFlee translates into general Spanish rather than a specific regional variant. For everyday documents — letters, manuals, contracts — the differences between peninsular and Latin American Spanish are mostly vocabulary at the margins, and a translated document remains fully understandable across regions. If your document is going to a regulator or a court that requires a specific variant and certified phrasing, that is a job for a sworn human translator; for everything short of that, machine translation with the layout preserved covers it.
Pricing is in credits and shown before anything runs: 3 credits per unit on the standard tier, 5 on premium, where a unit is up to 10 pages or 20,000 characters — whichever is larger. Credits are only deducted when the translation succeeds; failures are refunded automatically. New accounts start with 3 free credits, enough to translate a typical document end to end.
What is not supported
PDFlee translates the text embedded in your PDF. Scanned or photographed documents — where each page is just an image — contain no embedded text, so they cannot be translated here. Run OCR first, then translate the OCR'd file.
Privacy: what happens to your document
Translation is the one PDFlee tool that runs on our server: your document is uploaded over HTTPS for processing and deleted the moment the job finishes, success or failure. Every other PDFlee tool (merge, split, compress and the rest) runs entirely in your browser.
Which Spanish does the translation produce?
General Spanish, understandable across Spain and Latin America. For documents that legally require a specific regional variant or certification, use a sworn human translator.
Are accents and ñ preserved in the output?
Yes — the output embeds a font with full Spanish character coverage, so á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, ñ, ¿ and ¡ render as written on any device.
How much does translating a PDF to Spanish cost?
3 credits per unit on the standard tier, 5 on premium, where a unit is up to 10 pages or 20,000 characters. The exact price is shown before the job runs, and new accounts get 3 free credits.
Does the translated PDF keep my images and tables?
Yes — each output page is a copy of the original page, so images, vector graphics and table structure survive; only the text is replaced with Spanish.
