Translate PDF text: how it works

Use a compatible browser’s on-device translation model to translate PDF text. Choose source and target languages before enabling the model. Server AI also works on phones and tablets once a model is connected, with your consent to send extracted text.

    Check browser availability before choosing a file.

  2. 2

    Open a text PDF and select the source and target languages.

  3. 3

    Enable the browser model, translate and download the text.

Translate PDF text FAQs

Will translation work on every phone or browser?

Browser translation depends on the browser’s Translator API, hardware and language support. Server translation works across modern browsers when the model is connected. The page checks availability before you begin. The server AI mode does not need browser-native AI; it requires the site’s model connection.

Are my documents uploaded?

Local PDF tools process documents in your browser. Choosing a file alone does not upload it. Server conversion sends the chosen file only after you confirm; server AI sends extracted text only after consent. Download your output before closing the page; there is no cloud document library.

Are my PDFs encrypted?

The website uses HTTPS to encrypt the connection. Local processing does not automatically password-encrypt your input or downloaded PDF. No website can guarantee 100% security; use a trusted device and keep your original files.

How do I save a PDF on an iPhone?

After creating the result, use Save / Share and choose Save to Files. If a download opens a preview, use the browser’s Share control to save a copy.
