Any file formats not mentioned in this table are not supported by any DeepL products or subscription plans.

You can upload and translate multiple files at once in the web translator and in the DeepL for Windows app. The limits mentioned in the table above apply.

If a document that isn’t fully compatible with the official specification of the supported file formats, the document won't be supported for document translation. This could, for example, happen if you convert a document from a non-supported format to one of the formats supported by DeepL.

If you have a DeepL account without a DeepL subscription, your translated files will not be editable. To edit your translated document, consider subscribing to a DeepL Pro plan. You can find more information about our DeepL Pro plans here.

If you have a DeepL API (Free or Pro) subscription, consider that different rules might apply to document translation. For a full overview of the process and requirements, visit our API Technical Documentation.
