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