Is it possible to translate whole PDF files while keeping their original formatting?
Yes. With document translation, you can translate whole PDF files with just a few clicks, keeping all the formatting and images in place. The number of document translations available per month depends on your subscription plan.
The web translator, desktop apps, and the API all support this feature. Please note that document translation is not available for users without a DeepL account on the web translator.
The translation and conversion process is conducted entirely through DeepL's in-house service. That means the file and its texts will be processed exclusively within the European Economic Area. You can find more information in our Privacy Policy.
Please note that no authorization is needed to use the PDF translation feature. Team administrators don’t need to activate the feature for their team members. It is enabled by default for all users.
You can translate entire PDF files by opening the document translation area:
- In the web translator, click on Translate files
- In the DeepL for Windows app, click on Translate files
- In the DeepL for Mac app, click on Files
If you want to translate text extracted from PDF files without preserving the formatting, or if you encountered quality issues when translating a PDF file, please read this article.
