TRANSLATE PDF, WORD, EXCEL AND POWERPOINT — AND KEEP THE LAYOUT Most translators hand you back a wall of text. PDF Translator hands you back your document: the same tables, the same columns, the same letterhead and the same page breaks — in a new language. Try it before you pay. No account, no card. KEEPS YOUR FORMATTING - Tables stay tables and columns stay aligned. - Logos, headers, footers and images stay exactly where they were. - Page layout is preserved, so a translated contract still reads like a contract. - Documents that mix several languages can be translated into one single language. EVERY DOCUMENT YOU ACTUALLY WORK WITH - PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx) and photos. - Scanned paperwork: built-in OCR reads the page first, then translates it. - Long documents: split and translated automatically, however many pages. - Up to 133 languages, with automatic language detection. TRANSLATE WITHOUT LEAVING THE APP YOU ARE IN Share a document straight from Mail, Files, Safari or any other app using the built-in extension, and get the translated file back without switching apps. STRAIGHT ANSWERS ON CREDITS - One page costs one credit, and you see the page count before anything is spent. - If a translation fails, the credit goes back into your balance automatically. - No machine-translation watermark on your translated documents. A FULL PDF TOOLKIT AS WELL - Edit the text and images inside a PDF. - Compress a PDF to reduce its file size. - Split, merge and scan, and convert photos into PDF. - Rename, save and share your files, with full Dark Mode support. CHOOSE YOUR ENGINE Translate with Microsoft or Google, whichever you prefer for your language pair. Built for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Scan a page with your camera, open a photo or PDF, or import text from another app. Choose a source and target language from more than 50 languages, then translate the content on your device.

Tap a line for a quick translation, press and hold for a paragraph, or translate the whole page in a clear, scrollable reading layer. Use Show on Page to return to the matching passage in the original image. Translation cards can be moved, copied, closed, retried and reset without losing the source page.
