Translate a PDF with AI
Translate the complete readable text of a PDF into English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, German, French, and other widely used languages. 1PDF extracts text locally, preserves page markers and basic paragraph structure, and sends only that extracted text to a third-party AI provider after you start the translation. The result can be copied or downloaded as a UTF-8 text file, while the original PDF never leaves your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Does AI Translate PDF preserve the original visual layout?
No. It translates extracted text and preserves page markers and basic paragraph structure, but it does not reconstruct fonts, columns, images, or the exact page design.
Is the original PDF uploaded?
No. The file stays in your browser. Only extracted text and the selected target language are sent to the third-party AI provider after you click translate.
Can it translate a scanned PDF?
Run OCR first so the scanned pages contain readable text. Always review names, technical terms, legal clauses, and numeric details before relying on a translation.
