Are PDFs uploaded?
No. Extraction and translation run in the tab.
PDF translator
Pull the text layer from a PDF and translate it on your device. Scanned PDFs without a text layer will need the image translator.
Frequently asked questions
Why did it say there is no text?
Scans often have no text layer. Use Image Translator on page screenshots.
Is the layout preserved?
We preserve paragraphs, not pixel-perfect boxes. It is a text translator.
How long can the PDF be?
Very long documents are clipped so the local model can finish.
Does it work offline after models load?
Yes once pdf.js, Tesseract (if used), and the LLM weights are cached.
Can I get a translated PDF back?
This version exports TXT. Rebuild a PDF with JPG to PDF if you need pages.
