FAQ

PDF Translate FAQ

Everything you need to know about this PDF Translator, credits, OCR, file handling, and the homepage upload flow.

1

Do I need an account to use PDF Translate?

You can view the uploader and estimate the credit cost first. Creating a translation task and downloading translated files requires an account with credits.

2

How many credits does a PDF translation cost?

Standard text translation and OCR scan translation both show an estimated credit cost before the task starts.

3

What PDF types are supported?

PDF Translate supports PDF uploads up to 50 MB and public HTTPS PDF links. Standard mode works best for selectable-text PDFs; OCR is available for scanned or image-only PDFs.

4

Can I translate scanned PDFs?

Yes. Choose OCR scan translation for scanned documents or pages where text cannot be selected.

5

How are files handled?

Files are used for upload, task status, translation processing, and download delivery. See the Security and Privacy pages for more detail.

6

What makes PDF Translate different from a general PDF Translator?

PDF Translate keeps the PDF Translator upload flow, language choices, OCR mode, credit preview, and privacy links visible before you create a translation task.

7

Does PDFTranslate.org claim formal security certification?

No. We describe the current file-handling workflow and privacy terms, but we do not claim formal security or privacy certification unless such evidence is available.
