Prepare your PDF before translating

PDF translation works best when the source file is complete, readable, and focused. These tools cover the cleanup steps that often happen before translation: turning image scans into a PDF, combining related files, extracting only the pages you need, removing irrelevant pages, and correcting rotated scans before OCR.

Translate a prepared PDF

Why prepare files first?

  • Cleaner files are easier to review after translation.
  • Removing unused pages can reduce unnecessary processing.
  • Rotated scans and image-only PDFs are better candidates for OCR.
  • Local tools keep files on your device until you upload for translation.

2

A cleaner source PDF is easier to estimate, translate, download, and share with clients, classmates, or teammates.

PDF tools FAQ

Do these PDF tools upload my files?

No. The tools run in your browser. Files are only uploaded if you later choose to send a prepared PDF to the translator.

Which tool should I use before OCR translation?

Use Image to PDF for photos or scans, Rotate PDF for sideways pages, and Split or Delete pages when only part of a scanned file needs translation.

Can PDF tools reduce translation cost?

They can help when you remove pages that do not need translation. The final credit usage still depends on the translated file and selected mode.
