How PDF translation works
Upload
Drag in your PDF or pick it from your device.
Choose a language
Set the target language; the source language is detected automatically.
Download
GLOTX rebuilds the file in your language, ready to download and share.
What stays intact when you translate your PDF
Layout and structure
Pages, columns, headers, and footers stay where they belong. A 40-page contract comes back as a 40-page contract.
Tables and lists
Rows, columns, and numbering stay readable.
Fonts and styles
Headings, bold text, and sizes are kept; the translated file looks like the original.
Translation with context
The AI understands the tone and subject (legal, technical, casual) and keeps terminology consistent across the whole document.
Translate PDF between more than 35 languages
The source language is detected automatically — you only pick the output language. Translate a PDF into English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic, Chinese, and many more, in any direction.
Who translates PDFs with GLOTX
Legal and sales teams translating contracts and proposals; students and researchers reading papers published in other languages; operations teams localizing manuals and documentation without agencies or waiting.

Frequently asked questions
Can GLOTX translate a scanned PDF?
GLOTX translates the text layer of a PDF, so a scan saved as an image-only PDF has nothing to read. Photograph or screenshot the page and use the image translator instead — its OCR reads text straight from pictures.
Does the translated PDF keep its formatting?
Yes — that's the point of GLOTX: layout, fonts, tables, and images are rebuilt page by page.
Is PDF translation free?
The free plan includes 5 documents a month with no card required; the Pro plan removes the limit.
Which languages are supported?
More than 35, in any direction, with automatic detection of the source language.
How big can my PDF be?
Up to 50 MB per file.
Can I translate a PDF into English?
Yes: upload a PDF in any language, leave detection on auto, choose English, and download the translated file.
Translate more than PDF.
PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and JSON — always with the formatting preserved.
