About this tool
These AI tools send extracted text to an external AI processing provider. Scanned PDFs require OCR first. Translation returns text, not a layout-preserving translated PDF. Review every result before using it.
Preview before sending
The PDF is read locally. You can inspect the extracted text before it is sent for external AI processing through the pdfy server.
Clear output
Download text for reuse. AI results can contain mistakes and do not reproduce your PDF’s original layout.
Limited free service
No account required. A shared daily request limit keeps server and API use bounded.
