Introducing PDFPal.ai

Translate any PDF while keeping its exact layout — columns, tables and formulas intact. Here is how PDFPal does it.

Most translation tools flatten a PDF into a wall of plain text. PDFPal.ai keeps your document looking like the original — headings, multi-column layout, tables, and mathematical formulas all stay exactly where they were.

How it works

PDFPal parses your document into an intermediate representation that separates the visual layout from the text. It translates the text with formulas masked as placeholders, then re-anchors the translation onto the original layout and rescales each paragraph to fit.

  1. Upload a PDF.
  2. Pick a translation engine and target language.
  3. Download the translated PDF — or a side-by-side bilingual copy.

Why it's different

  • Layout preserved — the output mirrors the source page for page.
  • Formulas intact — equations are kept verbatim, never mangled.
  • Your choice of engine — a free tier to start, or premium DeepL, OpenAI and Claude.
  • Private by design — documents are processed on isolated workers and never used to train models.
