Translate a PDF same layout, free

By ShinobiTools Team · Last updated: July 2026

Drop in a PDF and pick a language — you get the same PDF back, translated: pages, images and layout stay where they were. Free up to 25 pages, no account, no watermark.

A PDF translator that gives you a PDF back

Most free routes to a translated PDF hand you a wall of plain text: the layout, tables and images are gone, and the tools that do keep the layout put exactly that feature behind a subscription. This one rebuilds the translation inside your document — every text block is replaced in place, images and page structure stay untouched — and it's free for documents up to 25 pages (a €5 pass does 100, and works on our other tools too).

Seven languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian — in any direction between them.

Your document stays on our machine

The translating happens on our own hardware, with a language model we run ourselves. Your PDF is not forwarded to a cloud translation service, there is no account, and the original is deleted the moment the translation starts working through it; the result is wiped within 45 minutes.

Honest about the limits

Scanned pages need the text recognised before translation works well — our OCR PDF tool takes care of that first. Prefer to translate inside a word processor instead? PDF to Word converts the file so you can edit it directly. Just need the gist in English instead of a full translation? Summarize PDF reads the document and writes a short English summary instead of translating the whole thing.

Common questions

Does the layout really survive?

Yes — the translation is placed back into the same text blocks, so pages, images and structure stay put. Fonts are unified and long translations shrink a little to fit; it's a faithful working copy, not a typographic clone.

Is it free?

Up to 25 pages per document, free — no account, no watermark. A €5 ShinobiTools pass raises that to 25 pages for a month and works on our other tools too.

Is my PDF sent to Google Translate or a cloud service?

No. The translation runs on our own machine with our own language model. Nothing about your document leaves our hardware, and it's deleted right after processing.

Can it translate a scanned PDF?

Not directly — a scan has no text layer. Run it through the scan tool on our homepage first (that adds searchable text with OCR), then translate the result here.

Which languages does it support?

English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian, in any direction between them.

How long does it take?

Text is translated page by page on our own hardware: a one-pager is usually under a minute, ten pages can take a few minutes. The page shows live progress.
