How to Translate a PDF or Word File Without Losing Format
Copying text into a basic translator breaks tables, paragraphs and images. Here's how to translate a PDF or Word document so it keeps its original layout — no retyping and nothing to install.
Why ordinary translation breaks the formatting
When you copy text out of a PDF or Word file and paste it into a plain translator, everything around it is lost — headings, columns, tables, bullet points and page breaks. Our document translator works on the file itself, so the translated text goes back in place and the visual structure is preserved.
Which files you can upload
You can upload a PDF, a Microsoft Word document or a plain text file. After uploading, choose the target language and start the translation. Your original stays untouched — you get the result as a separate translated file to download.
Step by step
- Open the Document Translation section right in your browser.
- Upload your file — PDF, Word or a text document.
- Choose the target language (100+ languages available).
- Start the translation and wait for processing.
- Download the translated document with its layout preserved.
💡 For contracts, invoices and official paperwork, always double-check numbers, dates and proper names after translating — they stay the same, but a quick review is always worth it.
