How to translate a PDF into English

  1. Choose your original PDF. Send a text-based or scanned PDF up to 300 MiB. Processing happens online; do not upload a file you lack permission to use.
  2. Check both languages. Confirm the detected source, especially if the document mixes languages. English is selected initially; you can change the target.
  3. Choose pages and check the price. Select file-page positions or ranges. When available, the free trial applies to the first three file pages; check the displayed credit cost for other pages before starting.
  4. Compare the output. Review names, dates, numbers, negation, captions and reading order against the source. Download while the file is available and sign in when required.

Arabic scanned PDF → English

A fictional, clean image-only inventory translated in a guest trial. The output retained the example's counts and negative statement, but alignment and typeface changed; copied text can differ and no independent linguistic review was performed.

These two short examples do not establish accuracy for other documents, handwriting, blurred scans or complex tables. A fictional statement about personal data is not a privacy guarantee.

Before relying on the English result

A text layer on one page does not prove that every page is selectable or readable. Scans, diagrams and tables may need extra checking. A translation can change line breaks, fonts and layout; keep the original next to the result. Scanfile provides machine translation for reading and review, not a certified human translation. If a recipient requires certification or official acceptance, confirm its requirements and use a qualified translator.
