Translate a PDF for free — scanned or digital — and get it back with the layout intact. 5 pages a day, no credit card.
Reglyph translates PDF documents for free: 5 pages every day, download included, no credit card — just sign in with Google. Unlike most free PDF translators, it reads scanned and image-only PDFs, and instead of handing back loose text it erases the original and re-typesets the translation into the same page, so tables, forms and stamps come out where they were.
Most free PDF translators need a text layer. Give them a scan — a photographed certificate, a faxed contract, a book page — and they either refuse the file or run a rough OCR pass and reflow whatever came out. Reglyph is built the other way round: it reads the page as an image, decides what is text and what is a stamp, a signature or a table rule, translates the text, and sets the translation back into the exact space it came from. The free tier is the same pipeline as the paid one; only the page count differs.
Sign in with Google — there is no form to fill in and no card to add. Upload your PDF; scanned or digital, it doesn't matter. Pick the target language and wait a minute or two while each page is read, translated and rebuilt. Download the translated PDF. Your first five pages each day are free, and the counter resets daily.
The free allowance applies to every language pair. The most requested free translations are into and out of Spanish, Chinese and Korean; each language has its own page with the specifics of that script — accents, right-to-left text, hanko on Japanese forms, seals on Chinese documents. Start from the Spanish, Chinese or Korean pages, or browse every document type if you're translating a certificate, statement or record.
Google Translate's document mode is free and fast, and for a born-digital PDF that you only need to read it is a fine choice. It has two limits that matter for real documents: it works from the text layer, so scanned PDFs come back badly or not at all, and it returns reflowed text rather than a page that matches the original — a bank statement stops being a statement. Reglyph's free tier trades a page cap for a document that still looks like your document. If you need a translated file you can send on, that is the trade to make.
Yes. Every account gets 5 pages a day, every day, with no credit card. You only pay if you need more pages than that, and then only for the pages a document still needs.
Yes. Downloading is part of the free allowance — there is no paywall between translating and getting your file.
Yes. The source text is erased from the page image and the translation is typeset back into the same position, so tables, columns, form fields, stamps and signatures stay where they were.
