About PDFPal.ai
PDFPal.ai is an AI-powered PDF translation platform that preserves the original document layout, including columns, tables, figures, equations, footnotes, and page numbers. It separates visual layout from text, masks formulas as placeholders, translates using frontier AI models (built-in, Google, OpenAI, Claude), and re-anchors the translation onto the original layout. Supports scanned PDFs with optional OCR, glossary for consistent terminology, and outputs a translated PDF or side-by-side bilingual PDF. Over 40 languages supported. Trusted by over 2.4 million pages translated.
