Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on scanned PDFs?
No — you need a text layer. Image-only scans and screenshot PDFs need OCR first (not available on this page yet).
Will Chinese characters display correctly in the download?
Yes for text-layer PDFs on this page. We rebuild the PDF with fonts that support Chinese and related scripts where needed.
Can I mix auto-detect with a fixed target language?
Yes. Leave source on auto detect or lock your language and Chinese explicitly — both work on selectable text PDFs.
Is there a file size limit?
Uploads are capped at 20 MB per file.
Will layout stay pixel-perfect?
Most body text lands near the original position. Dense layouts and very long translations may wrap differently.
