Upload a German text-layer PDF, translate to English, and download — helpful for EU compliance docs and technical manuals.

Set German as source, English as target, then export the PDF.
Start with a German text-layer PDF from compliance packs, manuals, or vendor quotes. Files up to 20 MB work here — if you cannot select text in a reader, the PDF is likely a scan and is not supported yet.
Set German as the source and English as the target for this page. Auto detect is fine when the file mixes languages or you are not sure which German variant is in the text layer.
We extract the text, translate it to English, and rebuild a PDF you can save locally. Most body copy stays near the original position; very long English strings may wrap differently in dense layouts.
Share English PDFs with stakeholders who do not read German. Upload your file, pick languages, preview translated text in the browser, then download the finished German to English PDF output without desktop software.
Standard machine translation often misses the mark on nuance. The VMEG AI engine is trained on diverse, real-world datasets to understand German idiomatic expressions and complex terminology, providing a natural-sounding translation that simple word-for-word tools cannot match.
Upload a PDF
VMEG AI uses advanced processing technology to preserve original tables, charts, and image placements, ensuring the document looks exactly as intended after the translation. The download keeps your original file type where possible so you can open it in Word, Excel, or your usual editor after German to English PDF finishes.
Try it free
The VMEG AI distributed cloud architecture allows for near-instant processing, even for large, page-heavy documents, helping users maintain productivity without waiting for slow, inefficient tools. No desktop CAT tool required: preview, adjust language pair, and export from the same free online German to English PDF workspace.

No — you need a text layer. Image-only scans and screenshot PDFs need OCR first (not available on this page yet). For scanned PDFs or photos of text, run OCR first so the file has a selectable text layer, then upload it to German to English PDF.
Yes for text-layer PDFs on this page. We rebuild the PDF with fonts that support English and related scripts where needed. The German to English PDF keeps your file format where possible — upload, pick languages, preview, then download the translated document from this page.
Yes. Leave source on auto detect or lock German and English explicitly — both work on selectable text PDFs. The German to English PDF keeps your file format where possible — upload, pick languages, preview, then download the translated document from this page.
Uploads are capped at 20 MB per file. If a deck or spreadsheet exceeds the cap, split it into smaller files or export a lighter PDF, then run German to English PDF again on each part.
Most body text lands near the original position. Dense layouts and very long translations may wrap differently. Dense slides or narrow columns may wrap after translation; open the download and adjust styling locally if a label overflows.
