## Core features

- Layout-preserving PDF translation (structure stays put)
- First page free on every document (character-capped page model)
- 133 target languages (see language list below)
- Encrypted upload over HTTPS; files tied to your account
- Live progress in the dashboard
- One-time page packs (no monthly subscription)
- Hybrid fairness: dense pages (over the character allowance) may count as more than one page from your pack
- Web app only - nothing to install

## How it works

1. Upload a PDF (up to 40 MB) on the [homepage upload card](https://pdftranslations.com/#upload).
2. Choose the target language from the selector.
3. Translation starts; review the free first page, then unlock more pages with a pack if needed.

## Pricing

Pay only for pages you need. Details: [pricing page](https://pdftranslations.com/pricing).

### Free
