Scanned PDF: English → Portuguese
Compare a fictional image-only page with its actual Scanfile output. The table values and three sections were retained; fonts, spacing and layout changed.
This clean one-page scan is not a photo or independent quality assessment. Review names, numbers and meaning in your own translation.
The lightweight preview preserves the same page image; the original PDF is the exact file used for translation.

Need to translate a Word document?
Scanfile does not currently accept .doc or .docx files. Choose a workflow based on the output you need:
- Need an editable Word file? Microsoft Word offers document translation in supported versions and creates a separate translated copy. Check its requirements and review the result. See Microsoft’s Word translation options.
- A PDF is sufficient for reading? Export a copy in Word, then upload the PDF to Scanfile. In Word for the web, choose File → Export and download as PDF; other versions may differ. Read Microsoft’s export instructions. The translated output is a PDF, not an editable Word document. Check text, tables and layout against the original.
Keep the original Word file. PDF translation has an eligible first-three-page trial and page-based credits for additional pages; check the offer and estimate after upload.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which file formats can I translate?
Scanfile supports PDF, EPUB, PPTX, PPT, SRT, VTT, and ASS uploads. DOCX, XLSX, and MOBI uploads are not currently supported.
Do I need to choose a translation tool first?
No. Upload a supported file from the homepage, and Scanfile will direct it to the appropriate translator automatically.
Will I have to upload the same file twice?
No. Your file selection is carried into the matching tool, where the upload continues automatically.
Is translation free?
Available free samples vary by format and eligibility. Each tool shows its own limits and the credits required for additional translation.
Will the translated file be editable?
PowerPoint translations are delivered as editable PPTX files. Other formats offer outputs appropriate to their workflows, including translated PDFs, EPUB books, and subtitle files.
How long can I access my files?
Files follow Scanfile's temporary access and expiration rules. Signing in can save your translation record, but does not extend the underlying file's availability. Download your results before they expire.
