Scanfile

What it is

Scanfile is an online AI translation service built around whole files rather than pasted text. Users upload a document, and Scanfile identifies the format and sends it to the matching translator for PDFs, EPUB books, PowerPoint presentations or subtitles. After choosing source and target languages, users can review a free sample where available, see a credit estimate, and then download the result. Outputs include translated PDF pages, native EPUB files, editable PPTX decks, and translated or bilingual subtitle files with timestamps kept intact. Pricing uses one-time credit packs with no subscription, and credits do not expire. It suits students, researchers, publishers and video creators handling foreign-language files.

Editor's notes

More context from AI BirdView

Scanfile focuses on a very practical problem: getting a translated file back in a format you can actually use. Instead of copying text into a translator and rebuilding the layout by hand, you upload the original and receive a translated PDF, EPUB, editable slide deck or subtitle file, depending on what you started with.

Detects the file type on upload and opens the right translator without a second upload
Delivers PowerPoint translations as editable PPTX files rather than flat images
Keeps subtitle timestamps intact and can produce bilingual subtitle output
Lets you translate selected PDF pages or ranges so you only spend credits on what you need
Shows sample translations of real files so you can judge quality before uploading

Scanfile is well suited to students reading foreign-language papers, small publishers testing a translated book, and creators localizing video captions. The pay-as-you-go credit model works nicely for occasional use, since nothing renews monthly. A practical tip: download your results soon after translation, because files follow temporary access and expiry rules, and use the free sample on a few representative pages first to check how well terminology and formatting carry over for your document.
