How to translate EPUB and PDF ebooks with TranslateEPUB.

What is TranslateEPUB?

TranslateEPUB is an online EPUB and PDF translator. Upload a book, preview the first pages free on your first upload, then unlock the full translation with credits.

Quick start

  1. Open the homepage upload form.
  2. Choose an .epub or .pdf file (up to 50MB).
  3. Set Source Language (default Auto Detect) and Target Language (default Chinese).
  4. Click Start Translating.
  5. You will be taken to the job workbench for preview, full translation, and download.

Free preview

Your first upload includes a limited free preview of the opening pages. Full-book translation uses credits. Preview pages do not consume credits.

Credits and pricing

  • About 1 credit ≈ 1,000 source words.
  • A ~100,000-word book uses about 100 credits.
  • Buy one-time credit packs on the Pricing page. No subscription required.

Supported files

  • EPUB: text-based EPUBs work best.
  • PDF: text-based PDFs are supported; image-only scans may need OCR first.
  • DRM-protected or empty/image-only books cannot be parsed.

Download

When a full translation finishes, download the EPUB from the job workbench. Signed download links expire after 24 hours; you can also manage saved copies under Settings → Translations.
