Hi Product Hunt!
We're SmallLab28, an independent software studio building practical software and document processing technologies.
We built PrivatePDF to solve a common frustration: translating complex PDF documents without losing the original layout.
Technical manuals, research papers, academic documents, and business reports often contain tables, images, equations, and carefully formatted text. Translating these documents while preserving their original structure can be challenging, and manually fixing the formatting afterward takes time.
PrivatePDF is our approach to making PDF translation and document processing easier, more flexible, and more accessible.
What makes PrivatePDF different?
PDF translation with layout preservation
Translate documents while preserving their original formatting, including text positioning, images, and tables as faithfully as possible.
Privacy-conscious document processing
Many PDF tools require you to upload documents to external servers. PrivatePDF supports local, browser-based processing for many PDF operations. For translation, document content may be sent to the selected external translation provider, depending on your chosen engine and workflow.
Your choice of translation engine
Choose the translation service that best fits your needs, including Google Translate, OpenAI, Gemini, and DeepL with your own API key.
More than just a PDF translator
PrivatePDF brings together a range of document tools, including PDF compression, merging, splitting, conversion, OCR, and AI-powered document assistance.
An integrated web and desktop experience
Use PrivatePDF through the web or its desktop application, depending on your workflow. Our goal is to provide practical document tools without forcing users into a single provider or workflow.
Built by SmallLab28
PrivatePDF is part of SmallLab28, an independent software studio developing document processing solutions and its own C/C++ libraries for PDF extraction and compression.
We believe useful software should solve real problems while giving users more control over their tools, workflows, and technology choices.
