Frequently asked questions

  • Will translation be accurate?

    PDF Guru is designed for clear, practical translation, but accuracy depends on the source file. A clean document usually gives better results than a blurry scan.

    For legal, medical, or financial files, review the translated text before using it in a formal setting. The tool is best for understanding and editing content faster, not for replacing certified translation when one is required.

  • Can I translate a scanned PDF?

    Yes, you can translate PDFs from Japanese to English even when the file is scanned, as long as the text is readable enough for recognition.

    For the best results, scan your pages without any tilt, with good lighting, and clear text. That way, the tool can read everything properly before it starts translating. If a scan comes out crooked or cut off, fix it first and upload again.

  • Is it safe to upload my document?

    You can convert Japanese to English without worrying about your files.

    Every upload runs over an SSL connection, so no one can intercept it in transit. Once your document reaches us, it's stored with AES encryption, the same standard banks rely on for sensitive data. PDF Guru is also regularly checked by Google Safe Browsing, which flags malware, phishing, and other risks before they reach you.

  • Can I translate my whole document?

    Yes, our AI-powered tool translates Japanese documents to English, page by page, while preserving the structure so it's easier to check after download. Very long files may take longer, but the process remains the same.

  • Can I choose the output format?

    Yes, after you translate a PDF from Japanese to English, PDF Guru lets you download the result in one of six supported formats. Choose the version that matches your next task, whether you need to edit, share, archive, or review the translated content. This helps avoid extra conversion steps after translation.

  • Can I translate English to Japanese too?

    Yes, you can get Japanese text too —  our tool works just as well in the other direction.

    Open the language menu, set English as the source and Japanese as the target, and the tool does the rest.
