What it does

DeepL is an AI tool for translating text and writing articles and blog posts. It has a free plan.

DeepL is a language AI platform centered on machine translation. It translates text, documents, images, and speech into more than 100 languages, and it offers an API for teams that need to put translation into their own systems. Users can paste text, drag files into the web app or Windows app, or use integrations. Document translation keeps tables, headings, and page structure in place, and supports formats such as PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, HTML, and subtitle files. Paid plans add glossaries, translation memories, style and tone rules, larger files, and more monthly capacity. DeepL Voice handles real-time speech translation, and the optional Write Pro add-on works on business writing. A free account offers limited text and file translation. Higher tiers add administration, analytics, single sign-on, and larger or unlimited usage depending on the plan. The API is available for developers, and the main apps run on the web and Windows.
