About
Immersive Translate is a next-generation AI translation platform that breaks language barriers across multiple content types—websites, PDFs, videos, images, and comics—all from one unified tool. Trusted by over 10 million users globally, it pioneered a side-by-side bilingual layout for web pages, letting readers view original and translated content simultaneously without losing context. PDF translation preserves original formatting and layout, making it ideal for academic papers, research reports, and technical documents. Video subtitle translation works seamlessly with YouTube, Netflix, and other platforms directly in the browser, while image translation handles manga panels, screenshots, and social media posts in real time. The platform integrates over 20 leading AI translation engines—including OpenAI ChatGPT, DeepL, DeepSeek, and Google Gemini—and supports more than 100 language pairs. AI terminology libraries and context-aware translation deliver accurate, fluent results across domains from medicine to software engineering. Designed for students, researchers, developers, content creators, and cross-border professionals, Immersive Translate is available as browser extensions for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, and as iOS and Android mobile apps. A free tier covers core functionality, while the Pro plan unlocks advanced AI engines and higher usage limits.
