What DeepL does

DeepL is a translation platform with several language tools built around it. You can paste text, drop in a whole document, or translate speech, and the platform covers 100+ languages. When you upload a file, DeepL translates it while keeping the original layout and formatting, so the translated file looks like the source. Supported files include PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel, as well as images.

For teams that translate the same terms again and again, there are glossaries and shared style rule lists, and the Business plan adds translation memory. Team and higher plans can translate files in bulk. DeepL Write is a separate tool for business writing that adjusts style and tone, and DeepL Voice translates speech in real time during online meetings or face-to-face conversations.

DeepL runs in the browser and has apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android, plus browser extensions and add-ins for Microsoft Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Google Workspace. Developers can use the DeepL API, and it is also reachable from AI assistants via MCP. Admin features such as SSO and SCIM provisioning are available on higher plans.
