Output preview
The layout should survive the translation
A translated file is only useful if tables, headings and spacing are still where your team expects them. ForgeFile keeps the document structure visible from upload to download.
Formats
File types people actually upload
Not every file is a clean PDF. The useful cases are messy: scanned contracts, spreadsheet tabs, slide decks, subtitles and audio exports from meetings.
Office and PDF
Documents, decks and spreadsheets where layout matters.
Scans and images
Photos, scans and image-heavy PDFs that need text extraction first.
Localization files
Structured text files where keys, timings and markup should stay intact.
