About Linnk.AI
What Is Linnk.AI
Linnk.AI is a web workspace for people who read documents in languages they do not speak well. Feed it a research paper, a contract, or a scanned exhibit, and it returns a translated copy that keeps your tables, equations, and page structure where they were. Ask a follow-up question in your own language and the answer points back to the passage it came from.
The problem it targets is the reading gap, not the writing gap. Machine translation already handles a paragraph. What usually breaks is the document around that paragraph: a two-column paper comes back as a single column of soup, footnotes detach from their references, and an equation turns into a line of symbols. Linnk's pitch is that its vision models read a page the way you do, so the rebuilt page still looks like the page you sent.
Two limits shape the fit. It is a reading and translation tool, not an editing suite, so you cannot expect it to rewrite your own drafts or typeset a new paper. Translation quality also depends on the source; dense legal or mathematical text with unusual notation will need a human check before you cite it.
Getting Started
- Open linnk.ai and drop in a file or paste a URL. The free preview needs no account, and PDF, DOCX, PPTX, EPUB, SRT, and 40 other formats are accepted.
- Pick a target language from 154 options. Leave the source on auto detect if you are not sure what language the document is in.
- Watch the browser render the translated page. You get a layout faithful visual version next to a clean text version.
- Ask the research assistant questions about the document in your own language, and follow the citations back to the paragraph they came from.
- Sign up when you need more than the preview. File credits, page limits, and the advanced models arrive with a paid plan.

Key features
Translate PDFs Without Losing the Layout
Linnk reads the structure of a page before it rewrites any words. Columns stay columns, tables keep their cells, and formulas come back as formulas rather than a line of loose symbols. Every translation produces two outputs side by side, a visual version that mirrors the original design and a clean text version you can copy from.
Vision Models That Skip OCR
Scanned PDFs, photographed pages, and handwritten margin notes go straight to a vision language model, so there is no separate OCR pass to lose the text. That matters for stamped exhibits, older forms, and documents where the scan quality is the only copy you have.
AI Research Assistant
Chat with a document in your own language and get answers tied to the source passage. You can ask what method a section uses, pull a definition, or push the assistant to compare two arguments in the same paper. The point is that you verify a claim by clicking the citation, not by trusting the summary.
Mindmaps and Knowledge Discovery
The tool builds a document to mindmap view, mapping the concepts inside a file and drawing the links between them as an interactive map. It suits the moment before you write, when you need to see how the parts of a long report hang together.
Multilingual Library Search
Translated files land in a personal library you can search by meaning rather than by keyword. For a researcher juggling papers in several languages, that turns a folder of files into something closer to a question answering corpus.
Wide Format and Language Coverage
More than 50 input formats are supported, from PDF and DOCX to EPUB, LaTeX, SRT, and images. Translation runs across 154 languages and dialects, with an option to add a custom target when your variant is not on the list.
Browser Extensions and CLI
Extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge summarize and translate pages without leaving the tab. A command line tool covers batch work, and its first document is free up to 20 pages with no account or API key.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Layout preservation is the real differentiator. Translated papers and contracts stay readable and citable instead of turning into unformatted text.
- The free preview needs no signup, so you can test one document before paying anything.
- 154 languages and over 50 input formats cover most of what a multilingual reader runs into.
- Side by side review and citations make the output checkable, which matters for legal and academic use.
- Files are deleted after 72 hours on the free tier and never used for model training.
Cons
- File credits are shared between translation and conversion, and a scanned file costs four credits instead of one. A heavy scan workflow burns through a mid tier plan quickly.
- Five MB is the ceiling for image uploads, and the cheaper tiers cap files at 20 MB or 50 pages, so long books need splitting.
- There is no public API documented for outside developers, so automation beyond the CLI depends on what the team offers.
- Output quality still tracks the source. Unusual notation or poor scans will need a human pass before you rely on the result.
Frequently asked questions
