What is DeepL?
DeepL is an AI translation platform that translates text, files, media and speech in more than 100 languages. Its Translator product handles typed text and whole documents in common formats while keeping their layout, with glossaries, style rules and tone control. DeepL Write helps improve writing style and tone, and DeepL Voice translates speech in real time for virtual meetings and in-person conversations.
You can use DeepL on the web, in desktop apps for Windows and macOS, in mobile apps for Android, iPhone and iPad, and through browser extensions and add-ins for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It also connects to AI assistants such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude through MCP. Developers can use the DeepL API to add translation to their own systems.
DeepL has a free version with monthly limits. Its paid plans cover individuals, teams and enterprises that need higher volumes, admin controls and stronger security.
