QUESTIONS?

Six tools are completely free and run in your browser. Pro tools have a fixed dollar price, displayed before you process anything. Compress a PDF? $0.79. OCR a scan? $1.29. You see the exact cost upfront, you approve it, and that is all you pay. No tokens, no surprise fees, no math.
Prices are locked in at the moment you start a job. There is nothing to expire because you are not buying a balance or a subscription — you are paying for a specific operation at a specific price, right when you need it.
Because most people edit PDFs occasionally, not daily. Paying $15/month for something you use twice a year is absurd. We charge per use so you only pay when you actually need us. Use us once a year or a hundred times a month — either way, you only pay for what you use.
Six tools are completely free and always will be — they run in your browser with zero cost to us. Pro tools have a clear dollar price per file. You only pay when you actually use a pro tool, and you see the exact cost before you confirm.
Your files are processed and immediately deleted from our servers. We do not store, analyze, or train AI on your documents. Privacy is not a premium feature here — it is the default.
Yes. You can queue multiple operations in one session and pay once at checkout. Each operation is itemized so you see exactly what you are paying for before you confirm.

REAL PEOPLE

Saved $174/year switching from Adobe. I only merge PDFs a few times a month — why was I paying monthly?

Sarah ChenFreelance Designer

Finally, a PDF tool that doesn’t try to trick me into a subscription. Compressed 200+ files for under $120.

Marcus RiveraStartup Founder

As a student, every dollar counts. Under a buck to rotate a PDF vs $15/month? No contest.
