Prefer to pay as you go?
Buy credits once, use them whenever — no subscription. 1 credit = 1 processed document.
How credits work
1 credit = 1 result
Each server-processed job — a PDF conversion, an OCR scan, a compressed or edited file — uses 1 credit. So a 50-credit pack means 50 processed documents.
Free limits come first
Credits are only spent after your free daily allowance runs out — everyday use stays free.
Never expire, never wasted
Credits have no expiry date, and if a job fails your credit is refunded automatically.

Frequently asked questions
How does the free trial work?+
Every paid plan starts with a 7-day free trial. You get full Premium features immediately, and you won't be charged until the trial ends. Cancel anytime during the trial and you pay nothing.
Is there really a free plan?+
Yes. Every PDF tool is usable for free with a generous daily allowance — merge, split, compress, sign, edit and convert, no account required. You only pay when you need higher volume.
What counts against my daily limit?+
Only server-processed actions — conversions, OCR, compression and edited-file exports. Browsing, previewing and organizing pages never count.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Absolutely. Premium is month-to-month (or annual for a discount). Cancel anytime and you keep access until the end of your billing period — no questions asked.
Do you store my files?+
No. Files are processed securely and removed automatically shortly after processing. We never use your content to train models or share it with third parties.
Which plan should a business choose?+
If you need API access, multiple seats, white-labeling or an SLA, choose Enterprise. For an individual professional, Premium unlocks unlimited conversions, OCR and batch processing.
