Online PDF Tool Reviews

We read every online PDF tool's own pricing page and tool FAQs for one thing: how many documents the free tier will actually process before it stops, and whether the file it hands back is a normal, unmarked document.

What we check here

On the free tier, how many documents can you process before it stops — and does the file come back clean?

Every number carries the date we read it, and anything the vendor does not state is left blank rather than estimated. The full procedure is on the Methodology.

• How many PDFs can you actually process for free?

  Smallpdf, iLovePDF and Adobe all cap their free tiers and none of them publishes the number. PDF24 is the only one of the four that says outright there is no cap.
