About PDFRun

We believe everyone deserves powerful PDF tools — without paywalls, sign-up walls, or watermarks. Ever.

Our Mission

Document freedom for everyone

PDFRun was built out of frustration. We were tired of PDF tools that watermark your files, hide features behind paywalls, or force account creation just to rotate a page.

So we built something different. Every core tool — merge, compress, convert, sign, OCR — is free forever, with no watermarks and no account required. For people who need heavy lifting (very large files, batch processing, saved workspaces, priority queue), an optional Pro plan and pay-as-you-go credits keep the lights on. No tricks, no traps: the free tools stay free.

Editorial standards

How we research, write, and review

Every guide on PDFRun is produced and maintained by the PDFRun Editorial Team, a group of writers and product specialists who work with PDF tooling day to day. Drafts are checked against the actual behaviour of the tools they describe before publishing.

We review and update published articles when tools change or when readers flag something that has drifted out of date — each article shows its publish and last-updated dates so you can judge freshness for yourself.

Where an article cites a number, a limit, or an external requirement, we aim to link the source or describe how we tested it. If you spot an error, email editorial@pdfrun.io and we'll correct it.

Questions about privacy, data, or legal matters go to privacy@pdfrun.io and legal@pdfrun.io. General support: support@pdfrun.io.
