Questions about pdf tools

Are these PDF tools really free?

Yes. Every PDF tool can be used for free every day. A PDF Tools plan removes the daily limit and raises the file-size cap to 1 GB.

Is it safe to use online PDF tools for contracts and statements?

Here it is: PDFs are processed by your own browser and never uploaded to a server, so nobody — including us — can see them.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word?

Scanned PDFs are images of text. Run them through OCR PDF first to recognise the text, then convert or copy it.
