Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free?
Yes! The free plan includes 5 operations per day with files up to 50MB. No credit card or signup required. If you need more, our Pro plan offers unlimited operations for just €2.99/year.
Are my files secure?
Absolutely. All file transfers use 256-bit SSL encryption. Your files are processed on our servers and deleted immediately after processing. We never store, read, or share your documents.
What file formats are supported?
PDF Toolkit works exclusively with PDF files (.pdf). All our merge, split, and compress tools accept standard PDF documents. If you need to convert other formats to PDF, we recommend using your operating system's built-in "Print to PDF" feature first.
What are the file size limits?
Free users can upload files up to 50MB each. Pro users enjoy a generous 500MB limit per file. For the merge feature, you can combine up to 5 files at once on the free plan.
Do you store my files?
No. Your files are processed in memory and deleted immediately after the operation is complete. We do not retain any copies of your documents on our servers. Your privacy is guaranteed.
How does Pro pricing work?
Pro costs just €2.99/year and auto-renews annually. You can cancel anytime from your Stripe billing portal — you keep Pro access until the end of your billing period.
