Support

Need help with a tool, or have a question about your account? We're happy to help -- most questions are answered below; if yours isn't, reach out and we'll get back to you.

Getting Started

Is PDF Utility free to use?

Yes. Every tool is free to use. Guest visitors can process a limited number of files at a time; creating a free account raises those limits.

Do I need to create an account?

No, most tools work without signing up. An account just unlocks higher file limits. You can sign up with an email and password, or sign in directly with Google.

What file types are supported?

This depends on the tool -- for example, JPG to PDF accepts JPG/PNG images, while PDF to Word/PowerPoint, Merge, Split, and the others accept PDF files. Each tool's page shows exactly what it accepts and any file-size limit.

Files & Privacy

Is my file safe? Do you keep a copy?

Files are processed only to perform the operation you requested and are deleted automatically afterward -- most tools delete both your upload and the result as soon as your download completes; the Edit PDF tool keeps a working copy for up to 2 hours to support your editing session, then deletes it. See our Privacy Policy for the full details.

Do you look at, share, or sell what's in my files?

No. Your files are used only to perform the operation you asked for -- nothing else, and nothing is used to train AI models.

Can I trust a tool with a password-protected or confidential PDF?

Files are transmitted over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and deleted shortly after processing as described above. If a document is highly sensitive, that's worth weighing before uploading it to any online tool, including this one.

Using the Tools

A tool isn't working, or my converted file looks wrong. What should I do?

Complex or unusual PDFs -- scanned documents, heavily designed layouts, unusual fonts, or password-protected files -- can sometimes convert imperfectly. Try the tool again first; if it still doesn't look right, contact us with details: which tool, roughly what kind of file (a scan, a design file, a form, etc.), and what went wrong. That's usually enough for us to reproduce and fix it.

Why was my upload rejected or limited?

Guest accounts have a lower file-size/page limit than logged-in accounts, shown on each tool's page. If you hit that limit, creating a free account is the quickest fix.

I found a bug, or have an idea for a new tool.

We'd like to hear about it -- contact us below with as much detail as you can (what you were doing, what you expected, what happened instead).

Account

I forgot my password / can't log in.

Use the "Log in" page's password reset option if you registered with an email and password. If you originally signed up with Google, use the "Log in with Google" button instead of a password.

How do I delete my account?

Contact us below and we'll take care of it, including deleting your account information as described in our Privacy Policy.
