About PDFKit
PDFKit is a free online PDF toolkit designed to make working with documents fast, simple, and private. No installs. No hidden fees. No uploading files to questionable services.
Our mission
PDF tools have been around for decades, yet most of them are slow, expensive, or cluttered with dark patterns. We built PDFKit to be the tool we always wanted — one that works instantly in the browser, respects your privacy, and doesn't charge you for basic operations everyone needs.
As AI becomes part of every document workflow, we've extended PDFKit with Gemini-powered features: chat with any PDF, generate instant summaries, and translate documents into 10+ languages. These AI features are available on paid plans, which fund the free tier for everyone else.
20+ PDF tools, all free
From merging and splitting to OCR and watermarking — every core tool is available to everyone at no cost.
AI-powered workflows
Chat with, summarize, and translate PDF documents using Gemini AI — features built for the way knowledge workers actually use PDFs.
Privacy by default
Files are processed in memory and deleted immediately after download. We never store, sell, or share your documents.
Fast and reliable
Built on Next.js and deployed globally, PDFKit processes documents in seconds without queues or slow batch processing.
