Transparent, Fair Pricing for Every Need

Choose the plan that matches your document conversion requirements - from occasional personal use to high-volume professional workflows.

Our Pricing Philosophy: Accessible Security for Everyone

PDFConvert.it operates on a freemium model designed to keep professional-grade PDF conversion accessible to everyone while supporting continued platform development and security infrastructure. Unlike competitors who charge per conversion or require expensive software licenses, we believe document security and quality conversion should be available to students, job seekers, and professionals alike.

How Our Ad-Supported Free Tier Works: Advertisements from Google AdSense enable us to offer unlimited conversions at no cost to casual users. Ad revenue covers server infrastructure, security maintenance, and ongoing feature development without requiring subscription fees. This model ensures anyone can convert important documents securely when needed - whether that's a student formatting a resume, a homeowner converting rental applications, or a freelancer preparing client deliverables.

Why Business Tier Exists: Professional users converting multiple large files daily benefit from faster processing without ad interruptions and gain access to document translation capabilities essential for international business. At $5/month, Business tier pricing reflects the actual cost of supporting larger file processing and translation API fees, making it affordable for sole proprietors while remaining budget-friendly for small businesses and growing organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our free tier is completely free forever - no hidden fees, no credit card required, and no conversion limits. We partner with Google AdSense to display advertisements that generate revenue covering our infrastructure costs, allowing us to offer professional PDF conversion at no charge.

What You Get Free: Full access to all conversion formats (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images to PDF and back), files up to 16MB, the same enterprise-grade security as paying customers, drag-and-drop upload interface, mobile-responsive design, and unlimited conversions. The free tier handles 95% of common document conversion needs for students, job seekers, and occasional users.

About Advertisements: Ads appear only on the homepage and pricing page - not during conversion or on result pages. We've designed ad placement to be minimally intrusive while ensuring conversion workflows remain fast and focused. Free users see the exact same quality output as Business subscribers; the only differences are ad presence, file size limits, and lack of translation features.

Business tier transforms PDFConvert.it into a professional productivity tool for $5/month:

100MB File Limit: Process large presentations with embedded media, high-resolution architectural scans, detailed spreadsheets with extensive data, and multi-page reports that exceed free tier limits. This accommodates professional workflows requiring comprehensive document handling.

Ad-Free Experience: Completely remove all advertisements for distraction-free document processing. Important for client-facing work where professional appearance matters and for personal productivity where time is money.

Document Translation (50+ Languages): Translate converted PDFs into Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, Italian, Korean, and 40+ additional languages. Perfect for international business, multilingual marketing materials, global client communications, and cross-border documentation. Translation preserves formatting, images, and document structure.

Priority Support: Get faster responses to technical questions and conversion issues. Business users receive priority in our support queue with typical response times under 24 hours.

ROI Analysis: At $5/month ($60/year), Business tier costs less than Adobe Acrobat ($180/year) or Microsoft Office PDF export licenses while providing superior security through in-memory processing. For professionals converting 20+ documents monthly, the time savings from ad-free workflow and large file support alone justifies the investment.

Yes - security architecture is identical across all tiers. We never compromise data privacy based on subscription level.

Both Free and Business Users Receive:

  • In-Memory Processing: Files never touch disk storage; processing happens entirely in volatile RAM that physically erases when processes end
  • Automatic Deletion: Immediate file destruction through process termination rather than scheduled cleanup scripts
  • HTTPS Encryption: TLS 1.3 with 256-bit encryption for all file transfers
  • No Logging: We don't record file contents, names, or metadata at any subscription level
  • No Third-Party Access: Your documents never leave our secure processing environment

Security is fundamental to our service, not a premium feature. Whether you're a student converting a resume or a law firm processing confidential contracts, the same enterprise-grade privacy protection applies. Your subscription tier determines convenience features (file size, ads, translation) but never compromises the core security promise: your documents remain private and automatically deleted.

Business subscribers can translate documents across 50+ languages powered by Google Translate API:

Major Language Support: Spanish (Español), French (Français), German (Deutsch), Chinese Simplified and Traditional (中文), Japanese (日本語), Russian (Русский), Arabic (العربية), Portuguese (Português), Italian (Italiano), Korean (한국어), Hindi (हिन्दी), Dutch (Nederlands), Polish (Polski), Turkish (Türkçe), Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), and many more.

How Translation Works: Upload your document, convert to PDF if necessary, then select target language for translation. Our system extracts text content, translates through Google's neural machine translation, and reconstructs the PDF maintaining original formatting, images, headers, and footers. Charts and diagrams remain in place while text converts to your selected language.

Translation Quality: We use Google's latest neural translation engine that provides human-quality results for common language pairs. Complex technical documents, legal contracts, or specialized terminology may require professional human review, but translation provides excellent starting point for localization workflows.

Use Cases: International marketing materials, multilingual product documentation, translated proposals for foreign clients, localized training materials, cross-border legal documents, academic research papers, and immigrant documentation services. Business tier translation eliminates the need for separate translation service subscriptions.

Yes, cancel anytime with no penalties, fees, or complicated procedures. We believe subscriptions should be flexible and customer-controlled, not traps requiring hoops to escape.

Cancellation Process: Access your account settings, click "Manage Subscription," and select "Cancel Subscription." The cancellation processes immediately - no waiting periods, retention attempts, or forced feedback surveys. The entire process takes under 30 seconds.

What Happens After Cancellation: You retain full Business tier access (ad-free experience, 100MB uploads, document translation, priority support) through the end of your current billing period. If you paid on January 15th and cancel on January 20th, you keep Business features until February 15th. After your billing period ends, your account automatically converts to the free tier - you don't lose your account or conversion history.

Resubscribing: Changed your mind? Reactivate Business tier instantly from your account page. Your previous preferences and settings restore immediately. No penalty for canceling then returning - we want subscribers who find genuine value, not users trapped by inconvenience.

No Data Loss: Cancellation doesn't delete your account, conversion history, or preferences. You simply return to free tier access levels. Re-upgrade whenever your document conversion needs change.

File size limits determine the maximum upload size for individual files, not total storage or monthly limits.

Free Tier (16MB Limit): This accommodates typical Word documents up to 100-200 pages with images, PowerPoint presentations with 30-50 slides, Excel spreadsheets with moderate data sets, and standard-resolution scanned documents. Most business documents, academic papers, resumes, reports, and everyday PDFs fall well within this limit. For reference, a typical business proposal with graphics is 3-8MB; a detailed resume with portfolio images is 2-5MB.

Business Tier (100MB Limit): Handles professional photography portfolios, architectural drawings, high-resolution scanned legal documents, presentations with embedded video clips, complex engineering diagrams, medical imaging compilations, and large data-heavy spreadsheets. This tier eliminates file size anxiety for professional workflows.

No Monthly Caps: Upload as many files as needed within size limits. Convert 5 files today, 50 tomorrow, none next week - your choice. We don't throttle conversions or impose artificial monthly quotas.

Reducing File Size: If your file exceeds limits, try compressing images in the source document, removing embedded videos (link them instead), splitting multi-document PDFs into separate files, or see our optimization guides for detailed file size reduction techniques.
