Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions about PDF7. If you can't find what you're looking for, reach us via the contact page.
Is PDF7 really completely free?
Yes. Every tool can be used without an account, without entering card details, with no usage cap. There is no upsell to a paid plan. Revenue comes from ads on the pages.
How are my uploaded files handled?
Your files stay in server memory only for the duration of the operation. They are removed the moment it finishes. Not written to disk, not backed up, not forwarded to third parties, not analysed.
Does PDF7 collect personal information?
No. Accounts, emails or personal data are not required. Anonymous usage statistics (such as how often a tool is used) may be collected, but this data does not contain personal identifiers.
Are PDF7.org and pdf7.app the same company?
No, they are completely separate. PDF7.org is an independent project; there is no shared ownership, code or business structure with pdf7.app, pdf7.com or any other similarly named site. More info.
What file size limit applies?
Most tools allow up to 150 MB per file; some allow more. Each tool shows its own limit clearly on its page.
Is there a watermark?
No. Output files contain no PDF7 brand, logo or watermark. The output is a natural continuation of your input.
Does it run in my browser or on the server?
Currently most tools run on the server (in temporary memory, then deleted). Some tools already run in the browser. Our goal is to migrate more tools into the browser — the fastest and safest approach.
Which browsers are supported?
Modern versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge are fully supported. Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Android Chrome) work as well.
Can I trust my PDF files are secure?
Yes. All files are sent over HTTPS and remain only in temporary memory for the duration of processing. Files are not forwarded to any other service or analysed. For independent security audits see our Independence page, where you can view our Qualys SSL Labs A+ report and VirusTotal scan.
Can I request permission for bulk/programmatic use?
If you have heavy or automated usage in mind, reach out via the contact page. We can usually find an arrangement that works.
My output looks wrong or unexpected — what should I do?
Report it through the contact page. We log unexpected results and address fixes in order.
Can I support PDF7 with a donation?
A donation channel is planned (through independent platforms such as Buy Me a Coffee or Patreon). Funds will go entirely to infrastructure: stronger servers, higher limits, more tools.
