A calmer place to work with your PDFs.
Pdfly is an indie product designed, coded and shipped by a single developer. No VC. No growth hacks. Just one obsession — making PDF workflows feel effortless.
Built out of frustration.
I kept bouncing between five different websites just to merge a PDF, compress it, sign it and send it. Every one of them was covered in ads, gated behind signups, or slower than a fax machine from 2004.
So I built the tool I wished existed: one clean home for every PDF task, respectful of your time and your privacy. Most operations run locally in your browser using WebAssembly — which means faster results, and files that never leave your device.
Pdfly is still very much a solo project. If you spot a bug, want a new feature, or just want to say hi, get in touch — I read every single message.
What Pdfly stands for
A short list of promises I try to keep with every feature I ship.
Privacy first
Whenever possible, files are processed in your browser and never uploaded. What’s yours stays yours.
Ridiculously fast
Every tool is engineered to feel instant — no queues, no ads, no bloat.
Free forever
The core tools stay free with no watermarks and no signup. Pro exists only to fund the servers.
Crafted, not assembled
Every pixel, animation and copy line is hand-tuned. No templates, no shortcuts.
Have an idea? I’m all ears.
The best features on Pdfly have come from user emails. Yours could be next.
