Why PDFCraftor PDF Tools

Built for the way you actually work with PDFs

Every tool is designed for one job done well — not bloated, not slow, not paywalled at the last step.

Fast Processing

Most PDF tasks finish in seconds on average internet speeds, even for files close to the 50 MB limit.

Files are encrypted in transit and auto-deleted within 24 hours. We never view, share or store your documents.

No Software Install

How To Use

2

Upload your PDF

Drag your PDF onto the upload area, or click to browse. Files up to 50 MB are supported.

3

Click the action button. OCR kicks in automatically for scanned files when you choose PDF to Word or Excel.

4

Privacy & Security

Your PDFs are safe with us

PDFs often hold sensitive content — contracts, IDs, bank data, legal records. Here is exactly how PDFCraftor handles them.

SSL Encrypted Upload

Every file transfer happens over HTTPS so nobody in between can read your PDF in transit.

24-hour Auto-deletion

Files are deleted automatically within 24 hours of processing. No backups or archives are kept.

No Human Review

No PDFCraftor employee opens or reviews your files. The pipeline is fully automated end to end.

Isolated Processing

Each PDF runs in an isolated workspace so files never mix with other users' data during conversion.

Built with privacy first

Your PDFs stay yours. We process them, return the output, and erase the originals — that is the whole pipeline.
