Why a new PDF site in 2026

Adobe Acrobat is the bar most people still measure against, and it costs $19.99 a month. The web alternatives are cheaper but slower, with AI bolted on as an afterthought. We rebuilt every tool from scratch — faster than Acrobat, the AI baked in from day one, and the whole thing fits in a $2.99 / month bracket.

The AI features aren't a separate product. Chat, summarize, OCR fallback, and signature-field detection feed off the same router as the rest of the tools — when the AI provider gets cheaper, every user feels it the same week.

Built in Bangladesh

We're a small team in Dhaka. Distance from Silicon Valley is a feature: salary maths are different, so we can charge $2.99 without venture money pushing us to "growth at all costs" pricing.

It's also a constraint. We can't out-spend the legacy crowd on sales teams or Google Ads. So the product has to be visibly faster, AI-native, and priced low enough that the recommendation moves laterally on its own.

How we make money

Pro subscriptions at $2.99 / mo (annual) or $4.99 / mo (monthly). No ads. No data resale. No "free with a watermark" upsells. The free tier exists so first-time users don't have to sign up to know if a tool works.

Why it's fast

Most PDF sites are wrappers around scripting languages that weren't built for heavy file work. We built our compute layer from scratch in a systems language, deployed close to your users, and shipped a static marketing surface that scores 95+ on Lighthouse mobile. The result: compress runs ~2× faster than the cheap competitors, and page loads beat Acrobat's web portal handily.

Roadmap

33 tools live today, two more shipping shortly to reach the full 35-tool catalog. The inline editor (the marquee feature) is now at Stage 4 of 5 — you can edit existing text in any PDF in place. The API is in closed beta. Native desktop and mobile apps follow once the web editor reaches Acrobat parity.
