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

Every tool is live today (the full 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.
