Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about PDF Legacy — the privacy-first AI PDF suite.
Yes — and we mean it. PDF Legacy's core tools including Merge, Split, Compress, Rotate, Sign, Watermark, and 20+ more are completely free with no account required and no hidden limits. Our AI tools — Chat, Summarizer, Translator, Grammar Fixer, and OCR — are available on the free tier with daily limits (e.g., AI Chat: 3/day, AI Summarizer: 2/day). Need more? Pro Mastery at $5.99/month gives you up to 500 AI operations per month with unlimited file sizes and zero ads.
Great question. Here's the honest answer: iLovePDF and Smallpdf upload every file you process to their servers — even for simple tasks like merging. Adobe Acrobat costs $19.99/month just for basic features. PDF Legacy is built on a Privacy-First Architecture. Core tools like Merge, Split, and Compress run entirely inside your browser — your files never touch our servers. AI tools use encrypted zero-retention processing. And you get started for free — no credit card, no account needed. Same power. More privacy. Fraction of the cost.
PDF Legacy is one of the safest online PDF tools available — and here's exactly why: For core tools (Merge, Split, Compress, Sign, Rotate, etc.) — your files are processed 100% locally inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your document never leaves your device. Not even for a millisecond. For AI tools (Summarizer, Chat, Translator) — your content is transmitted via 256-bit HTTPS encryption to our AI engine, processed instantly, and permanently deleted. We follow a strict Zero Retention Policy — no storage, no logging, no AI training on your data. PDF Legacy is trusted for legal contracts, financial reports, medical records, and confidential business documents.
Free tier users can process files up to 25MB for AI-powered tools like AI Summarizer and PDF to Word conversion. Core tools like Merge, Split, and Compress have no strict file size limit on the free tier since they run locally in your browser. Pro Mastery users get unlimited file sizes for all AI tools — perfect for large reports, books, and enterprise documents.
Yes. PDF Legacy supports free PDF conversion to Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), JPG, PNG, and PDF/A — with no watermarks added to your output files. Free tier users get 3 PDF-to-Word conversions per day (25MB limit). Pro Mastery users get 200 conversions per month with unlimited file sizes.
Extremely accurate. Our AI Summarizer is built for professional use cases — legal contracts, academic research papers, financial reports, and technical documentation. Unlike basic summarizers that extract random sentences, PDF Legacy's AI understands document structure and context to deliver precise, human-readable summaries in seconds. Free users get 2 summarizations per day (25MB). Pro users get 200 per month (unlimited file size).
Yes. PDF Legacy's Smart OCR tool converts scanned PDFs, photographed documents, and image-based files into fully searchable, editable, and copy-paste-ready text. It accurately handles multi-column layouts, complex tables, mixed languages, and even low-quality scans. Free users get 3 OCR operations per day. Pro Mastery users get 200 per month.
No. PDF Legacy uses intelligent lossless and adaptive compression algorithms that reduce file size significantly — often by 60-80% — while keeping images visually sharp and all text perfectly readable and selectable. Unlike basic compression tools that destroy image quality, PDF Legacy gives you full control over compression level so you decide the balance between size and quality.
No account is needed for any of PDF Legacy's 25+ core PDF tools. Open the tool, upload your file, and get your result instantly — no signup, no email, no credit card. An account is only required to use AI-powered features (Summarizer, Chat, Translator, Grammar Fixer, OCR) and to manage your Pro Mastery subscription.
Pro Mastery at $5.99/month is designed for professionals, students, researchers, and teams who work with documents daily. Here's exactly what you get: — AI Chat: 500 sessions/month — AI Summarizer: 200 documents/month — AI Translator: 100 documents/month — AI Grammar Fixer: 300 documents/month — OCR PDF: 200 documents/month — PDF to Word: 200 conversions/month — Zero Ads — completely ad-free experience — Maximum Priority Speed — your files process first If you use PDF tools more than 3 times a day, Pro Mastery pays for itself instantly. At $5.99/month — that's less than one coffee.
