No account needed for the free tools. Pay once for a day, or go Pro for less than a coffee a month.
Ask questions about a contract, summarize a report or pull figures into Excel. AI is charged on what each request actually costs, so a quick question uses a few credits. Credits also cover extra tasks beyond the free daily limit. They never expire.

No. Every free tool works without signing up, and you can buy a Day Pass or credits without an account too. A free account doubles your daily free tasks and keeps your files.
One conversion or one tool run: converting a file, merging, splitting, compressing, protecting, unlocking, OCR, and so on. Opening and reading PDFs is free and unlimited.
Credits pay for AI (questions, summaries, extraction, comparisons) and for tasks beyond the free daily limit (2 credits each). AI is charged on what each request actually costs, so short questions cost a few credits and long documents a little more. Purchased credits never expire.
Right after paying, pdftek offers to save your purchase to an account: just add a password. If you skipped that and changed devices or cleared your browser, use "Restore a purchase" on the sign-in page with the email you used at checkout.
24 hours of everything in Pro: unlimited tasks, files up to 100 MB, editing, read aloud and e-signatures, plus 50 AI credits. It doesn't renew.
Yes. Cancel from Settings → Billing in one click; Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
Files are encrypted in transit, never sold or used to train AI, and files from visitors without an account are deleted after 24 hours.
