Free PDF tools for commercial use

There isn't a paid plan for businesses. There isn't a separate enterprise tier. There isn't a per-seat licence. The free product is the entire product, and it's the same product whether one person uses it occasionally or a team uses it every day.

Every file you produce is clean — no watermark, no metadata branding, no cover page injected by us. The split, merged, burst or compressed PDF can ship to a client or be filed alongside your other corporate documents without explanation.

Files are processed in your browser using WebAssembly. They don't leave your device. That matters for legal, financial, medical, and HR documents where uploading to a third party would be a confidentiality risk.

There isn't a team plan because there doesn't need to be one. Every member of the team uses the same free tools the same way. The only per-user step is the free account at download time, which is one signup per person regardless of how many files they process.

If you're trying to figure out whether you're allowed to use PDF Pelican on client work, contract drafting, agency deliverables, or anything else you'll bill for: yes. The terms of service permit commercial use without a separate licence, fee, or per-seat charge. The output PDFs are yours, free of any obligation to attribute PDF Pelican, embed our branding, or notify us. You can ship them to clients, file them in your company's document management system, or fold them into a paid product.

We say this plainly because plenty of similar sites bury commercial restrictions in dense legal text and then surface them only when you've already integrated the tool into a workflow. We'd rather you find out up front that nothing is going to change later.

Freelance designers compressing client deliverables before email. Lawyers extracting signature pages from agreements. Accountants merging monthly statements into quarterly packs. Recruiters bursting CV bundles into individual candidate PDFs. Property managers splitting lease packs by tenant. All of these are commercial uses — all of them are fine on the free tier.

Because nothing is uploaded to a PDF Pelican server, you don't need a data-processing agreement with us to handle confidential documents in our tools. Your IT team can verify with developer tools that no document bytes leave the browser. That's a much simpler compliance story than 'we promise we delete your files after an hour'.
