Our verdict on DeftPDF

DeftPDF is a browser-based PDF suite for people who need to edit, organize, convert, sign, and process documents across web, iOS, and Android. Its tools support adding text, images, links, shapes, and form fields; annotating with highlights, comments, and notes; filling and signing forms; and turning scanned PDFs into searchable PDFs or text files. It suits individuals and teams managing forms, document workflows, and routine PDF operations across devices.

The published plans use annual billing. The Free Plan includes core PDF tools, standard AI in Chat with PDF, and free file-size and batch limits. Pro costs $49.99 per year, displayed as $4.17 per month, and adds PDF text editing, higher per-tool file-size and batch limits, fast AI, and paid template features. Premium costs $199.99 per year and adds premium AI, conversations with up to 10 PDFs, Pro processing limits, and paid template features. Users who need to edit existing PDF text therefore need at least Pro.

Breadth is DeftPDF's defining strength. It handles merging, splitting, compression, cropping, rotation, protection, unlocking, repair, OCR, and conversion between PDF and formats including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, EPUB, and HTML. Google Drive and Dropbox support file import and export, while Google Workspace appears among its integrations. That range fits users who want many document tasks in one service. Those seeking free existing-text editing or larger free limits should look beyond the Free Plan, while users needing a focused PDF tool may find its wide feature set more than necessary.

How long have you used it?

I've used DeftPDF myself and this is my honest opinion — nobody paid or asked me to write it.
