An independent document toolkit.
Built in Canada.
PDFwarp is a document toolkit that combines the PDF utilities people actually use every day with genuinely useful AI-powered features — delivered with a clear privacy model and pricing that doesn't punish you for using the product.
Who we are
PDFwarp is an independent software company based in Alberta, Canada, founded in 2026. We built a single platform at pdfwarp.com that combines PDF utilities, Office conversion, image tools, and AI-powered document features. No downloads, no installations, no enterprise contracts — works on any device, and processes files on our servers.
We're a small operation, and that's deliberate. We're not trying to be the biggest PDF tool provider on the internet. We're focused on doing a specific set of things well: processing files quickly, handling user data carefully, and making advanced AI document features available at a price that regular people — not just enterprise buyers — can afford.
Why PDFwarp exists
The online PDF tool space has become, frankly, a mess. A typical search for "compress PDF" or "merge PDF" surfaces a wall of nearly identical websites covered in ads, filled with dark patterns, requiring account creation for tasks that should take five seconds, storing uploaded files for indefinite periods on infrastructure nobody can audit. The few well-regarded paid options are aimed at enterprise customers and cost between $15 and $30 per month, with basic features locked behind their highest tiers.
PDFwarp was built because we wanted something different. A single site that covers the full range of common PDF operations people actually need — merge, split, compress, rotate, reorder, protect, unlock, convert between formats — combined with a growing set of genuinely useful AI tools, delivered transparently and priced fairly. Free for casual use, $9 a month for unlimited access to everything.
What we offer
Our toolkit currently includes 33 tools across five categories. The 19 free tools cover the PDF and document operations people need most often: merging and splitting PDFs, compressing files to email size, converting to and from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and plain text, rotating and reordering pages, password protecting sensitive documents, unlocking PDFs you have the password for, converting between image formats including HEIC from iPhones, converting HTML and Markdown to PDF, and converting CSV to Excel and back.
The 13 AI tools — available on the $9/month Pro plan along with unlimited free tool usage and a PDF Editor — handle more advanced document work: summarizing long PDFs in seconds, chatting with documents to find specific information, translating to 29 languages while preserving structure, redacting sensitive data automatically, comparing two document versions, analyzing contracts in plain English, extracting structured data into spreadsheets, generating professional documents from prompts, generating invoices, checking originality, extracting text from scanned PDFs using vision AI, and automatically classifying documents by type.
How your data is handled
Files uploaded to PDFwarp are processed on our servers. We don't run a cloud storage bucket for user files, we don't index their contents for search, and we don't share uploaded documents with third parties — except that AI tools send document content to xAI. We don't keep them for later use.
We do keep minimal operational data to run the service: account information for signed-in users, daily conversion counts for rate limiting, and standard server logs (with IP addresses pseudonymized to country codes where possible). We don't log the contents of your documents. Our full data handling practices — including server location, retention periods, and your rights — are documented in our Privacy Policy.
AI features use xAI for language processing. Document content is transmitted to xAI for the analysis request. xAI does not train on API data without explicit permission; by default requests may be retained for up to 30 days for abuse auditing. If you need to avoid sending document content to a third-party AI provider, use our non-AI tools — none of the 19 free tools or the PDF Editor contact xAI or any other AI service.
What we believe
Privacy-minded by design
We don't run a cloud storage bucket, we don't index file contents, and we don't sell or share your documents. Every uploaded file is processed on our servers. We don't keep them for later use. Our technical details are in our Privacy Policy.
No friction where there doesn't need to be any
You should not need an account to merge two PDFs. Guests get 2 free conversions per day with no signup. A free account raises that to 5 per day. No email drip campaigns, no dark patterns, no 14-day trial that quietly converts to paid.
Real AI features, not novelty
AI is used where it genuinely saves time — summarizing long reports, translating documents while preserving meaning, extracting structured data, analyzing contracts in plain English, reading scanned pages accurately. Every AI feature is something you'd otherwise do manually in thirty minutes to an hour.
Pricing that makes sense
One Pro plan at $9 USD per month. Every tool, unlimited conversions, full AI suite. Cancel any time with one click. No enterprise tier to upgrade to, no feature-shaving across four pricing bands. What you pay is what you pay.
