Free PDF tools that respect your time and privacy
PDFOrca is a small, focused tool we built because we wanted PDF utilities that don't hide essential features behind paywalls or ship our files to opaque third parties.
Our Mission
Make essential PDF work fast, free, and private
Most PDF websites bury basic features behind subscriptions, riddle their pages with ads, or quietly send your files to servers you don't know. We don't. Every core tool here is free, every file is deleted within an hour, and we never sell user data.
We focus on the tools people actually use day to day — merge, split, compress, convert — and we keep the interface uncluttered so you can finish what you came for in seconds.
What we stand for
A short list of things we won't compromise on
Privacy by default
Your files are processed in temporary memory and auto-deleted within 1 hour. No backups. No tracking pixels. No selling data.
Free as our default tier
Every essential PDF tool is free with no signup wall. Paid tiers (when launched) only unlock larger files and priority processing.
Built for India and the world
Native Hindi interface, support for Indian document types (Aadhaar, government forms), and pricing in INR. We work hard for users underserved by US-first tools.
AI used responsibly
Our AI features run on Groq (cloud) with a local HuggingFace fallback. Document text is sent for analysis, never the file itself, and never used for training.
How it started
PDFOrca began as a side project to scratch a personal itch. The big PDF sites all had the same pattern: free for two operations, then a paywall — or worse, low-quality output that nudged you toward upgrading.
We built our own. Then made it Hindi-friendly. Then added AI summarization because students kept asking for it. Today the platform runs on a small VPS in Europe with users from 30+ countries — most of them in India.
We are a tiny team, often a one-person operation. We respond to email personally and we ship updates frequently. If you have feedback or hit a bug, we genuinely want to hear it.
