Why should I choose ExactPDF over other PDF tools?

ExactPDF processes all files 100% locally in your browser — your documents never leave your device. It is completely free with no task limits, no watermarks, no account required, and works offline and behind corporate firewalls.

Question 2

Does ExactPDF add watermarks to processed PDFs?

Accepted Answer

Never. ExactPDF adds no watermarks to any output — not even on the free plan. Your documents come out exactly as processed, with no branding stamped on them.

Question 3

Can ExactPDF be used behind a corporate firewall or Zscaler?

How do I compress a PDF to a specific size like 500KB or 1MB?
