Terms of Service
Review the terms for using free PDFForge tools, including document ownership, responsible use, browser processing limits, and important summary disclaimers.
Updated October 7, 2026. By using PDFForge, you agree to these terms. The website provides free browser-based tools and educational guides for ordinary document tasks. If you do not accept these terms, do not use the tools.
Responsible use and document rights
Process only documents you own or are authorized to use. You are responsible for lawful access, copyright permissions, and compliance with submission requirements or organizational policies. Do not use the tools to evade restrictions, impersonate others, or misrepresent an edited document as an untouched original.
Local processing and service limits
Document processing occurs in your browser. Compatibility, available memory, file complexity, encryption, and tool-specific size limits can affect results. Features may change or be unavailable. Keep original files and review downloads before relying on them. The site does not guarantee uninterrupted service or that every PDF feature will be preserved.
Summaries and AI-labeled tools
The PDF summarizer extracts existing sentences and may omit context or important information. It does not run a generative AI model and cannot verify factual claims. Text-to-PDF and image-to-PDF tools format content you supply; they do not generate prose, images, or OCR text. You remain responsible for reviewing passages, respecting source rights, and following institutional AI policies.
Editing and compression risks
Page changes can affect signatures, forms, bookmarks, links, and accessibility. The compressor rasterizes pages, which can remove searchable text and does not always reduce size. Watermarks are not secure redaction or reliable copy protection. Tools do not certify legal validity, archival compliance, or accessibility.
No professional advice or warranties
Tools and guides are provided as available, without a promise of accuracy or suitability for a particular purpose. Educational content is not legal, medical, financial, or professional advice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, PDFForge is not responsible for losses arising from unverified output or misuse. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Advertising, privacy, and external services
The site includes advertising code and may load analytics or third-party resources. External services have their own terms and privacy practices. Read our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer. Advertising placement is not an endorsement of the advertised product or a request to click advertisements.
Questions and changes
These terms may be updated as the tools or practices change. The date above identifies this version. Use Contact Us for questions or feedback and describe problems without sending confidential documents.
