HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. Zero code.

Set up a workflow once. Reuse it forever.
01

Upload Your Files

Drop in one file or an entire folder. pdfAssistant handles any volume — from a single contract to thousands of invoices.
02

Build Your Workflow

Choose from 40+ PDF operations — compress, merge, extract, redact, convert, watermark, and more. Chain them into a reusable workflow.
03

Run at Any Scale

Process one file or ten thousand with the same workflow. Save it to your account and reuse it whenever your batch arrives.
SECURITY & TRUST

Your documents are yours. Period.

Enterprise-grade security and privacy built into every tier — not just the expensive ones.

Your files, encrypted end-to-end

Every upload and download is protected with TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest. No one — including us — reads your documents.

Auto-deleted after processing

Files are automatically deleted from our servers within 24 hours of processing. We don't keep copies, archives, or backups of your content.

Never used to train AI

Your documents are never used to train models — ours or anyone else's. AI features run on isolated, privacy-preserving infrastructure.

SOC 2 Type 2 audited

SOC 2 Type 2 means our security controls have been independently audited over time — not just claimed.
AI STUDIO

Need a one-off task done? Just describe it.

AI Studio lets you chat with your PDFs or build new ones from scratch — securely. No uploads to third-party AI. No data used for training. Just your documents, processed and gone in 24 hours.

Analyze any PDF — summarize, extract key terms, and pull insights
Build new PDFs from scratch — just describe what you need
Full 40+ operation library — same power as workflows, no setup required

Common questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

pdfAssistant is your intelligent partner for all things documents. It's a cutting-edge service that transforms how you interact with PDFs and other file formats. No more clicking through menus or learning complex software! Just chat with your friendly AI Assistant using simple, natural language commands. Effortlessly create, update, optimize, and process your documents—whether you're merging, compressing, converting, or much more. With pdfAssistant, getting your document work done is as easy as a conversation.

pdfAssistant is built for anyone who works with documents—anywhere, at any scale. Whether you’re:

  • An individual managing personal files
  • A student or educator organizing assignments
  • A small business handling contracts and invoices
  • An enterprise processing thousands of documents daily

pdfAssistant adapts to your needs. It’s trusted by global professionals in legal, healthcare, finance, education, HR, logistics, government, and more. If you want to save time, reduce errors, and simplify your document workflows, pdfAssistant is for you.

pdfAssistant stands alone in three key ways:

  • AI-Powered Document Processing from Natural Language:
    Unlike traditional PDF tools that require navigating complex menus, pdfAssistant lets you describe what you want in plain language. The AI understands your intent and executes powerful document processing steps—merging, converting, compressing, securing, and more.

  • Beyond “Chat with Your PDF”:
    Most AI PDF services only let you ask questions about your document’s content. pdfAssistant does that—and so much more. Not only can you chat with your PDF to extract insights, summaries, or translations, but you can also instruct the AI to take real action: split, merge, redact, convert, add watermarks, and automate entire workflows.

  • Multi-Format Content Creation:
    Generic AI chatbots can answer questions, but pdfAssistant can take the results of your conversation and instantly generate professional documents in PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more. You get both the intelligence of AI and the power of advanced document creation and processing—all in one place.

We are always adding new features! Here’s what’s currently available:

AI Studio is your intuitive, conversational interface for immediate, one-off document tasks. Simply describe what you need in natural language, and your AI Assistant will handle the entire process and deliver quick, reliable results. You can ask it to perform a wide range of PDF actions—like converting a file, compressing an image, or summarizing content—and even gain valuable insights from your documents, all in real time. It's designed for quick solutions and ad-hoc processing whenever you need it.

Workflows are your automation superpower. In the Workflows tab, you can create, customize, and save multi-step document processes—like “convert, watermark, compress, then encrypt”—as reusable workflows. Build a workflow once by simply chatting with the AI, then apply it to any document or batch of documents whenever you need. This ensures consistency, saves massive amounts of time, and eliminates repetitive manual work for recurring tasks.

Batch Processing is designed for maximum efficiency with high volumes of documents. In the Batch Processing tab, you can upload entire folders or collections of files and apply your saved workflows to all of them at once. Whether you’re converting, compressing, extracting, or securing documents, Batch Processing lets you handle hundreds or thousands of files in minutes—transforming complex, large-scale operations into a simple, streamlined experience.

Getting started is easy and risk-free:

  1. Sign up with your email or Google account.
  2. Instantly receive 400 Monthly Credits on the Starter plan—free forever, with no credit card required.
  3. Explore the AI Studio, Workflows, and Batch Processing tabs and experience the power of pdfAssistant right away. Preview mode only, downloads unlock with a paid subscription.

  • Automatic Deletion: All documents are temporarily stored on secure pdfRest servers and are permanently and automatically deleted after 24 hours.
