Hey everyone! 👋 I built pdfyr because I was frustrated with slow, bloated PDF converters that demand personal data and charge ridiculous prices. The Problem: Most PDF tools require signup, have daily limits, add watermarks, and are painfully slow. I needed something simple, private, and fast. Our Approach: ✅ No registration needed ✅ Instant conversions (seconds, not minutes) ✅ Zero data storage (PDFs deleted immediately) ✅ Freemium model (fair pricing at €4.99/month) ✅ Built with privacy-first mindset The Journey: Started as a personal tool, evolved into a full SaaS. We focused on: speed > features, privacy > tracking, simplicity > complexity. Try it free: https://pdfyr.com 🚀 Happy to answer any questions!
