I built PDFCrate because I kept running into the same frustration — PDF tools that advertise "free" but then watermark your output, limit you to 2 conversions per day, or force you to create an account just to merge two files. The problem I wanted to solve: make a PDF toolkit that is genuinely free with no hidden catches. What PDFCrate does: ✅ 35 free tools — merge, split, compress, convert, OCR, protect, rotate, watermark and more ✅ No signup required for any free tool ✅ No watermarks on any output file ✅ No daily or monthly limits ✅ Files deleted automatically after processing The AI layer (summarizer, translator, bank statement to Excel) is optional and starts at $4.99/month — but the core toolkit is free forever. My process evolved a lot during building — I started with just 5 tools and kept adding based on what people actually searched for. The AI tools came later when I realized users wanted to do more than just convert files. Would love your honest feedback — what PDF tasks do you find most painful? Happy to answer any questions! 🙏
