Ask PDF details

Best for command-based PDF cleanup

Use Ask PDF when you want to type a plain-language command such as remove blank pages, make every page A4, put two pages on one A4 sheet, compress below 3 MB, or create a searchable PDF.

Target file sizes

Ask PDF is the right place for specific size requests like compress below 2 MB, 3 MB, 5 MB, or 10 MB because the command can include the target.

OCR and searchable PDFs

When a page has no text layer, Ask PDF can run OCR and add hidden searchable text so scanned PDFs become searchable.

Credits and access

Ask PDF requires an account and uses one credit for each successful PDF command. Credits never expire.

Privacy and limits

PDF uploads can be up to 700 MB and 300 pages. Files are processed for the request and are not stored or indexed.

Common Ask PDF errors

Commands may fail if they request unsupported edits, the file is encrypted, the upload is too large, or the requested target size is not realistically reachable.
