Why we bundled pdf tools
PDFs are still the universal exchange format for everything from invoices to contracts to course material, and Smallpdf charges £8/month while iLovePDF runs free-with-ads and watermarks. Apexkit gives you the full PDF stack — compress, merge, split, summarise, chat, sign, encrypt, convert to and from JPG/Word — for one subscription that's already paying for everything else. Everything that can run in-browser does, so your documents never touch our servers; the few that need server compute (Chat with PDF, AI Summarise) use the OpenAI API with 24-hour auto-deletion of any uploaded file.
