FAQ

Questions & answers

Is ForgePDF really free to use? +
Yes. Signing, merging, splitting, annotating and converting PDFs are completely free forever. Text editing uses a credit system — your first session is free, and additional sessions start at €0.50.
Are my documents stored on your servers? +
No. All PDF processing happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript. Your files never leave your device. We only store your anonymous usage credit balance.
What's the difference between the web app and the Chrome extension? +
The web app works in any modern browser — just open the URL and start editing. The Chrome extension adds extra convenience: it detects PDFs as you browse, adds a quick-open button to PDF links, and integrates with your right-click menu.
Do my credits expire? +
Never. Credits are tied to your browser's anonymous ID and never expire. Buy them once, use them whenever you need.
What file formats can I export to? +
You can export your edited PDF as PDF (always), or convert pages to JPG, PNG, DOCX (Word), TXT, HTML, or CSV. Batch export all pages at once.
