PDFZora Terms and Conditions

The tools on PDFZora convert, edit, split, merge, and compress PDF files. They're built for your own documents and your own work.

By using the site you're telling us that:

• You've read these terms and you'll stick to them.
• You'll follow the law where you live.

There are also a few things we don't allow:

• Using the tools for anything illegal, or to harass or harm someone.
• Trying to break into the site, overload our servers, or push spam through them.
• Scraping the site in a way that slows it down for everyone else.
• Collecting information about other people who use the site.

If any of that happens, we can block access to the site. Section 07 explains how.

2.1 How your files are handled

Some PDFZora tools do their work on your own device. That is how the browser-based utilities behave, and it means the file or the values you enter stay with you. Other tasks need more computing power than a browser can offer, so a copy of the file is sent to our servers, or to a service provider working for us, and the finished result comes back to you. The tool page tells you which applies.

A file is used only to carry out the task you asked for. Temporary processing copies on our systems are deleted within one hour (60 minutes) of the task finishing. We do not keep the result once you have downloaded it. That window covers our own processing copies. A provider that handled a file for us keeps its own operational records under its own terms, as the Privacy Policy describes.

You own everything you upload. You're also the one answerable for it, so only bring files here that you have the right to use.

2.2 What you're responsible for

Processing is largely automated. Access to file content is limited to what is needed to run, maintain, secure or support the service, or to meet a legal obligation. Where a service provider performs part of the processing for us, it handles the information for that purpose as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell personal data. What you do with the finished file is your call, and it has to be lawful, including under copyright and privacy law.

PDFZora uses essential cookies and Google Analytics. PDFZora does not currently run advertising or use advertising cookies.

Our Privacy Policy is the fuller description of what we store, for how long, and how to block analytics cookies. If this page and that one differ, rely on the Privacy Policy.

The tools are provided as they are. We test them and fix what we can, but we can't promise a tool will never fail, that the site will be up every minute of the day, or that a converted file will come out looking exactly like the original. Give your result a quick look before you send it somewhere that matters.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, PDFZora is not responsible for losses arising from use of the site, including lost files, lost income, or the cost or time required to repeat work.

The PDFZora name and logo, the design of this site, and the text we publish on it belong to us. You can't copy, reuse, or republish any of that without our written permission.

The fonts, icons, and open-source libraries used on the site belong to the people who made them, under their own licences.

Nobody has a profile here, so there's nothing for us to close. If someone misuses the site, we can still block the requests coming from a particular device, network, or IP address.

That can happen when someone:

• Breaks these terms.
• Copies our code, design, or content.
• Scrapes, spams, or attacks the site in a way that affects other people using it.
• Has to be blocked for legal reasons, or is hitting a tool we've retired.

Tools get added, improved, and sometimes retired, and we may change or remove any part of the site at any time. PDFZora's current tools are free to use, and we do not currently ask for card or bank details. If that changes, we will say so in these terms first.

These terms can change too. When they do, the date at the top of the page changes with them, and the version you're reading is the one that applies.

These terms are governed by Indian law. If a dispute comes out of them, it's handled by the courts in Hyderabad, Telangana.

If any of this is unclear, or you think we've got something wrong, email info@pdfzora.com or use the Contact Us page. We read what comes in.
