User reviews
The extension offers a free and easy browser-based solution for common PDF tasks like merging and converting, appreciated for its speed and simplicity. However, multiple users report that the Chrome extension has largely become just a shortcut to the main website, losing much standalone functionality. Interface limitations and lack of batch processing affect usability, and some users expressed security concerns related to unlocking protected PDFs. Overall, the tool is valued but the extension's current implementation reduces its usefulness compared to the website.
Pros
- Completely free to use with various PDF tools.
- Easy to use and fast for merging, splitting, and converting PDFs.
- Accessible directly from the browser without needing to download software.
- Useful toolset available on their main website.
- Effective PDF conversion, including files with embedded images.
Cons
- The Chrome extension itself has lost functionality and mainly serves as a shortcut to the website.
- Lack of clarity about pricing and features between the extension and website.
- No batch processing or multi-file handling in free version.
- The extension interface has usability issues and language limitations (e.g. only Russian).
- Security concerns regarding the unlock PDF feature allowing password-protected files to be unlocked easily.

Can you please explain why there's a pricing page, then?

The website is great but this extension is useless. It used to actually be functional but everything about it was changed and now it's useless besides being a link to the website. I don't understand what the extensions is supposed to do anymore. I would definitely revise this to 5 stars if it was returned to the old format where the different tools are actually accessible.
