About

QuicklyPDF is a free, privacy-first online platform designed to handle a wide range of PDF tasks effortlessly. Whether you need to merge multiple PDFs, split large files, compress PDFs to reduce file size, or convert documents between PDF and various formats like Word, Excel, and images, QuicklyPDF offers all these features in a user-friendly, no-frills interface. Unlike many other tools, QuicklyPDF prioritizes user privacy. Files uploaded to the server are automatically deleted within one hour to ensure your data remains secure. Additionally, certain features such as PDF merging, splitting, and image-to-PDF conversion are processed locally in your browser using WebAssembly (WASM), meaning your files never leave your device for those operations. QuicklyPDF is entirely free to use—there are no hidden charges, no subscriptions, and no sign-ups required. You can handle unlimited PDF tasks without worrying about daily limits or watermarks. The platform is accessible from all devices.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Can't think of a better tool for this simple purpose of merging. There's an equally useful looking splitter function that I haven't used for a long time.
  • PDFsam is okay to edit files as long as standards compliance is not a priority. The edit features work fine.
  • It's like any other PDF software on the market. You need to pay a premium for electronic signatures and editing of all things.
  • -Very intuitive interface -It's very quick and easy to split or merge PDFs -No ads on the free version, they don't push for premium
  • Free and open source. Merge PDF files together. Split PDF file or extract pages. Multi platform availability.

Cons

  • Worried it'll convert itself into a subscription based app.
  • It is impossible to print properly. As an example, duplex printing just does not work, and PDFsam manages to mess this somehow by taking control of the print driver even if the printer is hard-set to duplex printing. The only working solution I found is to use a different program to print the pdf after editing it with PDFsam.
  • Buying a license is an absolute nightmare. They claim the license is $19.99 lifetime and as soon as you pay it turns into a subscription of $100 a year, no refunds. They start to add additional services randomly, and charge you, No customer service, I had to get my bank to put a stop payment, I had selected a basic plan and they had tacked on additional plans without my approval.
  • There are honestly no cons for me, PDFSam does what it must. It would be great if the converter tool would also be free, but I understand they have to make money somehow with premium.
  • No editing or conversion feature - available in PDFsam enhanced which is paid.
