Common questions
What can I do for free?
All 6 tools are available for free: combine, split, extract, remove, reorder, and compress. Free users get 2 uses, up to 3 PDFs per merge, 20 pages per file, and low compression. Activate a license for unlimited use.
Does PDFZero upload my files?
Never. All PDF processing happens entirely on your Mac. The only network request is license validation, which sends your license key — never your files.
What macOS version do I need?
PDFZero requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. It runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
