Overview
PDF.co provides hosted APIs for PDF extraction, conversion, generation, editing, form filling, security, and related document tasks. Developers can use REST endpoints, SDKs, and webhooks; teams can also connect document workflows to no-code automation platforms. Usage is metered in credits, with the number of credits varying by endpoint and sometimes by page or API call.

Pros and cons
Pros
- One documented API family covers many document jobs and can connect to both custom apps and no-code workflows
- The vendor publishes endpoint credit guidance and a calculator for estimating workload costs
Cons
- Credit costs depend on the selected endpoint, page count, and related calls such as upload or job status checks
- Temporary file links expire
- Workflows needing longer retention or sensitive-document handling require attention to storage, encryption, and log settings
Pricing
Starting at $8.99 monthly equivalent for Basic when billed annually
The vendor displays Basic at $8.99/month equivalent when billed annually at $107.89, with 16,500 credits per month. The monthly-billing price and higher tiers differ; verify the selected billing interval and credit allowance before checkout.
Renewal: The public pricing page shows an annual Basic total of $107.89 and a crossed-out $119.88 figure, but does not clearly establish whether the lower amount is a first-term promotion or the ongoing renewal amount. Confirm the checkout and renewal terms before purchase.
The displayed $8.99 is a monthly equivalent of annual billing, not a month-to-month charge. The published annual total is $107.89; endpoint usage is separately measured in credits, and extra upload or job-check calls can consume credits. Do not treat the displayed 16,500 credits per month as 16,500 document pages.
