VellumPDF is free. Running it is not.
No file is uploaded, no account, no advertising, no daily limit: nobody pays with their data, and there is nothing to sell behind it. The site is written and maintained in Carouge, Switzerland, by the people who built it; the domain name, the certificates, other tools and the hosting are paid for every year. A donation, whatever each person can afford, helps pay for that upkeep and keeps every tool open to everyone.
A one-off amount of your choosing, through Stripe. Nothing is unlocked in return: it is already free, for everyone.
Your next PDF deserves better.
Open a tool and see for yourself: it’s instant, it’s private, and it’s free where it counts.
