What is a PDF (Portable Document Format)?

Understanding the universal document format that preserves your content exactly as intended

Digital Photograph

Think of a PDF (Portable Document Format) as a digital photograph of a document. Just like a photo captures exactly how something looks, a PDF captures exactly how a document looks - fonts, colors, images, layout, and all. Whether you open it on a Windows computer, Mac, iPhone, or Android tablet, it will look exactly the same.

Universal Standard

Created by Adobe in 1993, PDFs have become the universal standard for sharing documents that need to look professional and consistent. Unlike Word documents or text files that might change appearance on different devices, PDFs are designed to be 'what you see is what you get' - every time, everywhere.

Versatile Format

PDFs can do much more than just display text and images. They can include interactive forms, clickable links, embedded videos, digital signatures, password protection, and even 3D models. This versatility makes them perfect for everything from legal contracts and academic papers to product catalogs and instruction manuals.

Free & Accessible

The best part? PDFs are free to create, view, and share. You don't need expensive software - modern web browsers can open PDFs, and tools like ours let you edit and manipulate them directly in your browser without any downloads or installations.
