About PDFTools

We're a small team in Almaty building a PDF toolkit for people who work with Russian and Kazakh documents every day.

Why we built this

Most western PDF services assume your documents are in English. The OCR defaults to English-only training data, and the result is gibberish for Cyrillic text. We were tired of typing scanned invoices by hand, so we shipped a toolkit that handles Russian, Kazakh, Uzbek and Kyrgyz natively.

What we ship

  • 10 PDF operations: merge, split, compress, OCR, PDF↔Word, protect/unlock, rotate, extract pages.
  • Tesseract bundled with rus, kaz, uzb, kir + eng training data — no scrambled OCR output.
  • KZT pricing via Kaspi/Halyk; ESF for legal entities.
  • Archivos eliminados a los 60 minutos — nunca usados para entrenar ningún modelo.
  • REST API on the Team plan with 1000 calls/day.

How we make money

Subscriptions only. No ads, no data sales, no upselling. Free tier is funded by the watermark on compress/convert outputs (never on merge/split — those have to be clean). Paid plans remove the watermark.

Where we run

Application servers in Almaty, file storage on Cloudflare R2 with a 60-minute TTL. We don't have a US East ingress — your data stays close to home.
