Last updated: May 19, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of PDFLike, available at https://pdflike.com/, including our online PDF and document tools.
By accessing or using PDFLike, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the website or upload files to our tools.
1. Description of the service
PDFLike provides online tools for working with PDF and document files. These tools may include merging, splitting, compressing, converting, rotating, organizing, protecting, unlocking, watermarking, and adding page numbers to PDF files.
The service is provided through a web browser. You do not need to install software to use the main PDFLike tools.
2. Your use of PDFLike
You may use PDFLike only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
You agree not to use PDFLike in a way that:
- violates any applicable law or regulation;
- infringes the rights of any person or organization;
- uploads, processes, stores, or shares illegal, harmful, abusive, or unauthorized content;
- uploads malware, viruses, harmful code, or files designed to damage or disrupt systems;

3. Uploaded files
You are responsible for all files you upload to PDFLike. You should only upload files that you own, have permission to use, or are legally allowed to process.
You retain your rights to the files you upload. PDFLike does not claim ownership of your uploaded files.
By uploading files, you give PDFLike permission to process those files only as needed to provide the selected tool and generate the resulting file for download.
4. File deletion
Uploaded files and processed output files are automatically deleted from our servers after 30 minutes.
You are responsible for downloading your processed file before it is deleted. Once files are deleted, they may no longer be available for recovery or download.
5. File processing results
PDFLike aims to provide useful and accurate file processing tools, but we cannot guarantee that every file will be processed perfectly.
Results may vary depending on the original file structure, file quality, fonts, images, layout complexity, encryption, password protection, file size, file type, or technical limitations.
You should review downloaded files before relying on them for important, legal, financial, academic, professional, or official use.
6. Converting files
When using conversion tools, such as PDF to Word, PDF to JPG, Word to PDF, PowerPoint to PDF, Excel to PDF, or similar tools, formatting and layout may not always match the original file exactly.
Complex layouts, custom fonts, scanned images, tables, charts, layers, or embedded elements may affect the final result.
7. Unlock PDF tool
The Unlock PDF tool may be used only for files that you own or have permission to unlock.
Some protected PDF files may require the correct password before restrictions can be removed. You must not use PDFLike to bypass access controls on files that you are not authorized to open, modify, print, copy, or process.
You are fully responsible for how you use the Unlock PDF tool and for ensuring that your use is lawful.
8. Protect PDF tool
The Protect PDF tool allows you to add password protection to a PDF document.
You are responsible for choosing, storing, and remembering your password. If you forget the password, you may not be able to open or use the protected PDF later.
PDFLike is not responsible for lost passwords or for your inability to access a password-protected file.
9. No account requirement
The main PDFLike tools are designed to work without requiring user registration. If account-based features are added in the future, additional terms may apply.
10. Availability of the service
