Why Bindery

Built like a proper bindery.

Careful with your pages, quick at the bench, and honest about what things cost. That’s the whole philosophy.

Private by default

Most tools run on your device. The rest use encrypted uploads, deleted as soon as you have the result. Zero training on your documents.

Fast at the bench

Most jobs finish in a couple of seconds. Pro gets priority lanes for the big ones.

One click, not ten

Clean, focused screens for each tool. No pop-ups, no ads, no dark patterns.

Chain it together

Pro workflows let you OCR, compress and watermark a whole folder in one go.

Pricing

Free for the everyday.
Pro for everything.

For the odd merge, split or sign.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is Bindery really free?

Yes. 31 everyday tools — merge, split, compress, sign, convert to PDF and more — are free forever, with no watermarks and no ads. Pro unlocks every tool and lifts the limits.

What happens to my files?

34 of our 48 working tools run entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your computer. The few that need our servers — like Office conversions and OCR — use an encrypted upload and delete your file the moment they’re done. We never read, share or train on your documents.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Bindery runs in any modern browser on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPad and phones.

When can I get Pro?

Very soon. Every free tool works now with no account. Join the early-access list from the Pro page and we’ll email you the day Pro opens, with an early-supporter offer.

What is a “daily taste”?

6 heavyweight Pro tools — like OCR, PDF to Word and Compare — can be used a few times a day on Free, so you can try before you buy.

Your PDFs are waiting to be bound.
