Free forever. Pro when you need the extra control.
PDFCraft's free version is the product, not a trial of one — no watermark, no file
cap, no clock. Pro adds three capabilities and takes nothing away. All prices are in
US dollars.
Checkout is hosted by Freemius on checkout.freemius.com. PDFCraft never
sees or stores your card details. The amount charged — including any VAT or sales tax
for your country — is the one shown at checkout.
Free vs Pro
Exactly what a licence key changes
Three rows differ. Every other row is identical on both tiers, and that is enforced in
the code rather than remembered: the paid tier can only move a setting away from its
free value, never restrict one.

Billing, licensing & refunds
How the payment side works
Written out here rather than buried in a checkout footer, so nothing about the
purchase is a surprise after it.
Freemius is the Merchant of Record
PDFCraft Pro is sold and invoiced by Freemius, Inc., our reseller
and Merchant of Record. They take the payment, handle sales tax and VAT for your
country, and issue your invoice. Their name is what appears on your statement.
We never see your card
The purchase happens on Freemius's own checkout page in an ordinary browser tab. No
card number, billing address or email address passes through the extension — there
is no code in it that could receive one.
You get a licence key, not an account
After paying you receive a key by email. Open PDFCraft's Licence page, paste it in,
and Pro is on. No sign-up, no password, nothing to recover. Chrome asks permission
for the one licence request at that moment.
One activation, and it moves
A licence covers one installation at a time. Moving to a new machine or browser
profile is two clicks: deactivate the old one at
users.freemius.com, then activate here. Removing your licence in PDFCraft releases the seat too.
Cancelling
Monthly and Yearly renew until you cancel, from the account link in your purchase
email. Cancelling stops the next charge; Pro keeps working until the period you
already paid for ends. Lifetime never renews, so there is nothing to cancel.
Refunds
If Pro is not what you expected, ask for a refund — email
waafaaofficial@gmail.com
from the address you paid with, or request it from your Freemius account. Refunds
are processed by Freemius and go back to your original payment method.
What Pro does not change
Your files still never leave your device, on either tier. Buying Pro adds exactly
one network request — the licence check — and it carries your key, a random
activation id, and the product name. No filename, page count, file size or file
content is part of it, and nothing about a document is transmitted at any point. The
privacy policy sets out every field.
Questions about paying
Which currency am I charged in?
US dollars. The prices on this page are the amounts before any tax that applies
where you live; Freemius adds VAT or sales tax at checkout where it is due, and the
total you see there is the total you are charged.
Is Yearly really cheaper than Monthly?
Yes, on both counts. At the launch price, Yearly is $30 against $36 for twelve
monthly charges — cheaper before the launch discount is counted at all — and the
discount is where the rest of the gap comes from. The amount the checkout shows when
you get there is the amount you pay.
Can I upgrade from Monthly to Yearly or Lifetime?
Yes. Manage the change from the account link in your purchase email, or at
users.freemius.com. Freemius handles the proration. If anything looks wrong, email us and we will
sort it out with them.
What happens when a subscription ends?
The three Pro settings return to their free values and everything else carries on
exactly as before. Nothing is locked, no PDF you already made is affected, and the
free version is the same full product it was the day you installed it.
I paid but Pro did not unlock.
Email
waafaaofficial@gmail.com
with the address you paid with and your licence key. The usual cause is a key
already activated on another install — deactivate it at
users.freemius.com
and activate again. Declining Chrome's permission prompt also keeps the key without
granting anything; re-submitting it asks again.
Do I have to buy Pro to keep using PDFCraft?
No, and there is no mechanism by which that could change. The free tier has no
clock, no counter and no watermark, and the paid tier is structurally incapable of
putting a limit on anything the free version could already do.
Still deciding?
Install the free version first — it is the whole product, and it will tell you
within one conversion whether the three Pro settings are worth $3 to you. Questions
about billing, invoices or refunds go straight to a person.
