Question 1

What PDF tools does Utilioo offer?

Accepted Answer

Utilioo offers 5 essential PDF tools: Merge (combine multiple PDFs), Split (extract pages or divide into parts), Compress (reduce file size), Rotate (turn pages 90°, 180°, or 270°), and Page Manager (delete, reorder, and duplicate pages). All tools process files entirely in your browser for maximum privacy.

Question 2

Can I use these PDF tools without uploading files to a server?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All 5 tools process files entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files never leave your device, never touch our servers, and we literally cannot see them. This makes Utilioo perfect for confidential documents like medical records, legal contracts, tax documents, or financial statements.

Question 3

What are the free tier limits?

Accepted Answer

Free tier includes: Merge (10/month), Split (5/day), Compress (5/day), Rotate (10/day), and Page Manager (5/day). Daily limits reset at midnight, monthly limits on the 1st. Upgrade to Pro ($7/month) for unlimited operations on all tools.

Question 4

Is Utilioo HIPAA and GDPR compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Since all PDF processing happens in your browser and we never see, collect, or store your files, Utilioo is compliant with HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and other data privacy regulations by design. Healthcare providers, legal firms, and enterprises trust us with their most sensitive documents.

Question 5

Can I use Utilioo offline without internet?

Accepted Answer

Yes! After your first visit, Utilioo works completely offline. You can merge, split, compress, rotate, and manage PDF pages without an internet connection. Perfect for secure environments, air-gapped networks, or when traveling.

Question 6

What's the maximum file size I can process?

Accepted Answer

The actual limit depends on your device's RAM - most modern computers can handle files up to several hundred megabytes easily. For very large files (500MB+), we recommend using a desktop or laptop for better performance. Pro users have no artificial file size limits.

Question 7

Is there a free alternative to Adobe Acrobat?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Utilioo is a privacy-first, free alternative to Adobe Acrobat. Unlike Adobe's expensive subscription ($15-30/month), Utilioo offers 5 essential PDF tools for free. Our Pro plan is just $7/month for unlimited operations - a fraction of Adobe's price.

Question 8

How does PDF compression work?

Accepted Answer

Our compression tool optimizes PDF structure and removes unnecessary metadata to reduce file size. You can choose between Maximum Compression (smallest size), Balanced (good compression with quality retention), or High Quality (minimal compression). Results vary based on your PDF's content.

Question 9

Can I process password-protected PDFs?

Accepted Answer

Currently, Utilioo does not support password-protected PDFs. You'll need to remove the password first using another tool, then process the files with Utilioo. We're working on adding encryption support in a future update.

Question 10

Does Utilioo work on mobile phones and tablets?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Utilioo works on all modern browsers including mobile Safari (iPhone/iPad), Chrome (Android), and Samsung Internet. However, for large files or complex operations, we recommend using a desktop or laptop for better performance.
