Welcome to PDFSynth. These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the PDFSynth website, online tools, software, features, and related services.
By accessing or using PDFSynth, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should not use the service.

4. Your Files and Content
You retain ownership of files and content that you upload to PDFSynth, subject to any rights required for us to provide the requested service.
By uploading a file, you confirm that:
- You have the necessary rights or permissions to use the file.
- You have the right to submit the file for processing.
- Processing the file through PDFSynth does not violate applicable laws or third-party rights.
PDFSynth does not claim ownership of your uploaded documents.
5. Responsibility for Uploaded Content
You are solely responsible for the content you upload, process, convert, or download through PDFSynth.
PDFSynth does not generally review the contents of user files before processing them.
You should ensure that documents containing confidential, personal, financial, legal, medical, or other sensitive information are handled appropriately.
6. File Processing
PDFSynth uses automated systems to process files according to the tools selected by the user.
Because document processing depends on file structure, format, size, content, and other technical factors, PDFSynth does not guarantee that every file will process successfully.
Some files may:
- Fail to upload
- Fail to convert
- Produce unexpected formatting
- Lose unsupported features
- Produce incomplete results
- Take longer than expected to process
You should review generated files before relying on them for important purposes.
7. Accuracy of Generated Results
PDFSynth tools are provided to assist with document processing.
Converted, compressed, merged, or otherwise generated files may not always reproduce the original document perfectly.
PDFSynth does not guarantee that generated files will preserve every element, font, layout, image, annotation, metadata field, form field, or other feature of the original document.
You are responsible for checking the output before using, distributing, publishing, or relying upon it.
8. Availability of the Service
We aim to keep PDFSynth available and functional, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
The service may occasionally be unavailable because of:

- Events outside our reasonable control
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature without prior notice where reasonably necessary.
9. Free and Paid Features

Where applicable, pricing and payment terms will be displayed before a paid service is used.

We may modify these Terms from time to time.
Updated Terms will be published on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
Your continued use of PDFSynth after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, subject to applicable law.
20. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
21. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with any additional policies or rules expressly referenced within them, constitute the terms governing your use of PDFSynth.
If a separate agreement applies to a particular PDFSynth service, that agreement may take precedence over these Terms for that service.
22. Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using PDFSynth, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms & Conditions.
If you do not agree with these Terms, please discontinue use of the service.
Important: Before publishing, make sure the wording about file deletion/retention, analytics, cookies, accounts, payments, and third-party processors matches what PDFSynth actually does. Privacy laws generally expect privacy information to accurately describe the service’s real data practices rather than simply using generic wording. (ICO)
