Terms of use
Last updated: 31 October 2026
By using totalpdftools.com (the "Service") you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.
1. The Service
Total PDF Tools provides free tools that process PDF, image and text files inside your web browser. We do not receive, store or have access to the files you process with the tools. Optional cloud storage only receives files you explicitly choose to save. Features may change, be added or be removed at any time.
2. Your files and responsibility
- You keep all rights to your files. Files you process with the tools never leave your device, so you are responsible for keeping copies and backups.
- Only process documents you have the right to use. Do not use the Service to break the law or infringe the rights of others.
- The Unlock tool is only for removing passwords you know and are entitled to remove.
3. Accounts and cloud storage
An account is optional and only needed for cloud storage. Keep your sign-in details safe; you are responsible for activity on your account. Store only files you have the right to store. We may suspend accounts that abuse the service (for example, to distribute illegal content). You can delete your files or your account at any time.
4. Paid plans, renewal and cancellation
- Paid cloud plans are yearly subscriptions, billed once a year in advance. The price is shown before you pay.
- Automatic renewal: subscriptions renew automatically each year at the then-current price until you cancel.
- Cancellation: cancel any time via Cloud storage → Billing → Manage billing (Stripe). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you keep your plan until then.
- Plan changes: switching plans takes effect immediately and Stripe charges or credits the prorated difference.
- Refunds: payments are processed by Stripe. Except where required by law (for example statutory withdrawal rights), payments for a period that has started are not refundable. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us and we'll review it; approved refunds are issued through Stripe to the original payment method.
- Plans bought in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store are billed, renewed, cancelled and refunded by those stores under their terms.
- If you downgrade or a plan ends, your files are kept; uploads pause while you are over the quota.
5. Electronic signatures
The Sign PDF tool places a visual signature image on a document. It is not a certificate-based digital signature. Whether it is legally sufficient for a particular purpose depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement — you are responsible for checking.
6. No warranty
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We work hard to produce correct, valid output and check every PDF before offering it for download, but we can't guarantee that results will be error-free or suitable for every purpose. Always review important documents.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Total PDF Tools is not liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for loss of data, arising from your use of the Service.
8. Advertising and third parties
The Service may display ads from third parties such as Google. Third-party sites and services have their own terms and policies.
9. Open source
The Service includes open-source software under its own licenses (Apache-2.0, MIT, OFL and others). See open-source licenses.
10. Changes
We may update these terms. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms.
