What is PDF Guru?
PDF Guru is an online PDF editor operated by LOPOFIST LIMITED, a company registered in Nicosia, Cyprus. It works in the browser with nothing to install: you upload a document, change its text, add images, shapes, highlights or notes, and download it in the format you choose. Beyond editing, the site groups tools for merging, splitting, compressing, rotating, cropping and password-protecting PDFs, for filling and signing forms, and for converting to and from formats such as Word, Excel, PPTX, JPG, PNG, EPUB and DWG. Its AI-related tools include a PDF summarizer, a book summarizer, PDF translation, image-to-text extraction and audio or video transcription. A catalogue of ready-made forms covers tax, HR, financial and real estate paperwork. The service is sold as a monthly or yearly subscription, and the first file can be downloaded free.
