Where We Started
In 1992, Charles Geschke invented the PDF format in order to avoid the distortion of documents during the transmission. When you first start to use PDF, you may have some doubts, such as: "How do I edit it?" or "How to convert PDF to Word document?", etc. LightPDF is born to solve such doubts.

In 2015, our original intention was to make PDF easier to use, and we are committed to providing customers with convenient, simple and secure solutions.
Create a Paperless World
LightPDF focuses on social and environmental issues. Through the continuous iteration and optimization of digital office software, it helps to reduce the waste of resources caused by paper documents.

We hope to improve the efficiency of collaboration and realize paperless office and study. We call on everyone to reduce paper usage and make the planet we live in a more beautiful place.
Brand Stories
For 7 years, our team has been developing technologies in the areas of PDF conversion, text editing, electronic signatures, and more. We believe true creativity happens when we have time to be in deep flow. We continue to explore cloudification, interconnection, cross-platform solutions.

Simplicity is at the heart of everything we do when developing LightPDF. In the future, we will continue to work hard to provide users with simple and efficient PDF solutions, focus on the field of digital documents, provide one-stop PDF solutions for individuals and enterprises, and become the world's leading PDF service brand.
