PDF Candy is an online and desktop-friendly document toolkit offering editing, conversion, compression and page-management tools in a clean, task-based interface.
PDF Candy provides a broad suite of document-handling utilities directly in the browser, letting users edit PDFs, convert files between major formats, extract or reorder pages, compress large documents, add protections, watermark files and run OCR on scanned pages. The platform is designed around quick task tiles, making it easy to choose and execute actions without navigating through complex menus. Conversions aim to preserve layout fidelity, while its mix of web access and a downloadable desktop variant gives users both flexibility and offline capability. The service operates with a freemium structure, where casual tasks are free but higher limits and advanced operations require a subscription. Altogether, PDF Candy positions itself as a convenient, no-install-required workspace for everyday and professional PDF workflows.
