PDF Candy
All-in-one online PDF toolkit
PDF Candy is an online PDF toolkit developed by the Icecream Apps team and operating since 2016. It handles common document tasks in the browser, including editing, converting, merging, splitting, compressing, signing, protecting and unlocking PDF files, along with page-level operations such as rotating, cropping, extracting, rearranging and deleting pages. Files can be uploaded from a computer, Dropbox or Google Drive.
The service lists 98 tools, covering conversions to and from formats such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, PNG, EPUB, MOBI, HTML and CSV, plus PDF OCR, metadata editing, watermarks, annotations, page numbering and repair. AI features include PDF summarization, chat with PDF and translation. A Windows desktop edition processes files locally and works offline. Uploaded files are deleted within two hours, with HTTPS, TLS/SSL and AES-256 encryption applied.
PDF Candy is aimed at individuals and organizations that need routine PDF processing, with solutions pages for business and education. The web service can be used free up to a usage limit; paid plans remove hourly limits, raise the per-task file size cap and add priority processing. Plans are offered as web-only monthly, combined web and desktop yearly, or a one-time lifetime option covering both.
