When Deluma may fit your workflow
To merge reports, extract pages, compress a copy or recognize text without sending the PDF for remote processing, try the corresponding tool. Start with a test document and review fonts, tables and pages before adopting it for work.
What to consider before switching
Free is limited to 2 completed PDFs every 24 hours. Word conversion requires Pro. Saving to the online library or sending by email transfers the file when you choose that action; Office conversion modes that use a server show a separate consent step. Accounts, billing and technical website records also involve servers.
Compare using your own documents
Run the same task with a non-confidential copy, compare export size and appearance, and check the plan allowance. If your team needs centralized administration or specific contracts, assess those requirements separately. Current Deluma plans are Free and Pro; no Team plan is offered on this page.
