euPDF's answer

euPDF is a privacy-first PDF platform. Unlike most online PDF tools, it stores no user data, uses no first-party cookies, and requires no account. Files are processed in isolated non-root Docker containers, scanned for malware, and automatically deleted after the session ends or 15 minutes of inactivity. Users pay only after previewing the result.

PDFly.eu's answer:

PDFly runs the 12 most-used PDF tools (merge, split, compress, rotate, JPG/PDF, watermark, page numbers...) entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. Files never leave your device. Combined with EU hosting in Paris and pricing at €4,99/month (vs $7-19 for US competitors), PDFly is positioned as a privacy-first European alternative to iLovePDF, SmallPDF, and Adobe Acrobat Online.

euPDF's answer

Because euPDF combines security with simplicity. There’s no signup, no tracking, and no permanent storage. You get a watermarked preview before paying, so you never waste money on an unusable file. GDPR-friendly design, ClamAV scanning, and transparent credit pricing make it ideal for privacy-conscious individuals and businesses.

PDFly.eu's answer:

1. Privacy: 12 free tools process files 100% in the browser — no upload, no server, no Cloud Act exposure.
2. EU jurisdiction: hosted in Paris, France. GDPR-compliant by design, no US subprocessors for tool processing.
3. Price: Premium at €4,99/month, half the price of iLovePDF Premium ($7) or SmallPDF Pro ($12).
4. Multilingual: native UI in 6 European languages (FR, EN, ES, DE, IT, NL).

euPDF's answer

The primary audience includes privacy-conscious individuals, SMBs, legal and healthcare professionals, public sector organisations, and enterprise clients that need fast, secure PDF processing without long-term data retention or account creation.

PDFly.eu's answer:

European professionals and individuals who handle sensitive documents under GDPR: legal, medical, HR, public sector, education, accounting. Also EU-conscious freelancers, small businesses, and anyone uncomfortable uploading personal files to US-based PDF services.

euPDF's answer

euPDF was created by Job Done Marketing LLC, a new company from Albuquerque, New Mexico. The goal was simple: build a PDF tool that respects user privacy. Most online converters store your files, require accounts, and track you with cookies. euPDF was designed to do the opposite — process documents anonymously, show a preview before payment, and delete everything immediately afterward.

PDFly.eu's answer:

Built in Belgium in early 2026 after the founder kept hesitating to upload contracts and ID scans to iLovePDF and SmallPDF — both routing files through US servers under the Cloud Act. The realization that no major European alternative existed at a competitive price became the launch thesis: rebuild the iLovePDF feature set, but with browser-side processing for privacy and EU hosting for jurisdiction.

PDFly.eu's answer:

• Frontend: Next.js 15 (App Router), TypeScript, React 19, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui
• PDF processing: pdf-lib, pdfjs-dist, WebAssembly (browser-side)
• Server tools: Python (PyMuPDF, pikepdf), Tesseract OCR, LibreOffice (server-side)
• Auth: NextAuth (Auth.js v5) with Resend magic links
• Database: Prisma + SQLite
• Payments: Stripe Checkout + Webhooks + Tax
• Hosting: single VPS in Paris (France), Docker Compose, nginx
• i18n: next-intl (6 languages)

euPDF's answer

As of the current stage, euPDF is newly launched and does not yet have publicly named enterprise customers. However, the platform is designed for SMBs, legal firms, healthcare providers, and public sector entities that require GDPR-compliant, no-retention PDF processing. Customer logos and case studies will be added as partnerships are signed.
