PrimoPDF – Create professional PDFs easily and for free.

The smart shortcut to PDFs without Adobe

PrimoPDF is one of the most user-friendly and popular free tools to convert documents to PDF files in high quality. It works as a virtual printer, which means you simply select PrimoPDF in your print menu—your document is converted to a PDF instead of being printed on paper.

The program supports almost any document type, making it a perfect solution if you work with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or image files that need to be saved in PDF format.


User-friendly and efficient

With a clean, simple interface, PrimoPDF is easy to use—even for beginners. You don’t need to tweak lots of technical settings: just choose your document, select PrimoPDF as the printer, click “Print”—and you’re done.


Features and options

PrimoPDF includes several useful features beyond simple conversion:

  • 🔐 128-bit encryption – protect your PDFs with a password
  • 🧾 Add document properties – e.g., author, subject, and keywords
  • 📱 Optimization for different uses – screen, print, eBook, or press-ready
  • 📂 Choose save location and auto-naming
  • 🔄 Batch conversion (with certain limitations)

Advantages over online tools

Unlike many free PDF tools online, PrimoPDF is installed locally on your computer, which means:

Fast, reliable conversion without an internet connection

You keep privacy and data security

No file uploads to third parties
