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
