Frequently asked questions

Is this workflow builder free?

Yes — completely free with no sign-up and no limit on how many steps you chain.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. Every step runs entirely in your browser, one after another — the file never leaves your device.

Does the order of steps matter?

Yes — each step's output feeds directly into the next. For example, compressing before adding a watermark works differently than watermarking first, then compressing (which can slightly soften the watermark). Reorder steps with the arrows to control this.

Can I use the same operation twice?

Yes — add as many steps as you like, including repeats, in any order.

What if I only need one operation?

You can still use this tool with a single step, but the dedicated tool for that operation (like Compress PDF or Watermark PDF) will have more fine-tuning options.
