Scan a Hindi government form, get fully-editable text. Sejda + iLovePDF only do English so Devanagari comes out as gibberish.
Every tool, every feature, free forever. No ads polluting the page. No "upgrade to Pro" walls. Just open and use.
Chat with PDF, summarise in any language, smart-redact PAN/Aadhaar. Sejda + iLovePDF still have zero AI in 2026.
Hosted on our own infrastructure. Auto-delete in 24h. No third-party cloud handoff to AWS/CF US.
Drag fillable text/checkbox/signature/dropdown fields. Send for signature with audit trail — sequential email invites via Brevo.
Every tool is 100% free with no daily caps and no ads. Sign in only if you want to save your history — there's no Pro tier to push you toward.
Yes — 100% free, forever. Every tool, every feature, including the AI tools. No ads, no daily limits, no "upgrade to Pro" walls. Sign in via Techclick SSO (Google / email) only if you want to save your history across devices.
Files are stored encrypted on Indian infrastructure and auto-deleted within 24 hours. No third-party cloud handoff. Never used for AI training. Our privacy posture is the strictest of any web PDF editor.
No. None. Anywhere. The page you use is the page Ram built — no Google Ads, no banners, no popups, no autoplaying anything.
We use Tesseract with the Hindi (hin) + English (eng) language packs and a Cloudflare Workers AI cleanup pass. For everyday government forms, exam papers, and printed Hindi documents, accuracy is comparable to Adobe's commercial offering — and ours is free.
There's nothing to migrate — these are web tools, so you just start using pdf.techclick.in instead. Your old subscription with them remains unaffected. Most users keep both for a month to compare, then switch fully.
Yes — REST endpoints exist for all 45+ tools under /api/*. While the studio is in beta, API access is free for personal and small-team use. Email support@techclick.in if you need higher rate limits.
