Do not trust this platform! They use highly misleading user interfaces and dark patterns to trap users into a subscription. I signed up thinking it was a one-time transaction/cheap trial, but they silently stored my Visa card data and charged me [Số tiền bị trừ, ví dụ: $49.99] for an automatic renewal without any prior notice or clear consent. When I contacted their support immediately to cancel and request a refund, they completely refused, hiding behind their "no refund policy". This is an unethical business practice. Stay away if you don't want your money stolen! I am filing a formal chargeback with my bank.

Unexpected bill of £50 - no email, no agreement to my email. AVOID

Misleidend, er staat gratis maar op het einde moet je betalen. SCAM ALERT

I am writing this to demand a full refund of $49.99 USD charged without my explicit consent on 30 August. Your support desk has trapped me in an automated bot loop under Ticket ID: 973P5W-YZNYE, repeatedly trying to push a "2-year free access plan" instead of returning my money. I have explicitly rejected this offer.I do not want your voucher. My bank (First National Bank) has already initiated an official fraud chargeback dispute against this transaction. Manually override your automated bot loop and issue my full refund immediately

Do not trust this company as they trick you into creating an account and make it difficult to delete your data and profile.

Consumer Alert: PDFGuru’s $0.48 “Trial” Turned Into a $64.35 Subscription Charge

I needed to resize a PDF. Found “PDFGuru,” used their tool, and was asked to pay a nominal $0.48 to download my file. Seemed harmless. I paid and downloaded my document.

One week later, I was charged $64.35 on the same card — a “monthly subscription” I never knowingly signed up for.

That $0.48 wasn’t a one-time fee — it was a trial hook that got a card on file, with the recurring charge buried where most people (myself included) wouldn’t think to look for a $0.48 transaction.

The update: I emailed PDFGuru, stating clearly that I’d share my experience publicly if not refunded. They refunded the full amount.

That tells you something — this isn’t a company unaware of the problem. It’s a company that knows exactly what it’s doing, and would rather quietly refund anyone who pushes back than fix the practice for everyone else who doesn’t notice.

🚩 If you’ve used PDFGuru (or similar “pay a few cents, download instantly” PDF tools):
✅ Check your card statements now
✅ If you spot the charge, email them directly and be clear you’ll go public if unresolved
✅ Confirm the subscription is actually cancelled, not just refunded for one cycle — some companies leave you enrolled and charge you again next month

Sharing this so others know both the trap and the fix.

Ik had voor een eenmalige actie een pdf nodig. Ik zou 0,99 euro betalen voor 1 pdf. Kon geen kwaad dacht ik. Verder heb ik helemaal geen gebruik meer van gemaakt van PDF Guru. De advertentie van PDF GURU benadrukt hun kosten niet. Ze verbergen hun maandelijkse kosten van 49,99 euro . Er worden geen herinneringen gestuurd. Inmiddels zijn aan mij 3 maanden maandelijks 49,99 euro in rekening gebracht. Heel erg misleidend aan de man gebracht. Had ik het geweten dan had ik het niet gedaan.
Ik wil daarom per direct mijn (onvrijwillige) abonnement opzeggen en dat de 3 maanden. abonnementskosten ook z.s.m worden teruggestort.

Me cobraron 50 dolares de la nada y me dijeron que no estoy suscrito y no recibo respuesta

Ik heb geen contract.
Een proef binnen een kwartier opgezegd.
Dat geld is ook direct teruggestort.
Nu wordt er maandelijks 49,99 automatisch geïncasseerd

Very disappointing experience with PDF Guru. I only used the service once, and it did not meet my expectations. I was later charged for a recurring subscription that I do not recall agreeing to, as the automatic renewal was not clearly disclosed during purchase.

I requested a refund, but they refused and only canceled future charges. The subscription process feels misleading. Please be careful and review the terms carefully before purchasing.

Pdfguru deserve no stars they are scammed. They scammed me of 49.99 I never authorized when they charged showed i told them I need my refund. When calling them no response. Tried their email and automated message service comes up with a guy name Tom which is a fraud. We need to take pdfguru to tge courts and legal claim companies for this scam to stop

This site is a scam. I paid $3 for a one-time conversion of a PDF to a Word doc, and a few days later I got hit with a USD 50 charge. Absolute scam.

Estos son los típicos que afirman convertir pdfs gratis y luego intentan engancharte la pruebita de los 14 días. Patéticos

I was very disappointed with this platform. My files were unable to download and then I was charged $49. There was no refund. It "appears" to be free but they are quick to grab your money after the 4 day trial period with no prewarning. Very dissatisfied customer.

All’inizio sono rimasta molto delusa perché mi sono ritrovata addebiti mensili per un piano che non avevo mai sottoscritto. Come altri utenti avevo infatti generato un file a 0.99 centesimi che poi si è trasformato in addebito non autorizzato di un piano tariffario mensile. Dopo il panico iniziale, leggendo le recensioni su Trustpilot, ho scoperto che c'era qualche possibilità di ottenere un rimborso e così ho contattato il servizio clienti. Dopo qualche resistenza iniziale sono riuscita a farmi rimborsare 4 rate su 5, un risultato più che buono, viste le premesse! Il supporto clienti ha risposto ogni volta in meno di un'ora, addirittura nel corso del fine settimana, e si è dimostrato sempre disponibile e gentile.

Consiglio a chi dovesse avere problemi simili di contattare direttamente l’assistenza con calma e chiarezza, perché nel mio caso hanno dimostrato disponibilità ad aiutare il cliente. La comunicazione è sempre stata infatti rapida e cortese.

Se posso dare un suggerimento, consiglio di mandare una mail di inizio addebito a chi, forse inconsapevolmente perché poco chiaro, sottoscrive un piano.

At first, I was very disappointed because I found myself facing monthly charges for a plan I had never knowingly subscribed to. Like many other users, I had generated a file for €0.99, which then turned into unauthorized charges for a monthly subscription plan.

After the initial panic, I read the reviews on Trustpilot and discovered that there was some chance of obtaining a refund, so I decided to contact customer support.

After some initial resistance, I managed to obtain refunds for 4 out of the 5 charges, which is actually a very good result considering the circumstances. Customer support replied every single time in less than an hour, even during the weekend, and they were always kind and helpful.

I would recommend that anyone experiencing a similar issue contact customer support directly in a calm and clear manner, because in my case they genuinely showed willingness to help the customer. Communication was always fast and courteous.

If I may offer one suggestion, I would recommend sending a notification email at the beginning of the subscription charges to customers who may have subscribed to a plan unintentionally, possibly because the subscription terms were not sufficiently clear.

Je suis une autre victime du flou de l'offre pdfguru.
le passage automatique d'une offre d'une semaine à 0.99€ à une offre à 49.99€ .
Rien n'est clairement indiqué et le support me fait entrer dans un cercle vicieux

DO NOT USE!!

Typical scam site, one off use, small one off fee. Then BANG!! your bank gets a large charge out of nowhere.

Aoid this scam site.
