# DocuGrip

> DocuGrip is a commercial document platform. 134 tools work today; for almost all of them the file is never transmitted to us. Zero-transmission processing, no watermark on any plan. Free tier: 2 runs a day before signing in, 3 a day in total once signed in. Paid plans from $3. Available in en; tr, es, de, ar are announced but not yet served.

## What DocuGrip is

- **Zero-transmission processing.** For the tools listed below there is no upload step and no copy of the document in our systems.
- **Signature requests are the exception.** Sending a PDF to other people to sign stores the document, encrypted before it is sent; the key travels only inside the signing links and is not kept, and the encrypted files are deleted 30 days after the request is completed, declined or expires.
- **Trial, then paid.** Every tool is on the daily trial with no feature held back. Signing in raises the allowance; paid plans remove the daily cap; there is no file size ceiling on any plan and no advertising. Day access is $3, Pro is $11/month.
- **No watermark** is added to any output file.
- **License-clean.** No copyleft (AGPL/GPL) components anywhere in the product.
- **Served language:** `en`. `tr`, `es`, `de`, `ar` are built and announced but not yet served; requests to those prefixes redirect to English. Each tool has its own slug per language, not a translated query string.

## AI

- [PDF to Markdown](https://docugrip.com/pdf-to-markdown): Turn a document into clean Markdown for notes or an AI pipeline.

## Site pages

- [Workflows](https://docugrip.com/workflows): Chain tools into one run — merge, then compress, then watermark — entirely inside the browser tab. Competitors run this on their servers behind a paid account; here the chain needs no account and the file never leaves the device at any step.
- [Settings](https://docugrip.com/settings): Settings page, split in two. Local preferences (saved signatures, recent tools, drafts) stay on the machine that saved them and work signed out; only billing and team access need an account. There is no data-region setting because no file is uploaded or processed on a server.
- [Sign in](https://docugrip.com/sign-in): Sign-in page. No tool on this site requires an account — signing in only covers subscription and invoices. Authentication is passwordless: a one-time link sent by email, plus Google, Apple, Microsoft and GitHub where enabled.
- [Get started](https://docugrip.com/get-started): Entry page. Not a signup funnel: it routes visitors straight to the tool that matches their job, because every tool already never transmits the document without an account and without uploading the file.
- [Form directory](https://docugrip.com/forms): The most-filled documents worldwide — tax, employment, immigration, business. Each entry links to the issuing authority and to the tools that fill and sign it. The PDFs themselves are not hosted here.
- [MCP server](https://docugrip.com/mcp-server): Remote Model Context Protocol server at https://docugrip.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no API key). Seven read-only tools: list_pdf_tools, find_pdf_tool (plain-language task to the right tool and page), plan_pdf_job (a multi-step job as ordered steps, the runs it takes and which plan fits when it needs more than the daily allowance), get_pdf_tool, get_plans (current plans and prices with direct buy links), get_upload_requirements (official upload size limits for portals such as IRCC, USCIS or Gmail, with sources) and find_official_form (official forms such as W-9 or I-130 with the current edition). It never receives, opens or stores a document: it returns links, and the work happens in the page that link opens.
- [PDF for law firms](https://docugrip.com/pdf-for-law-firms): Court e-filing has hard rules: each federal CM/ECF court sets its own file limit (the Central District of California, for example, 35 MB per PDF), state systems differ (Illinois circuit courts 25 MB per document, Michigan MiFILE 25 MB), many courts require text-searchable PDFs and refuse password-protected files, and some require exhibit bookmarks. Lists the tools that meet each rule, including OCR, PDF/A, bookmark editing, Bates numbering and compressing to an exact size. The sourced, court-by-court table is at /court-efiling-pdf-rules.
- [PDF for teachers](https://docugrip.com/pdf-for-teachers): Two audiences: teachers making classroom material, and the large number who sell it. Covers protecting a PDF you sell — real encryption, flattening, watermarking and stamping — and building fillable worksheets. Cannot stop a determined copier, and says so.
- [PDF for self-publishing](https://docugrip.com/pdf-for-self-publishing): Wrong margins and bleed are the leading cause of print rejection. Covers checking trim geometry, embedded fonts and image resolution before you upload. Detects RGB versus CMYK but does not convert between them — that needs ICC color management, which is not reliable in a browser.
- [PDF for accounting](https://docugrip.com/pdf-for-accounting): Collecting a W-9 from every vendor before the first payment is required regardless of the reporting threshold, and email collection breaks down as volume grows. Covers building fillable forms, filling them, signing, and turning a spreadsheet into one PDF per row.
- [PDF for recruiting and CVs](https://docugrip.com/pdf-for-recruiting): Around three quarters of CVs are filtered by an applicant tracking system before a person sees them, and the causes are measurable: image-only PDFs with no text layer, contact details stranded in headers, multi-column layouts read out of order. Covers checking and fixing each.
- [PDF for immigration consultants](https://docugrip.com/pdf-for-immigration-consultants): Visa portals reject files for size, count and encryption. IRCC (Canada): one file per document field, under 4 MB on portals and 2 MB on some web forms. ImmiAccount (Australia): up to 5 MB per document, 60 documents per person (100 on partner visas), no encrypted or secured PDFs. Covers combining, compressing to a target size, unlocking, and redaction that really removes text.
- [PDF for healthcare practices](https://docugrip.com/pdf-for-healthcare): Under 45 CFR 164.524 a practice must act on a patient records request within 30 days (one 30-day extension) and give an electronic copy in the form requested when readily producible; Safe Harbor de-identification (164.514(b)(2)) removes 18 identifiers. Covers assembling records, OCR, redaction that really removes text, checking it, and fitting upload limits. States plainly that there is no business associate agreement, so signature requests and share links are not for PHI.
- [PDF for architects and contractors](https://docugrip.com/pdf-for-construction): Plan review rules from Seattle (SDCI Tip 106: one PDF per set, 500 MB, unlocked, no zip, file names up to 200 characters) and Roseville, California (195 MB, one flat bookmark per sheet, 2 × 2 inch stamp space). Covers merging, bookmarking each sheet, rotation, page size, unlocking, compressing and renaming, and overlaying two revisions of a sheet (removed in red, added in green). States that flattening covers form fields only and that the overlay needs sheets saved at the same size and position.
- [PDF for real estate agents](https://docugrip.com/pdf-for-real-estate): Brokers keep transaction records for years: three from closing in California (B&P §10148), at least four in Texas (22 TAC §535.2(h)) in a format readily available to the Commission. Covers filling and signing, one searchable PDF per transaction, PDF/A for archiving and redaction before sharing. States that there is no notarization or county recording.
- [PDF for researchers](https://docugrip.com/pdf-for-researchers): Double-blind submission requires anonymizing more than the document properties: embedded images carry their own metadata and the file name is part of the submission. Covers stripping metadata, checking what is left, and meeting size limits.
- [Alternative to DocuSign](https://docugrip.com/docusign-alternative): Signs a PDF without transmission, on the free tier, with no per-envelope charge. States plainly that this is a signature ON a document, not a certified signing workflow with an audit trail and identity verification — if the signature must stand up in a dispute, DocuSign is the right tool.
- [Alternative to PandaDoc](https://docugrip.com/pandadoc-alternative): Covers the document side — build, fill, sign, merge, convert — without the proposal pipeline. Says clearly that tracking who opened a proposal and when needs a server, which this does not have.
- [Alternative to Foxit](https://docugrip.com/foxit-alternative): The everyday PDF jobs with nothing to install and no license. Foxit remains the answer for offline desktop deployment across a managed fleet and for its SDK.
- [Alternative to pdfFiller](https://docugrip.com/pdffiller-alternative): Fill and create fillable PDF forms without transmission, with no subscription required and no upload. A hosted form service still wins where you need stored submissions and a shared team library.
- [Alternative to Adobe Acrobat](https://docugrip.com/adobe-acrobat-alternative): What is different about a PDF toolkit that never transmits the document: no subscription required, no install, no upload, and no file size limit. Also states plainly where Acrobat remains the better choice — prepress, advanced editing and audited signature workflows.
- [Alternative to Smallpdf](https://docugrip.com/smallpdf-alternative): A toolkit that processes documents without transmitting them. Explains what to check for yourself in any online PDF service, including this one, rather than presenting a comparison table that goes stale.
- [Alternative to Sejda](https://docugrip.com/sejda-alternative): Documents are never uploaded; over 100 tools including signature requests and team plans. States where Sejda may suit better: a desktop app and a cheaper yearly desktop-and-web plan.
- [Alternative to PDF24](https://docugrip.com/pdf24-alternative): Nothing to install on any platform, documents never uploaded, plus signature requests and team plans. States where PDF24 may suit better: free Windows desktop program for occasional edits.
- [Alternative to PDFgear](https://docugrip.com/pdfgear-alternative): No download, documents never uploaded, signature requests, Bates numbering and team billing. States where PDFgear may suit better: free installed apps for personal editing.
- [Alternative to iLovePDF](https://docugrip.com/ilovepdf-alternative): The same jobs without sending files to a server, without a task counter and without a watermark. Includes where a hosted service is still the right answer — shared team storage and integrations.
- [Legal](https://docugrip.com/legal): One place for every legal and compliance document: privacy, terms, cookies, GDPR, security and accessibility. The short version is at the top — for tools that never transmits the document, the file is never received, so most of what a privacy policy usually covers does not apply.
- [Cookie policy](https://docugrip.com/cookies): The complete list. Most visitors get no cookie at all; NEXT_LOCALE is set only if a language is chosen; four cookies exist only around signing in (session, refresh, a signed-in marker holding no token, and a ten-minute sign-in flow cookie). No advertising cookies, no third-party trackers, and therefore no consent banner. Tool history is kept in local storage — tool id, time and file count, never file names or contents.
- [GDPR](https://docugrip.com/gdpr): What is processed, on what basis, and what rights a user has. For tools that process without transmission, no document is ever sent to us, so there is no processing of file contents at all. Explains data subject rights and how to exercise them.
- [License and terms of use](https://docugrip.com/license): What you may do with the tools, what the output is yours to do with, the limits of warranty, and the open-source components the site is built on.
- [Site map](https://docugrip.com/sitemap): Every tool and page on DocuGrip on one screen, grouped by family. Generated from the tool registry, so it cannot fall out of step with what actually exists. Roadmap tools are listed too, marked as not yet live.
- [PDF converter](https://docugrip.com/pdf-converter): Every conversion DocuGrip does, split by what you start with: files that are not PDF, and files that are. The split is derived from each tool declared input types rather than guessed from its name, because the registry records what a tool accepts and not what it produces.
- [Supported formats](https://docugrip.com/supported-formats): Every file format DocuGrip accepts and which tools take it — PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, HEIC, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, EPUB, HTML, Pages, Keynote, Numbers. Derived from each tool declared input types, not a hand-written list.
- [Release notes](https://docugrip.com/release-notes): What shipped and when, limited to changes a user can actually see: new tools, fixed defects, platform changes such as offline support. Refactors and internal work are deliberately left out.
- [Service status](https://docugrip.com/status): What can and cannot go down. Almost nothing on DocuGrip transmits the document, so there is nothing to have an outage; once a tool has been run it keeps working with no network at all. There is no live status feed — this page says so plainly rather than showing a green light that means nothing.
- [Integrations](https://docugrip.com/integrations): There are none yet, and the page says so. No tool transmits the document, so an integration that moves a document to a server has not been built. A browser extension exists but is not published; installing DocuGrip as an app already works.
- [Teams](https://docugrip.com/teams): Team accounts work: you create a team, invite people and manage seats. A team can also use every tool today with no account at all, because the work runs on the visitor device rather than on a server — so an unpaid team of fifty costs what a team of one costs. Paid Team is $7 per seat a month or $70 per seat a year (two months free), two seats minimum, with the daily cap lifted on every seat. Shared templates, brand kit and audit trails are planned.
- [Resume builder](https://docugrip.com/resume-builder): Builds a CV without ever transmitting the document and downloads it as a print-ready PDF: no upload, no account. Six templates — two free (plain single-column, the format applicant tracking systems parse most reliably) and four paid (color system, typographic hierarchy, side bar). No watermark on any of them; the free/paid difference is the design.
- [Data Processing Addendum](https://docugrip.com/dpa): For organizations: part of the terms automatically, countersigned copy on request. DocuGrip acts as processor for account data, signature requests and messages (documents opened with the tools are never received). Sub-processor categories with 14-day notice, EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Module 2/3) plus UK addendum, breach notice within 48 hours, deletion within 30 days, CCPA service-provider terms and the security measures.
- [Back DocuGrip](https://docugrip.com/back): DocuGrip Backers: a membership for people who want to fund DocuGrip. Backer is $15 a month or $135 a year and includes everything in Pro plus a Backer badge; a one-time supporter pack is $15 for 30 days. Organizations can back DocuGrip on a yearly invoice. Backing is a membership, not a tax-deductible donation.
- [Visa application documents, prepared step by step](https://docugrip.com/visa-application-documents): Five steps with the tool for each: passport photo cropped to an official size, paper documents scanned to PDF, passwords removed from bank statements (ImmiAccount refuses secured PDFs), pages combined (IRCC keeps one file per field) and files compressed under the IRCC, ImmiAccount and USCIS limits, which are listed with sources.
- [Job application documents as PDFs](https://docugrip.com/job-application-documents): CV and cover letter to PDF, a check that applicant tracking software can read the text, certificates combined, attachments kept under email and portal limits (Gmail 25 MB per message), and the offer letter signed.
- [New job paperwork: W-4, I-9, filled and signed](https://docugrip.com/new-job-paperwork): Fill the fillable W-4 and I-9, sign, scan the papers the employer wants copies of, combine into one file and password-protect it before emailing because the forms carry a Social Security number. Links the official form pages and an employment agreement template.
- [Rental application documents for a landlord](https://docugrip.com/rental-application-documents): Fill the application, scan pay stubs and ID, black out account numbers the landlord did not ask for (removed, not covered), combine, password-protect, and sign the lease or send it for signature. Links a residential lease template.
- [Submitting coursework as a PDF](https://docugrip.com/submit-coursework-pdf): Convert from Word, OCR scanned pages because similarity checks read text, number pages, combine appendices and compress under the Turnitin limit (under 100 MB and 800 pages, at least 20 words of text), listed with its source.
- [PDF statistics 2026: verified numbers, with sources](https://docugrip.com/pdf-statistics): Every number from a primary source, dated. From Common Crawl MIME-type statistics (three latest 2026 crawls): about 21 million PDFs per crawl, roughly 1% of crawled pages, about 180 times more than Word documents; more PDFs detected by content than declared by servers. Also official PDF upload limits with sources and measured processing times. Says which widely repeated figures were left out because no primary source could be checked.
- [US tax season 2027: forms, deadlines and PDF rules](https://docugrip.com/tax-season): From the IRS instructions (checked 28 September 2026): 1099-NEC and W-2 due February 1, 2027 (the January 31 rule falls on a Sunday); 1099-MISC to recipients February 1, to the IRS March 1 on paper or March 31 electronically; Form 1040 usually April 15. Copy A printed from the IRS website is not scannable and must not be filed; 10 or more information returns in total may require e-filing; the 1099 reporting minimum is $2,000 for tax years after 2025; payee copies may truncate the TIN. Links each form page and the tools to fill, sign, split and protect them. Does not file or calculate tax.
- [Add DocuGrip to your guide — kit for librarians and educators](https://docugrip.com/for-educators): Ready-to-paste material for library guides, course pages and help articles: the three LibGuides link fields (name, URL, description), a two-sentence description, short blurbs for upload limits, scanned readings, combining files, redaction and court e-filing, an HTML link, a current screenshot with alt text, and a plain privacy summary (files opened in the tools are never uploaded; signature requests keep an encrypted copy until finished; nothing is charged unless a plan is chosen and paid; no watermark; no tracking cookies). Linking needs no permission and DocuGrip offers nothing in return for links.
- [Court e-filing PDF rules: size limits, searchable text, PDF/A and bookmarks](https://docugrip.com/court-efiling-pdf-rules): A dated atlas of what 50 US court e-filing systems require of a PDF, each field read from the court’s own rules, help page or CM/ECF Court Information page (checked 18 October 2026); where a source is silent the card says so. Federal: Supreme Court 100 MB per file and PDF/A; courts of appeals — Second Circuit 10 MB, Third and Fourth 50 MB (Fourth: text-searchable briefs, 250 MB per entry), Ninth 100 MB per attachment, Tenth 30 MB and no encrypted PDFs, Federal Circuit 60 MB and flattened PDFs; district courts set their own CM/ECF limit — S.D.N.Y. 15.1 MB, D. Md. and D. Ariz. 30 MB, N.D. Ill., S.D. Tex., D. Del. and C.D. Cal. 35 MB, the other listed districts 50 MB, W.D. Wash. 100 MB; bankruptcy courts 35–50 MB. State: Florida portal 50 MB per trial submission and 200 MB per appellate submission; Idaho 50 MB, text-searchable; Illinois 25 MB per document; Michigan 25 MB; North Dakota Supreme Court 75 MB; Wisconsin 50 MB circuit, 20 MB appellate, no active content; Oregon 50 MB per document, 75 MB per envelope; Arkansas eFlex 2 MB per document; North Carolina 26.21 MB per filing; Oklahoma 10 MB; Washington limited-jurisdiction courts 35 MB with OCR at 300 dpi; Connecticut 50 MB; New Mexico district rules 35 MB and 6 MB; NYSCEF PDF/A at 200 dpi; Pennsylvania PACFile under 500 MB; Texas 300 dpi and no security. Each rule links to the tool that meets it, and size links open the compressor at a safe target. CSV and JSON under CC BY 4.0.
- [PDF upload size limits for official portals](https://docugrip.com/pdf-upload-size-limits): A dated table of official upload limits for 50 portals and services, each read from the provider’s own page: immigration (IRCC as low as 2 MB, commonly 4 MB, one file per field; USCIS 12 MB per file; ImmiAccount 5 MB; EOIR ECAS 25 MB; EU Settlement Scheme 6 MB), government and tax (IRS Documentation Upload Tool 15 MB, HealthCare.gov 10 MB, VA.gov claim status 25 MB, USPTO Patent Center 25 MB per PDF, HMRC compliance checks 15 MB, Companies House 4 MB, Centrelink 10 MB per upload), courts (CM/ECF set per court, U.S. Tax Court DAWSON 250 MB, New York Appellate Division 100 MB), jobs (USAJOBS 5 MB, Handshake 1 MB, LinkedIn under 2 MB recommended), school (UCAS 5 MB, LSAC 3 MB, Liaison CAS 15 MB, Turnitin under 100 MB), email (Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo Mail and Proton Mail 25 MB, iCloud Mail and Zoho Mail 20 MB), AI assistants (ChatGPT 512 MB and 2 million tokens, Claude 30 MB per project file, Gemini 100 MB, Notion free plan 5 MB), e-signature (Docusign 50 MB per document, Dropbox Sign 40 MB, Acrobat Sign 10 MB) and selling (Etsy and Shopify 20 MB, KDP paperback 650 MB) — with the exact target to type into a compressor, whose size box counts a megabyte as 1,000,000 bytes. Each portal also has its own page at /compress-pdf-for/<portal> (ircc, uscis, immiaccount, eoir-ecas, etsy, turnitin, gmail, indian-exam-forms, usajobs, irs-document-upload) where the compressor opens with that target already set. /compress-pdf-to-size is the exact-size page: the compressor with quick targets (100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB, 5 MB, 10 MB) and a table of common limits, what to type for each and where you meet it.
- [Solutions & sales](https://docugrip.com/solutions): The single door for anything beyond self-serve plans: team and organization plans, procurement and security questionnaires, partnerships, custom tools and workflows, developer access and education. A person replies within one business day; custom work gets a written price before it starts.
- [Affiliate program](https://docugrip.com/affiliates): For reviewers, creators and consultants: 30% of the net amount of each payment made through a referral link, including subscription renewals for 12 months, and 10% off the first payment for the people referred. Commissions clear after 45 days and are paid monthly. Only listed while the program is open.
- [For organizations](https://docugrip.com/enterprise): Explains what an organization gets and does not get. Because every tool runs in the visitor's own browser, there is no data-residency question to answer — competitors charge for processing regions because their conversions cost server time. The free tier has a small daily run allowance; paid plans remove it. Teams can buy seats and invite members; there is no SSO, audit trail or signature-request flow yet, and the page says so plainly.
- [Accessibility statement](https://docugrip.com/accessibility): States where the site itself stands against WCAG 2.1 AA, with the numbers that were measured on the production build and an explicit list of what was not measured. It names two real gaps: the site has not been tested with a real screen reader, and the PDFs the resume builder generates carry no tag tree, so they would fail two checks in our own accessibility tool.
- [Pricing](https://docugrip.com/pricing): What is free and why, and what a paid plan changes: the daily cap goes and the ad goes; there is no file size ceiling on any plan. Day access is $3, Pro is $11/month, Team is $7 per person.
- [How your files are handled](https://docugrip.com/security): Which tools never transmits the document and what that means in practice.
- [About DocuGrip](https://docugrip.com/about): What the project is and who builds it.
- [Contact](https://docugrip.com/contact): How to reach the team.
- [Privacy policy](https://docugrip.com/privacy): What is and is not collected. No advertising pixel and nothing that follows you to other sites; visits are counted with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookie and stores nothing on the device. One functional cookie remembers the chosen language, and sign-in cookies exist only for accounts; nothing is used for advertising or profiling.
- [Refunds and disputes](https://docugrip.com/refunds): When a payment goes back, when it does not, and who to write to.
- [Terms of use](https://docugrip.com/terms): The terms that apply to using the tools.
- [Accounts](https://docugrip.com/account): Accounts exist but no tool needs one — every tool runs without signing in. An account raises the daily allowance and carries a paid plan; sign-in is a one-time emailed link, with no password.
- [Request signatures](https://docugrip.com/request-signatures): Send a PDF to one or more people who sign in order, with the fields placed for each signer, email invitations, reminders and an activity record. It is the one feature that stores a document: the file is encrypted before it is sent, and the key travels only inside the signing links.
- [Sign a document you were sent](https://docugrip.com/sign): The page a signing link opens: the signer reviews the encrypted document, fills the fields placed for them and signs, or declines. Signers do not need a DocuGrip account.
- [Redeem an AppSumo code](https://docugrip.com/redeem): Where AppSumo buyers enter their code to turn on lifetime access for their account. Up to five codes can be stacked on one account for more signature requests and web page to PDF runs.
- [Edit a PDF](https://docugrip.com/edit-pdf): Change the words already in a PDF, add text, highlight, cover up and rearrange pages — in one editor with undo for every step. Trying every tool is free. Downloading the edited file needs Pro ($11/month) or a day pass ($3). The single-purpose tools on this site stay free.
