PDF4me API pairs browser-based PDF tools with REST endpoints and SDKs for document workflows. Its web tools handle conversion, merging, compression, splitting, signing, and editing; the API supports conversion, OCR, signing, and parsing. AI processing can parse invoices, classify files, and extract structured data as JSON. SDKs are listed for C#, Java, Python, JavaScript (Node.js), and Salesforce Apex. Integrations include Power Automate, Make, Zapier, n8n, RapidAPI, Microsoft Teams, and Google Workspace. Most endpoints use one API call per document; high-quality conversion, OCR, and AI features use one call per page. The free one-time packs list 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000, 10,000, or 25,000 calls, each at 0.00 USD per once, with approximate per-call rates shown in plan details. A custom sales option is listed for more than 25,000 calls, with no price stated. API documents are processed in EU or US regions depending on account setup, deleted within minutes, and not retained for training, according to PDF4me. The service is developed by Ynoox GmbH in Hedingen, Switzerland.
