A free Sejda alternative
A free Sejda alternative with no 3-tasks-per-hour cap and no file-count limit.
Sejda is a capable PDF toolkit with a real free tier, but it caps free use at a few tasks per hour and limits pages and file sizes, then offers a Sejda Week Pass or subscription.
PDFCure has no hourly cap and no task counter because there's no server doing the work — it's your browser. Files stay local, and there's no account.
If you keep bumping into Sejda's free limits mid-task, PDFCure removes that ceiling.

Where Sejda does more: Sejda has a desktop app and some form-editing and PDF-editing depth that's hard to match purely in-browser. Its OCR and scanned-PDF handling are strong.
