After launching in 2022, the UPDF brand quickly won over 3 million users worldwide. Thursday’s launch of UPDF 2.0 takes PDF editing to the next level with enhanced AI capabilities, streamlined workflows and powerful new features.

UPDF 2.0 introduces 18 game-changing features that revolutionize how you work with PDFs. The standout additions include six new batch PDF tools: batch OCR, compression, watermark addition, background insertion, header and footer management, and batch element removal. These tools let you process multiple documents simultaneously, dramatically boosting productivity.

The UPDF interface gets a complete makeover with a simpler, more stylish design that follows the “What You See is What You Get” principle. UPDF 2.0’s revolutionary “3-Click Rule” reduces complex workflows by up to 80%. Tasks that previously required 15 clicks — like compressing large files, flattening layers and adding passwords — now take just three.

Smart document creation features let you generate PDFs directly from ID cards or convert multipage PDFs into long, single images perfect for presentations. Enhanced security comes via the Sanitize Document feature that removes hidden metadata, while the Form Field List ensures error-free form handling.

Everyone who buys a UPDF license will receive free lifetime upgrades, and current UPDF 1.0 users can upgrade to version 2.0 at no additional cost.
