Why use this
- You hit Sejda's 3-tasks-per-hour cap: Sejda's hourly rate-limit is the most-cited reason people leave. PDFWix has no hourly cap on browser-side tools. Run 30 merges in an hour if you want to.
- Your file is over 200 pages or 50 MB: Sejda's free tier rejects files over 200 pages or 50 MB. PDFWix handles much larger files in the browser (the practical ceiling is your device's RAM, not an artificial cap). Real-world this means a…
- You handle confidential files and want browser-side processing: Sejda processes everything server-side, even though deletion is fast. PDFWix runs most tools entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your laptop. For sensitive documents that's a different…
- You don't want yet another subscription: $7.50/month for Sejda Web Pro is reasonable but adds up — $63–$89/year. PDFWix's everyday tools are free with no plan to upgrade.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Sejda's free-tier limit?
Three tasks per hour, 200 pages per document, and 50 MB per file. Cross any one and you're prompted to upgrade. PDFWix has none of those caps on browser-side tools.
Does Sejda's free tier have limits beyond the general 200-page cap?
Yes — some individual tools have stricter limits than the general 200-page/50 MB/3-tasks-per-hour cap. OCR is limited to 10 pages per task on the free tier. Some conversion tools cap free output at 20-50 pages per conversion, depending on the tool. Batch operations (processing many files at once) are capped at 30…
Is Sejda's editor really better than PDFWix's?
For one specific task — editing the text inside legacy PDFs where the original fonts and layout aren't easily reflowable — yes, Sejda's editor is more mature. For basic markup, fill-in fields, signing, watermarking and adding text, PDFWix is comparable and free.
