Frequently asked questions

  • What is Lumin vs Lumin Tools?

    Lumin Tools is a sub-site of Lumin hosting more advanced editing features such as the PDF Unlocker tool, OCR reader, Convert, Compress and more. Both sites are completely free to use.

  • Is Lumin free?

    Sure is! Lots of our tools are free. You can draw on PDFs, comment on them, add text, signatures and images; all the basics are covered.

    Our paid plans expand your toolkit: you can edit PDF text, redact information, create fillable fields and much more. Discover our plans to learn which one is the right fit for you.

  • How do I use Lumin?

    Lumin works on your browser, or you can download our desktop app and keep Lumin handy on your computer. We’ve also got a mobile and tablet app which includes Lumin’s most popular features.

  • Can I just compress a PDF and go?

    Yes. You need to create an account in order to use Lumin Tools, but it’s easily done and you’ll be compressing files in no time. You’ll have a range of other PDF features at your disposal too, should you choose to explore them.

  • Why is compressing better than zipping?

    When you zip a PDF file and send it from person to person, your files have a higher chance of becoming corrupt along the way. Lumin’s Compress tool is fast, easy and free, saving you time and peace of mind.
