Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: 2026-08-08
Participation in affiliate programs
PDF Master Lab participates in affiliate marketing programs. That means we may place links to third-party products, services or software on this website. If you click those links and later purchase or subscribe, we may earn a commission.
- The site participates in one or more affiliate programs
- Links in “Recommended tools” or similar sections may be affiliate links
- Ads are labeled where required, including with an “Ad” marker
- Programs and partners may change over time
What a commission means for you
When an affiliate commission is earned, it is paid by the partner to the site operator. It does not increase the price you pay. You should still judge every third-party offer on its own merits, including pricing, terms and privacy practices on the partner’s site.
- Commissions do not add a surcharge to your purchase
- Partner checkout prices are set by the partner, not by us
- We may receive compensation if you buy after clicking
- You are never required to click affiliate links to use our PDF tools
Independence of the PDF tools
Affiliate relationships help fund free access to Merge, Split, Compress and PDF to Image. They do not control how those tools process your files, which options appear in the editors, or the order in which core tools are listed in primary navigation.
Your PDFs continue to be processed in your browser and are not uploaded to PDF Master Lab as part of an affiliate arrangement.
- Affiliate placement does not change merge, split, compress or convert logic
- We do not reorder core tools to favor an advertiser’s processing method
- Sponsored recommendations are separate from the on-device PDF engines
- Privacy of local processing is not traded for affiliate payouts
Transparency and questions
We believe clear disclosure builds trust. If a section contains affiliate links, we say so nearby. If you have questions about a specific recommendation or how we are compensated, contact us using the address on the Contact page.
- Look for short disclosures near affiliate sections
- Read partner terms before you buy anything
- Email questions via the Contact page
- This disclosure may be updated when programs change; see the date above
