Frequently Asked Questions
Which systems does PDF2Go Desktop run on?
Windows, macOS and Linux. The macOS version runs on Macs with Apple Silicon (arm64). For Linux there is an AppImage that runs without installing, plus .deb and .rpm packages.
Is there a version for Intel Macs?
No, the macOS download is for Apple Silicon (arm64) only. On a Mac with an Intel processor, use PDF2Go in your browser: it works there with nothing to install.
Does PDF2Go Desktop work offline?
Yes. Most apps run on your computer without an internet connection, and your files stay there. A few apps need the PDF2Go servers. The app marks them, and it uploads nothing until you switch online apps on.
Is the desktop app free?
You can download it and try it for free. To keep converting once the trial ends, you need a plan that includes the desktop app. The pricing page shows which plans do.
How do I use my PDF2Go plan in the desktop app?

How does the desktop app stay up to date?
It downloads new versions by itself. When an update is ready, restart the app to start using it.
