We’re excited to announce a major update to our PDF Jack app – starting with Version 8.4.8 a new Credit-Based System is introduced that gives you more freedom, more flexibility, and more control over how you use our powerful PDF editing features.
🚀 What’s Changing?
Starting with our latest release, we are retiring the “Standard Edition” to simplify our upgrade options. Now, you can enjoy two clear paths:
- Free Edition – Use all features forever, with unobtrusive watermarks on edited files.
- Credit Packs – Remove watermarks only when you need to, using affordable credits.
- Premium Edition – Get unlimited watermark-free editing and access to all features for one simple price.
💡 Why We’re Doing This
We’ve listened to our community, and many users told us they love using all features for free but don’t always want to commit to a full premium plan. At the same time, some users only need watermark-free edits occasionally.
The credit system solves both problems:
- No upfront subscription – Pay only for what you use.
- Affordable for casual users – Get started for as little as $2.09.
- No feature restrictions – Even free users can access all tools!
🔑 How the Credit System Works
- 1 Credit = 1 Watermark-Free Save for Page Edits
- Buy credits in packs starting from $2.09 for 10 credits.
- Credits have no expiry – use them whenever you need.
- Works for all operations: merge, split, images to PDF, annotation editing, and more.
Example: Merge 1-3 PDFs without a watermark → costs 1 credit. (For more, the credits increase in blocks of 3 files)
Example: Convert 6 images to a single PDF without watermark → costs 3 credits (tiered pricing for bigger tasks).
🌟 Why You’ll Love This Update
- Free Forever – Use all features with unobtrusive watermarks at no cost.
- No Lock-In – Buy credits only when you need them.
- Perfect for Everyone – Casual users can spend less, power users can still go Premium for unlimited use.
💎 Upgrade to Premium for the Best Value
For frequent editors, Premium Edition is still the smartest choice:
- Unlimited watermark-free edits
- All exclusive features unlocked
- One flat price

You make it really difficult to find where you can upgrade to a Premium edition. I’m still looking and so far all I can find is a “pay as you go” version, which I hate!
Hi Julie,
You can upgrade to the Premium Edition from the ‘Upgrade’ menu on the left side of the home page. The Pay-as-you-go option is meant only for casual or occasional users. If you need any assistance, please feel free to raise a support ticket.
