LeefMark Compare Free and Pro

Professional PDF editing for Windows, without the subscription.

Not everything needs a subscription. LeefMark is a clean, simple app for the PDF work you do every day. The basic tools are free, and the advanced ones are a one-time purchase.

Compare Free and Pro

Coming soon to the Microsoft Store, for Windows 11.

Mark up and measure a drawing, then send it to anyone. Your markups are standard PDF comments, so clients and contractors see them in the PDF reader they already use.

Why LeefMark?

Let's be honest: there's no shortage of PDF editors. Most are either overkill with a monthly bill to match, or cheap and cluttered with upgrade nags at every turn. LeefMark is built to be neither.

The big subscription suites

Capable, but billed every month for every person, for as long as you use them. They usually require an online account and fill your inbox with marketing email.

The bargain editors

Cheap or free up front, then crowded toolbars, watermarks on the free version, and upgrade prompts in front of the tools you need.

LeefMark

The professional tools in a clean, focused app. You pay once, and there's no account, no watermark, and no nagging.

Capabilities

Core tools are free, with no watermark or time limit. Professional tools are a one-time purchase.
