Introducing Stirling V2

Introducing Stirling V2

A lot has changed since Anthony launched our first product on GitHub two years ago. With 18M downloads, 53K companies, and 72% of the Fortune 500, Stirling has grown from an engineer's side project into critical PDF infrastructure around the world. We created V2 to meet the needs of the many teams, companies, and governments that now rely on us to work on their most important documents.

What's new

• Redesigned interface. Every tool is now fast, modern, and scalable.

• New developer platform. Use our tools programmatically, in production, and at scale.

• AI & Agent pipelines. Ingest large volumes of PDFs and give your AI agents the power to work on PDFs.

• Advanced automation. Save sequences of tools as repeatable workflows, no code required.

• Unrelenting privacy. Your files and data remain yours alone, no exceptions.

If you used Stirling before

The tools are still here: merge, split, compress, convert, redact, sign, OCR, compare, watermark, flatten, and dozens more. Now you can create an account and keep your settings, no migration needed. Our old sites hosted at stirlingpdf.com and stirlingpdf.io will now redirect to stirling.com, where you can try our redesigned product and check out our new branding.

Pricing & credits

The new Stirling is free to try, whether you're interested in our workspace or our API. We structured our plans so that casual users never have to pay and can comfortably switch from other services. When you're ready for professional workloads or production API use, we offer the most affordable plans in the market.

What's next

In about a month, we'll release Stirling V2 for our desktop apps on Windows, Mac, and Linux. We'll also make it available to self-host through Docker and GitHub, where this year we became the most popular PDF app. Whether you're a long-time Acrobat user or you're exploring the programmable future of documents, Stirling V2 is a great place to start. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
