Pricing

Free to convert. The only paid line is batch size — pay once, own it.

Smart re-layout, self-check, and full-sheet rendering are free, with no signup. The free desktop app converts up to five files in one run; Pro lifts that cap. That is the whole fence.

Free covers browser + desktop with every feature; the only difference in Pro is batch size (more than 5 files per run). No accounts, no signup. The desktop app and add-in run fully on your device — nothing uploaded; the free web tool converts your file on our server and deletes it right after each request. Never stored.

Before you download

Things you can check yourself

5 checks, each one re-run against the real artefact · last verified 12 October 2026

  1. Signed installer

    The installer is Authenticode-signed and the signature verifies: publisher Guowei Wu, certified by Microsoft ID Verified CS AOC CA 03.

    Right-click the downloaded file, then Properties, then Digital Signatures to check this yourself. The signature is RFC-3161 timestamped, so it keeps verifying after the signing certificate itself expires. The app also replaces itself when a new version ships, so the file you check today is not necessarily the one running next month.

    How this was checked

    Authenticode signature on CrazySmartPDF-win-Setup.exe (83170472 bytes), issued by Microsoft ID Verified CS AOC CA 03. Verify it yourself: right-click the file, then Properties, then Digital Signatures.

  2. Where your files go

    The Excel add-in and the Windows desktop app convert on your own machine: your spreadsheet is read, rendered and written to PDF locally, and the app's interface and preview are served from a folder on disk rather than from a server. The free browser converter is the one exception and says so — that file is uploaded, converted and deleted, never stored.

    • While it runs it makes 2 outbound connections, and none of them carries any file content: validating a Pro license key you typed in (crazysmartpdf.com); checking a release feed for a newer version (github.com).
    • It updates itself without asking: on launch it checks that release feed for a newer version and, if there is one, downloads it, replaces the installed copy and restarts.
    • Installing it can reach Microsoft: the app needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime, and if your PC does not already have it the installer downloads it from go.microsoft.com (which redirects to msedge.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com).
    • The same interface also powers the free web converter, so crazysmartpdf-convert.fly.dev is inside the bundle. That path only runs in a browser, where the file is uploaded, converted and deleted.
    • It opens whop.com in your browser when you click through to buy — opening the checkout page.

Straight answers

The questions people actually ask.

Is the free version stripped down?

No. Every feature — smart row-atomic layout, the self-check, full-sheet rendering, per-sheet rules — is in the free desktop app and the free web tool. The single thing Pro changes is how many files you can batch in one run.

Is Pro a subscription?

No. Pro is a one-time purchase. You pay once and own it — no renewals, no monthly fee.

What counts as a “batch”?

One run of the desktop app. Point it at files or a folder and it converts them in a single pass, then self-checks each result. Free clears up to 5 files per run; Pro removes that cap so a whole folder goes through at once.

Do I need to make an account?

No account for the free browser tool or the free desktop app. Pro is unlocked with a license key you activate on your machine — nothing to sign up for.
