For developers
Open-source Go SDKfor everything PDF.
The same engine that powers convertpdfgo.com, packaged as a Go library and a Docker image. MIT licensed. No API key. No rate limits. Run it yourself.
Install in one line
go get github.com/infosec554/golang-pdf-skdThree calls, three problems solved
package main
import (
"log"
pdf "github.com/infosec554/golang-pdf-skd"
)
func main() {
// Compress a PDF down to recommended quality.
if err := pdf.Compress("input.pdf", "out.pdf", pdf.QualityRecommended); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Merge several PDFs in order.
if err := pdf.Merge([]string{"a.pdf", "b.pdf", "c.pdf"}, "merged.pdf"); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Convert Word to PDF (uses LibreOffice under the hood).
if err := pdf.WordToPDF("report.docx", "report.pdf"); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}Every function in the SDK has a synchronous variant for one-off jobs and a context-aware variant for cancellable workflows.
Same coverage as the web app
The SDK exposes every operation that powers convertpdfgo.com. If a tool works in the browser, you can call it from Go.
Compress
tiered quality presets
Merge / Split
byte-stable output

MIT licensed
Use it commercially. Modify it. Redistribute it. Just keep the license notice.
Docker image
Run the full toolbox in a single container — LibreOffice + poppler + Tesseract bundled.

Bug reports, PRs, and feature requests welcome on GitHub. We respond within a working day.
Prefer not to self-host?
A hosted REST API is launching soon — same endpoints as the SDK, but Bearer-token authenticated, with managed scaling and asynq-backed jobs for the heavy lifters. Drop us a line at api@convertpdfgo.com to join the waitlist.
