FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert AI to PDF?+
Upload your AI file (or drag it onto the box above), wait a few seconds while StandardsPDF converts it in your browser, then download the PDF. There is nothing to install and no account required.
Is converting AI to PDF free?+
Yes. AI to PDF conversion is free on the StandardsPDF free tier – no watermark, no signup, and no credit card. A Pro tier lifts the file-size and daily limits if you need more.
Will the PDF keep the quality of my AI?+
StandardsPDF aims for the highest fidelity the PDF format allows, so your image comes through looking as close to the original as possible. Some format-specific details may adapt where PDF works differently to AI.
Will the PDF keep the pages and text from my AI?+
Page order, selectable text, images and links from your AI are preserved so the PDF stays true to the original.
How long does a AI to PDF conversion take?+
Most AI files convert to PDF in a few seconds. Larger or higher-resolution files take a little longer, but there is never a queue on the free tier.
Is my AI file kept private during AI to PDF conversion?+
Yes. Your AI is processed in an isolated worker, never shared, and permanently deleted from our servers within 60 minutes. Most AI to PDF conversions happen right in your browser.
Do I need to install anything to convert AI to PDF?+
No. Converting AI to PDF runs entirely in the browser – no desktop software, no extensions and no account for the free tier.
What is the maximum AI file size I can convert to PDF?+
Up to 100 MB per AI on the free tier and 2 GB on Pro. If your AI is larger, split it first or upgrade for the higher limit.
