Frequently asked questions
How many PDFs can I search at once?+
You can load up to 200 PDF files per session. Each file can be up to 50 MB. There is no limit on the number of pages per file.
Is there a free tool to search multiple PDF files?+
Yes — PDFSearch is completely free. Upload any number of PDFs (up to 200) and search all of them with one query. No subscription or account required.
Does searching multiple PDFs at once work with URLs?+
Yes. Paste multiple PDF URLs into the URL input (one per line) and PDFSearch will fetch and search all of them simultaneously.
How is PDFSearch different from Ctrl+F?+
Ctrl+F only searches the currently open file and only works one document at a time. PDFSearch searches across all your PDFs simultaneously with a single query — like Ctrl+F for hundreds of documents at once.
Can I search large PDF collections online?+
Yes. PDFSearch is designed for large-scale document search. Load your entire PDF collection and search all of them at once — ideal for document-heavy workflows.
