What is Soda PDF?

Soda PDF is a PDF editing and document management platform available through a web app and Windows desktop software. It lets users edit PDF text and images, convert files between PDF and formats such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and images, merge and split documents, compress files, annotate content, and use OCR to make scanned documents searchable.

Soda PDF also supports fillable forms, electronic signatures, password protection, permissions, and document review tools. Its online version works in a browser, while the Windows desktop app can be used offline for editing, conversion, merging, security, and other PDF tasks.

Soda PDF is designed for individuals, professionals, and teams that need to create, edit, convert, sign, or organize PDFs for contracts, reports, forms, archives, and other everyday document workflows.

How Soda PDF works in Shift

Adding Soda PDF to Shift keeps your PDF tools alongside the other apps involved in your document workflow. Add Soda PDF to a dedicated Space with your email, cloud storage, project-management tools, or business apps so the files and services you use together stay organized.

If you work with separate Soda PDF accounts, Shift can help keep those accounts accessible alongside one another without repeatedly signing in and out.

Pair Soda PDF with tools like Google Drive, Dropbox, Gmail, Outlook, or your preferred document-management platform so you can move between source files, editing, review, and sharing without searching through a crowded collection of browser tabs.
