Nutrient is the document company. We help organizations build, automate, and optimize document-centric workflows — from development to day-to-day execution. Our platform provides PDF SDKs for developers; cloud APIs for serverless document processing; workflow automation tools for business teams; and native integrations with Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. Together, these solutions make documents more intelligent, connected, and responsive to the people who use them — eliminating friction and bringing intelligence into document-driven work without losing control.
Nutrient solves the universal tension organizations face: They want agility and scale, but they’re stuck with outdated document tools. We address critical challenges across three audiences:
For developers — Building reliable document functionality from scratch takes time and constant upkeep. Nutrient provides production-ready SDKs that embed viewing, editing, signing, redaction, and collaboration into apps — eliminating months of development work.
For IT teams — Legacy document systems create security risks, tool sprawl, and governance gaps. Nutrient delivers enterprise-grade solutions with SOC 2 Type 2-audited infrastructure, full IT control, and native platform integrations that reduce shadow IT.
For business teams — Manual document processes consume up to 30 percent of employee time and create approval bottlenecks. Nutrient Workflow automates these tasks with drag-and-drop tools, cutting process costs by 60–90 percent, while maintaining complete audit trails.
Nutrient stands apart by combining deep technical credibility with practical outcomes: faster development cycles, future-proof customizations, embedded intelligence, and the flexibility to move at the speed of change.
Technical foundation: Our SDKs are built on PDFium, the same rendering engine trusted by Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Dropbox. We forked and invested in it early, giving customers unmatched reliability, faster updates, and security benefits competitors can’t claim.
Complete platform: Unlike point solutions, Nutrient supports the entire document lifecycle across every user type. Whether you’re a developer embedding a viewer, an IT admin deploying SharePoint integrations, or an operations leader automating approvals — all products work together seamlessly.
AI-native architecture: Intelligence isn’t bolted on — it’s embedded across SDKs, APIs, and workflow tools. From redaction and comparison to summarization and smart approvals, our AI capabilities work where work happens. We’re also building toward an agentic future where documents can be acted on via prompt, watched by agents, and reviewed through structured, auditable histories.
Proven at scale: We’re trusted by 15 percent of Global 500 companies, power more than 1 billion document interactions annually, and have 20+ years of industry experience. Competitors may surface similar features, but they often rely on fragile architecture or shortcuts that don’t scale.
Nutrient SDKs are developer-first tools that let you embed advanced document capabilities directly into web, mobile, and desktop applications.
