A CUT ABOVE THE REST

Why choose Nutrient over the competition?

Experience how the industry’s most complete document SDK helps your team ship faster, scale smarter, and deliver AI-powered workflows your users will love.

Apryse

Nutrient runs on a modern codebase with fewer legacy constraints, a battle‑tested rendering engine, and AI‑native features across web and mobile. You release updates sooner and with cutting-edge features.

PDF.js

PDF.js is fine for basic viewing — but once you need annotations, signatures, or forms, it turns into a fragile stack of plugins and patches. Nutrient gives you a complete API with built-in rendering, collaboration, and AI workflows.

PDF.js Express

PDF.js Express is a lightly repackaged viewer with slow updates, limited functionality, and no real innovation — mostly a free entry point to upsell Apryse’s paid tools.
