◆ SELECTPDF LIBRARY · .NET · FREE TRIAL V26.3 · 2026 VOL 3

SelectPdf Library for .NET — download v26.3.

The same commercial library that powers production at thousands of sites — free to evaluate, with no feature limits and no page cap.

§INSTALL VIA NUGET

Four packages cover every runtime.

NuGet is the recommended install path. Pick the main package for your runtime, then add the engine package only if you need Blink or Chromium — WebKit and WebKit Restricted are bundled with the main package and require nothing extra.

Select.Pdf.NetCore

Main package for modern .NET. Bundles the WebKit and WebKit Restricted rendering engines out of the box.

terminal 
dotnet add package Select.Pdf.NetCore

Using Chromium on the legacy Select.Pdf package? The .NET Framework family has its own Chromium add-on — install it instead of the .NetCore.Chromium.Windows variant above. Blink is only available for the .NetCore family. Select.Pdf.Chromium.Windows · Select.Pdf.Chromium.Windows.x64

x64-optimized variants. Each package above has a sibling *.x64 NuGet build for x64-only deployments (smaller download, no x86 binaries): Select.Pdf.NetCore.x64 · Select.Pdf.x64 · Select.Pdf.NetCore.Blink.x64 · Select.Pdf.NetCore.Chromium.Windows.x64

§RUNTIME & ENGINE SUPPORT

Where the library runs — and which engines you get.

The library is in-process .NET, Windows-only. It runs on .NET Framework 2.0 onward, .NET Core, and .NET 5 through .NET 10 — including Azure Web Apps with no plan-tier restrictions. Three of the four rendering engines reach all the way back to .NET Framework 2.0; Blink needs 4.6.1 or later.

Frameworks.NET Framework 2.0+ / 4.0+, .NET Core, and .NET 5 through .NET 10

ArchitectureWindows x86 and x64 — main NuGet packages are AnyCPU; *.x64 variants ship x64-only binaries

§TRIAL VS COMMUNITY EDITION

Two free paths — pick the right one.

This page is the trial for the commercial library — the same binaries we ship to paying customers, with a watermark stamped on every generated PDF page. The Community Edition is a different free product: separate NuGet, no watermark, free for production use, but capped at five pages per PDF and missing some advanced features.

?FAQ

Downloads, answered.

Yes. The trial binaries are byte-for-byte the same as the licensed build — every feature, every engine, no page cap. The only difference is a watermark stamped on each generated PDF page. Activating a license at runtime removes the watermark; no re-download required.
On modern .NET (Core, .NET 5–10, .NET Framework 4.6.1+) install Select.Pdf.NetCore. On older .NET Framework (2.0 through 4.5) install Select.Pdf instead. Both bundle WebKit and WebKit Restricted out of the box. Blink is available only for the .NetCore family (Select.Pdf.NetCore.Blink); Chromium has a variant for each main package — Select.Pdf.NetCore.Chromium.Windows for modern .NET, Select.Pdf.Chromium.Windows for .NET Framework.
NuGet, unless your build environment can't reach the public feed. NuGet handles transitive dependencies and lets you upgrade with a one-line change. The zip archives are there for offline installs, locked-down corporate networks and reference downloads.
The trial on this page is the full commercial library with every feature available and a watermark on every PDF page. The Community Edition is a separate free product — no watermark, no time limit, free for production — but capped at five pages per PDF and missing some advanced features such as loading existing PDFs, PDF to Text and form filling.
The in-process .NET library is Windows-only. For Linux, macOS or container deployments use the Online REST API — same rendering engines, exposed over HTTPS, callable from any language and any OS.
The watermark is a single line of evaluation text on every generated PDF page. It is removed at runtime by setting the library's LicenseKey property to the key issued when you purchase a license — no re-download or re-install required. Library pricing starts at $499; see pricing.
The current release is SelectPdf Library for .NET v26.3 — 2026 Vol 3. Release notes ship with the offline assemblies zip; the latest is always linked above. The NuGet packages are kept in lock-step with the zip release.
