# Brand Naming Strategy for SaaS-PDF

This document provides a practical naming framework and curated name candidates for the project.

## 1) Quick understanding of product positioning

Current platform scope includes:
- Core PDF workflows (convert, compress, merge, split, rotate, watermark, protect/unlock)
- Image and video utilities
- Text and productivity helpers
- Accounts + file history

This means the brand should not be limited to one tiny action (like only compression), but still signal trust and speed for document workflows.

## 2) Naming goals

A good name for this product should be:
1. Short (1-3 syllables preferred)
2. Easy to pronounce in Arabic + English
3. Domain-friendly (clean spelling, low confusion)
4. Flexible for expansion beyond PDF only
5. Trust-oriented (documents/security/productivity)

## 3) Naming patterns that fit this product

### Pattern A: PDF + Action
Examples style: "PDF...", "...PDF"
- Pros: Immediate SEO/user clarity
- Cons: Can limit future perception if product expands heavily beyond PDF

### Pattern B: Workspace / Flow / Docs
Examples style: "Doc...", "Flow...", "...Desk"
- Pros: Better long-term brand expansion
- Cons: Needs stronger landing-page messaging for instant context

### Pattern C: Hybrid (brandable + descriptor)
Examples style: "BrandName PDF Tools"
- Pros: Balances branding with clarity
- Cons: Slightly longer in header/SEO titles
