Install, activate, move Kifuli to a new computer, or get your Kifuli page link again.
Activate
- Install Kifuli on the computer.
- On that computer, open your Kifuli page (the link in your purchase email) and click Activate Kifuli on this computer.
- Or open Kifuli > Settings > Licence, paste the key and click Activate.
Activation needs the internet for a few seconds. One licence works on up to 3 computers at a time.
New computer?
Open your Kifuli page, remove the old computer under “Your computers”, then activate the new one. A computer without internet can be activated with a code: Kifuli > Settings > Licence > “Activate a computer that has no internet”.
Lost your Kifuli page?
Enter the email you used when buying and we send a fresh link with your downloads and key.
Paid but no email?
Your Kifuli page opens on screen as soon as Paystack confirms the payment, and the link is emailed too. Nothing in your inbox? Check spam, then use “Lost your Kifuli page?”. Charged twice? Send both M-Pesa or card references through the contact form and we refund the extra payment.
Word, Excel and PowerPoint files
Kifuli converts office files with its built-in engine. For the most faithful results, it uses Microsoft Office (Windows) or the free LibreOffice (Windows, Mac and Linux) when they are installed. See Settings, Conversion engines.

Common questions
How do I get Kifuli?
Buy it on this website. Right after you pay, your Kifuli page opens with the downloads for Windows, Mac and Linux, your licence key and a one-click Activate button. We email you the link too.
What does it cost?
KES 1,200 once, about US$9. That is a personal licence for up to 3 of your computers, every tool, and free updates. There is no subscription.
How do I pay?
Through Paystack, with M-Pesa or a Visa or Mastercard card. Cards from outside Kenya work too: you pay KES 1,200 and your bank converts it (about US$9).
Does Kifuli need the internet?
Only to buy, download and activate it. Converting works offline. When you are online, Kifuli quietly confirms your licence every few days; if a computer stays offline for months, connect it once. Your files are never sent anywhere.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Kifuli reads and converts files on your own computer. Activation sends only your licence ID and an anonymous code for the computer, never your documents.
Which computers does it run on?
Windows 10 and 11, macOS 12 or later on Apple silicon and Intel Macs, and 64-bit Linux (.deb, .rpm and AppImage).
Can I move Kifuli to a new computer?
Yes. Your licence works on 3 computers at a time. Remove the old computer on your Kifuli page, then activate the new one.
Can I share my key?
No. A key works on up to 3 of your own computers and each activation is checked. Need it on more computers, or for an office? Buy one licence per three computers, or contact us.
Is there a free trial?
No. Kifuli is for buyers only. Every tool page has an animated manual that shows the tool at work, screen by screen, as it looks in Kifuli. The install guide shows every step, and you can ask us anything before you buy.
Can I get a refund?
Kifuli is a digital product delivered instantly, so all sales are final. If you were charged twice or did not receive your licence, contact us and we fix it.
I lost my Kifuli page or key. What now?
Enter your email on the Help page and we send a fresh link to your Kifuli page, with your downloads and key.
Do I need Microsoft Office?
No. Kifuli has its own conversion engine. If Microsoft Office or the free LibreOffice is installed, Kifuli uses it for the most faithful Word, Excel and PowerPoint conversions.
