Take a rubber mallet or a light hammer and tap the perimeter of the pulley, going around the edge as you tap. Sometiems you can hit on it a few times in one spot, and a few times directly across from that spot. Repeat a few times but don't smash the thing unnecessarily.

Eventually you should be able to just pull it off. You'll see it start to move around a little bit, and that's the high sign. Sometimes you have to wiggle it back and forth a little bit as it goes, though.

I've never, ever, needed a pulley puller to take off the crankshaft pulley. It's virtually impossible for it to get badly stuck on the crankshaft. You can smear a little anti-seize on the crank when you slide it back on, so next time you know the same thing won't happen.
