Everything You Need to Work with PDF Files — For Free

PDFs are everywhere. Your bank statement arrives as a PDF. The job application form is a PDF. Your child's school report card, your electricity bill, your signed lease agreement — all PDFs. They're the world's most trusted document format, but working with them has always required expensive software. Until now.

Our collection of 38 free online PDF tools covers every common PDF task you'll ever face — from combining files before a deadline to shrinking an oversized attachment so it fits in an email. No software to install. No account to create. No waiting. Everything works directly in your browser, on any device, completely free.

Merge PDFs Into a Single Document

Imagine you've scanned a three-page contract on a home scanner that saves each page as a separate file. You need one clean PDF to send to a client. Our Merge PDF tool solves this in seconds. Drag in as many files as you like, drag to rearrange the order, and click merge. That's it. The same tool works for combining chapters of a report, assembling a project portfolio, or bundling multiple invoices for an accountant.

Split and Extract Exactly the Pages You Need

On the other side of the coin — what if a colleague sends you a 90-page company handbook and you only need pages 12 to 18? Our Split PDF tool lets you extract any page range, split every page into its own file, or divide by fixed intervals. You get a neat, ready-to-share result without touching the original document. Useful for teachers extracting specific exercises, lawyers pulling individual clauses, or anyone dealing with large scanned archives.

Compress PDFs — Smaller Files, Same Quality

Most email clients reject attachments above 10–25 MB. Government portals and job application systems often cap uploads at 5 MB. Our PDF Compressor intelligently removes embedded duplicates, downsizes embedded images to screen-appropriate resolution, and strips internal metadata that bloats file size — all without making your PDF look bad. Real estate agents, architects, and HR teams use this constantly for sending high-quality property brochures, floor plans, and CVs that actually go through.

Convert PDFs to and From Any Format

Sometimes a PDF just needs to become something else. Need to post a document page as an image? PDF to JPG converts every page to a crisp image file. Got scanned photos you want to bundle into one document? JPG to PDF takes care of that. Working with a contract you need to edit in Word? PDF to Word exports the text into an editable format. We also support Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, EPUB, MOBI, and TIFF — covering practically every conversion scenario.

Sign, Protect and Manage Your Documents

Need to add your signature to a PDF contract without printing it? Our Sign PDF tool lets you draw, type, or upload a signature image and place it anywhere on the document. For sensitive files, the Protect PDF tool adds password encryption. If you receive a locked file someone forgot to unlock, the Unlock PDF tool removes the password (you'll need the current password to do so, of course). Need a unique document ID or page numbers for a formal report? Add Page Numbers handles that with customisable position, style, and starting number.

Browser-Based Means Truly Private

The biggest concern people have with online PDF tools is privacy — and rightfully so. Legal documents, medical records, financial reports, and personal photos all end up in PDFs. Our tools are built so that your files never leave your device. Processing happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly technology. We have no server to receive your data, no storage, and no logs of what you process. Close the tab and it's gone.

Who Uses These Tools?

Students compress thesis documents before submitting through university portals. Freelancers merge invoices and contracts for clients. Teachers split textbook PDFs into per-chapter handouts. HR managers combine application documents for interview panels. Small business owners sign agreements on their phone while travelling. Architects send compressed floor plans over email. If you work with documents — these tools are for you.
