Free PDF Tools for Every Task
Merge, compress, split, convert, and edit PDFs — all in your browser.
Portable Document Format files run modern offices, classrooms, and government portals — and sooner or later every PDF needs surgery. A resume bundle must be merged into one file, a 40MB scan must be compressed under a portal limit, or a locked report must become an editable Word document, or a contract needs password protection. These free tools cover the full lifecycle without accounts, installs, or watermarks.
Every tool on this page processes your document 100% in your browser. Your contracts, resumes, ID scans, and financial statements never leave your device — there is nothing uploaded, nothing stored, and nothing to delete when you close the tab. That makes browser-based PDF tools the safest option for sensitive paperwork that you would never email to a stranger, let alone upload to a random server.
Start with the job at hand: joining files, shrinking an oversized attachment for Gmail 25MB limits, extracting pages, or converting between PDF, Word, and JPG. Each tool page includes step-by-step instructions, honest quality guidance, and answers to the questions people actually ask — like what to do when a portal rejects your file twice.
Merge & Split
Combine invoices, chapters, and certificates with the PDF merger, or extract pages with Split PDF.
Compress & Optimize
Shrink scans and reports to exact targets like 100KB or 500KB for email and portals.
Convert Both Ways
Turn PDFs into editable Word files or JPG images, and build PDFs from photos with JPG to PDF.
Edit & Organize
Annotate and adjust documents with the free PDF editor, then export print-ready PNG pages when needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these PDF tools really free?
Yes — all eight PDF tools are 100% free with no signup, no watermarks, and no daily limits. The site is supported by clearly labeled display ads.
Is it safe to process contracts and ID scans here?
Yes. Every PDF tool runs entirely in your browser, so sensitive documents never leave your device and are never uploaded to any server.
Which tool shrinks a PDF for email attachments?
Use Compress PDF and pick a target like 500KB or 1MB. Most email providers cap attachments at 10–25MB, and portals often demand far less.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to Word?
Scanned pages are images, not text, so convert cleanly only after OCR. Native digitally-created PDFs convert to editable Word with formatting largely intact.
