PDF Tools
Merge, split, rotate and convert PDFs — in your browser, never uploaded.
The PDF jobs that normally send people to a sketchy free upload site. Merge quotes into one document, split a scanned batch, pull out the pages you need, turn pages into images or a folder of images into a PDF. Every tool runs inside your own browser, so nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored on a server, and closing the tab clears it.

Every PDF tool
Each job has its own page with the tool on it — free, no account, and the file never leaves your browser.
- PDF to WordConvert a PDF to an editable Word .docx free. Keeps fonts, sizes, colours, tables and images, and places a form exactly where the PDF draws it.
- Word to PDFConvert a Word .docx to PDF free in your browser. Keeps headings, weight, colour, tables, lists and images, at the page size the document was written for.
- Merge PDFsCombine several PDFs into one file free, in the order you arrange them. Runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and there is no page or file limit.
- Split PDFSplit a PDF into separate files free: one file per page, fixed-size chunks, or cuts at the pages you choose. Downloads as a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded.
- PDF to JPG or PNGConvert PDF pages to JPG or PNG images free. Render every page or just the ones you pick, at the resolution you choose. Nothing is uploaded.
- Images to PDFTurn JPG and PNG images into one PDF free, one image per page, in the order you arrange them. Runs in your browser with no upload and no watermark.
- PDF to ExcelExtract tables from a PDF into an editable Excel .xlsx free, keeping column widths, fills and fonts, with every page in one sheet. Nothing is uploaded.
- Excel to PDFConvert an Excel .xlsx to PDF free, every sheet on its own landscape page, keeping column widths, fills, fonts and weights. No upload, no sign-up.

How it works
The things worth knowing before you sign up.
How do I merge PDF files?
Add the files, put them in the order you want, and merge. Page thumbnails let you see what you are combining rather than trusting file names.
How do I split a PDF or delete pages?
Pick pages from the thumbnail view to split out, extract, delete or reorder. You can also rotate individual pages or the whole document.
Can I convert a PDF to an image, or images to PDF?
Both. Convert PDF pages to JPG or PNG, and turn images back into a single PDF. Where a PDF has a text layer, you can pull the text out as well.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No. PDF Tools runs entirely in your browser — the files never leave your device. That matters for contracts, statements and anything else you would not email to a stranger.
Can I edit the text inside a PDF?
Yes. The Edit PDF tool changes text on the page and fills in form fields, then downloads the result. It works on the text layer a PDF already has — a scanned photograph of a page has no text to edit, only an image.
Can I sign a document without printing it?
Yes. Draw a signature with the mouse or trackpad, or upload an image of one, then place it where it belongs and download the signed file. Nothing is uploaded, so a contract never leaves your machine.
What is the largest file I can work with?
Around 200 MB, and less on an older phone. Everything runs in your browser using your own memory, so a very large scanned document may be slow or run out of room. Splitting it first usually solves it.
Can I password-protect a PDF here?
No, and deliberately so. The library available in the browser accepts a password and then silently ignores it — the file would open with no password at all. Handing you a file you believe is protected when it is not is worse than not offering it.
Guides for PDF Tools
Worked examples and the details worth knowing, written against this tool.
- Electronic vs digital signature: what a signed PDF actually provesMost PDFs only need an electronic signature — a sign that you agreed. A digital signature is a different thing: a certificate that proves who signed and that the file has not been altered since.
- Scanned PDF vs searchable PDF: how to tell, and how to make a scan searchableIf you cannot select or search the words in a PDF, it is probably a picture of a page. OCR reads the picture and adds an invisible text layer on top, so the page looks the same but can be searched and copied.
- How to fill in a PDF form, whether it has fields or notA fillable PDF has real fields you click and type into. A flat PDF is only a picture of a form, so you place text on top of it. The steps are different, so find out which one you have first.
- PDF open password vs permissions password: what each doesAn open password stops a PDF from opening without the password. A permissions password controls actions such as printing or editing in readers that honor those limits. They solve different problems.
