All 90 free PDF tools

Every tool below does the work inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is kept, and no account is needed.

Not sure which one you need?

Four situations that send most people here.

Several PDFs, one file

Use Merge PDF to combine them, then Split PDF if the result is still unwieldy. If the order matters, arrange the files before you merge rather than fixing it afterwards.

"The file is too large to upload"

Compress PDF reduces the whole document. Optimise for web goes further when the file is headed for a site rather than a printer.

You need the words, not the layout

PDF to text strips the formatting and gives you clean copy. PDF to Word keeps headings, tables and images in an editable document.

The page is a scan

If you cannot select the text, it is an image. Run OCR first; it adds a searchable text layer. Then extract, convert or search the result as usual.

Every tool, grouped by job

Start with the task in front of you rather than the file format.
