Free Online PDF Tools
These PDF tools cover the jobs people search for most: joining files, splitting a document, fixing page order, shrinking a file that's too big to email, and turning pages into images. Everything runs in your browser, so your documents are never uploaded. There's no sign-up and no watermark.
Not sure where to start? Match your job to a group below. Most tasks take one tool, and the bigger ones are a short chain of two or three.

Join several PDFs, or turn photos and scans into a single multi-page document.

Frequently asked questions
Are these PDF tools really free?
Yes. There's no fee, no sign-up, and no watermark added to your file.
Are my PDFs uploaded anywhere?
No. Each tool works inside your browser, on your own device, so the file isn't sent to a server. You can confirm it by watching the Network tab in your browser's developer tools while you use a tool.
Can I use more than one tool on the same file?
Yes. Download the result of one tool and add it to the next. A common order is to fix the orientation, merge the files, and then compress the result.
Do the tools work on a phone?
Yes, in a modern mobile browser. Very long documents can be slow on an older phone, so a laptop is the better choice for those.
Can I remove a password from a PDF?
Not a real open password. The unlock tool only removes limits on printing, copying, and editing from files that already open without a password.
