PDF Tools

Convert, merge, compress, and extract PDF files entirely in your browser

Browser-Based PDF Processing with Complete Privacy

Working with PDF files is a daily necessity for professionals across every industry. Whether you need to merge contracts, compress reports for email, extract specific pages from a lengthy document, or convert a PDF to images for a presentation, having reliable tools available instantly matters. Our free online PDF tools handle all of these tasks directly in your browser, with no software to install, no accounts to create, and no files ever uploaded to a remote server.

Privacy is the cornerstone of our PDF tools. Unlike traditional online PDF services that require you to upload sensitive documents to third-party servers, every tool in this collection uses client-side JavaScript to process your files locally on your device. Your documents never leave your computer. This makes our tools suitable for handling confidential business contracts, financial statements, legal documents, and personal records without any privacy concerns.

Our PDF merger lets you combine multiple PDF files into a single document with drag-and-drop reordering, making it easy to assemble reports or organize scanned pages. The PDF page extractor does the opposite, allowing you to select specific page ranges or individual pages to pull out of a larger document and save as a new, smaller PDF. Both tools work with files up to 50MB in size and produce results in seconds.

Need to reduce file size before sending a document by email? The PDF compressor optimizes your files by stripping unused metadata and restructuring internal data, often reducing file sizes by 30-70% with no visible quality loss. For format conversion, our PDF to image converter renders each page as a high-resolution PNG or JPG, while the PDF to text extractor pulls all readable text content for easy copying and reuse.

Going the other direction, the image to PDF converter takes your JPG, PNG, or WebP images and assembles them into a properly formatted PDF document with configurable paper sizes and page ordering. All of these tools are built on modern web technologies including the PDF.js rendering engine and the pdf-lib generation library, ensuring broad compatibility across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on both desktop and mobile devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum file size I can process?

Our PDF tools support files up to 50MB in size. Because all processing happens directly in your browser using your device's memory and CPU, the practical limit depends on your device's available RAM. Most modern computers and tablets handle 50MB PDFs without any issues. For very large or graphics-heavy documents, we recommend closing other browser tabs to free up memory.

Are my PDF files uploaded to your servers?

No. Every PDF tool on this site runs entirely client-side in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server, and no document data is transmitted over the internet. This architecture ensures complete privacy for sensitive documents including contracts, financial records, and personal files. Once you close or refresh the page, all file data is cleared from browser memory.

Which browsers are supported?

Our PDF tools work in all modern browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge on both desktop and mobile devices. We recommend using the latest version of your browser for the best performance and compatibility. The tools rely on standard Web APIs such as the File API and Canvas API, which are widely supported across all current browsers.

What file formats are supported for conversion?

You can convert PDFs to plain text (.txt) or high-quality images (PNG and JPG) with adjustable resolution settings. For creating PDFs, we support JPG, PNG, and WebP image formats as input. The merge and extract tools work with standard PDF files. All output files are generated instantly in your browser and downloaded directly to your device.

Does compression affect PDF quality?

Our PDF compressor focuses on removing unused metadata, duplicate resources, and redundant internal structures rather than degrading visual content. In most cases, the compressed output looks identical to the original while being 30-70% smaller in file size. Text, vector graphics, and embedded fonts remain fully intact. For PDFs with high-resolution images, the compression ratio is typically higher with no perceptible quality loss.
