Every tool runs inside your browser. When you pick a file, it is read into your device’s memory, edited there, and saved back to your device. It is not sent to our servers, so there is no upload step to wait for and no copy left behind.
Online converters that use a server have to upload your file, wait in line, process it and send it back. Here the work starts the moment you click, so speed depends on your own device instead of your internet connection.
Open the site in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari and start working. There is no desktop software, no extension and no account to create, which makes it practical on shared or locked-down computers.
Reorder files by drag and drop, pick individual pages from thumbnails, preview a watermark before applying it, choose the DPI of exported images, and name the output file. The advanced options are there when you need them.
Besides merging, splitting and rotating, you can edit text, highlight, whiteout and draw on a PDF, convert a PDF to an editable Word document, turn pages into images, or lay out several copies of a photo on one sheet ready to print.
PDF to Word and Edit PDF handle right-to-left scripts such as Arabic, Hebrew and Urdu and scripts such as Tamil, Hindi and Chinese. OCR for scanned files supports about forty languages. Results still depend on how the original PDF was made, and the limits are explained below.
The layout adapts to small screens and touch input. Everything works on a phone, though very large PDFs are easier to handle on a computer because phones have less memory available to the browser.
A PDF is not a word-processing file, so no converter is perfect. Each tool page and this help center say plainly what is rebuilt, what is approximated and what is not supported, so you can choose the right option before you start.
The tools are free. There are no watermarks added by us, no page limits that we impose, and no sign-up wall. The site is supported by voluntary donations and advertising, never by locking features.
All 11 tools in one list. Open any card to use the tool, or scroll down for full details, guides and limits.
Start from what you want to achieve. Each row points to the tool that does it best, with a note on what to expect.

Each tool is built for real document work. Here is what you can do with each one, who it suits, and what to keep in mind.
Combine several PDFs into one document.
Add as many PDF files as you need, arrange them in the exact order you want, and choose which pages of each file to include. Every file shows its page count and size, and you can open any file to see thumbnails of its pages.
Joining invoices into one monthly statement, combining scanned chapters, or building a single application pack from separate documents.
Password-protected files may fail to open. Very large combined files depend on your device’s available memory.
Extract, delete or cut a PDF into parts.
Four modes cover the common jobs: extract chosen pages into one new PDF, delete unwanted pages, split by custom ranges so every range becomes its own file, or split every N pages. A preview list shows exactly which files will be created before you start.
Pulling one chapter out of a long report, removing a blank or confidential page, or sending each page of a scanned batch to a different person.
Splitting keeps the original page content as it is. It does not shrink the file size of each part below what its pages require.
Fix sideways or upside-down pages.
See every page as a thumbnail and rotate it left or right individually, or rotate groups of pages at once. You can also mark pages for removal in the same step, so one pass fixes a messy scan.
Scans where a few pages came out sideways, or documents where landscape tables are mixed with portrait text.
Rotation changes how the page is displayed. It does not re-render or alter the content of the page.
Optimize a PDF to reduce its size where possible.
The tool re-saves your PDF with an optimized internal structure. Pages keep their original look because images are not recompressed, which also means the saving depends on how the file was built.
Files with extra internal overhead, such as documents saved many times or assembled from many parts, when you need a smaller attachment.
PDFs full of large photos or scans may shrink very little. If you need a much smaller file and can accept that text becomes part of an image, export the pages with PDF to JPG at a lower quality and rebuild the PDF with JPG to PDF.
Stamp text or a logo on your pages.
Add a text or image watermark with a live preview of the first page. Control size, opacity, rotation and position, repeat the mark across the page as a tile, and apply it to all pages or only the ones you choose.
Marking drafts as DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL, adding a company logo to proposals, or discouraging reuse of shared documents.
The watermark is drawn on top of the page. Built-in PDF fonts support Latin characters, so use the image option for other scripts.
Number your pages in the style you need.
Choose where the number goes, how it looks and which pages receive it. A live preview on the first page shows the final placement before you apply anything.
Reports, legal bundles, theses and manuals where the front matter needs roman numerals and the body starts again at 1.
Numbers are added as text on the page and cannot be edited later except by repeating the process on the original file.
Edit text, annotate and add images.
Open a PDF in an editor that runs in your browser. Click a line of existing text to change it, or add new text anywhere. Highlight, cover areas with whiteout, draw shapes and lines, sketch freehand, and insert images such as a signature. Select, move, resize, undo and redo any change.
Fixing a typo or date, adding a note or signature, highlighting key lines for review, or covering personal details before sharing.
Editing replaces one line at a time and cannot reflow a whole paragraph. Replacement text uses a standard font, so it may look slightly different from the original. Covered text stays inside the file unless you use Secure flatten, which makes the saved PDF image-only.
Repeat one image or PDF page on a printable sheet.
Upload one image, or a PDF with a single page, and place it on a page as many times as you need. Choose copies per sheet, a custom grid of rows and columns, or a fixed photo size such as a passport photo, and let the tool fit as many as the page allows. A live preview shows the sheet before you save it.
Printing passport or ID photo sheets, labels, stickers, stamps or several copies of a document page on a single piece of paper.
Only a PDF with exactly one page is accepted; use Split PDF to extract a page first. A PDF page is drawn as a picture, so very small images enlarged on the sheet can look blurry, and the tool shows the effective print resolution. PNG and JPG save the first sheet only. Print at Actual size or 100% so the copies keep their exact size.
Turn photos and scans into a PDF.
Combine JPG, PNG, WebP and other images into one PDF. Reorder them, rotate any image, and choose the page size, orientation, margin and image quality that suit the document.
Turning phone photos of receipts, forms or ID documents into one tidy PDF that can be emailed or uploaded to a portal.
Very large photos (12 megapixels and above) can be slow on older phones. Use a lower quality preset to keep the PDF small.
Save PDF pages as images.
Render the pages you select into JPG, PNG or WebP images at a resolution you choose. One page downloads as a single image, and several pages are delivered together in a ZIP file.
Sharing a page on social media, placing a PDF page inside a presentation, or creating thumbnails and previews.
To protect your browser from running out of memory, each page is capped at about 25 megapixels, so extremely large pages are scaled down slightly.
Convert a PDF to an editable Word document.
Create a .docx file you can open in Microsoft Word. Three modes cover different PDFs: Editable text for PDFs with selectable text, Scanned PDF (OCR) for scans, and Page images when the exact look matters more than editing.
Reusing the text of a report or letter, extracting text from a scanned document, or moving a PDF table into Word to continue working on it.
A PDF stores where each line is drawn, not the paragraphs, so the Word file approximates the original. Tables without borders, merged cells, multi-column layouts, text colors and drawings are not recreated. PDFs that use older font encodings (for example some Tamil fonts) store text as Latin letters, so use OCR or Page images for those.
Understanding what happens to your file helps you trust the result and explains the few limits you may notice.
When you select or drop a file, your browser gives the page access to that single file. It is read into memory on your device. It is not sent to our server.
Open-source JavaScript libraries read the structure of the PDF, copy, rotate or draw on pages, extract text, lay out sheets, and build a new document. Page previews are drawn by a PDF rendering engine in the same tab.
The finished file is created as a temporary object in your browser and handed to you as a normal download. Closing the tab discards it.

Short, practical walkthroughs for the jobs people do most often, with tips learned from common mistakes.
Use this when several documents need to become one file, for example monthly invoices that must be sent together.
Use this to take a part of a long document, or to break it into smaller files.
Use this when a scan came out sideways or only a few pages need turning.
Use this when a PDF is slightly too large for an email attachment or an upload form.
Use this to label drafts, brand a document, or discourage unauthorized copying.
Use this for reports, bundles and any document that has to be referred to by page.
Use this to correct a detail, add a note, highlight important lines or cover personal information.
Use this for passport photos, labels, stickers, or any time you want the same picture repeated on one sheet of paper.
Use this to turn photos and scans into a single document.
Use this when you need a page as a picture rather than a document.
Use this when you want to keep working on a PDF’s content in Microsoft Word.
Everyday examples of how different people use the same set of tools.
Combine lecture notes, remove cover pages from downloaded papers, number a thesis, highlight key passages, and turn photographed handwritten pages into a single PDF for submission.
Merge quotations and terms into one proposal, add your logo as a watermark, correct a date or amount with the editor, and send a single tidy file rather than a folder of attachments.
Join the month’s invoices, add page numbers to a statement, move a bordered table into Word, and extract just the pages a client needs without exposing the rest of the file.
Number bundles consistently, mark documents as CONFIDENTIAL or DRAFT, cover personal details before sharing, and keep sensitive files on your own device while you work on them.
Export PDF pages as high-resolution PNG or JPG, lay out passport photos, labels or stickers on a printable sheet, and assemble image sets into a presentation-ready PDF.
Split a scanned stack into one file per student, fix sideways scans in seconds, turn a scanned worksheet into editable Word text, and prepare handouts for printing.
Documents often contain contracts, IDs and financial details. Here is how the tools treat them.
You may still see requests for page assets, analytics or advertising, and for OCR language data when you use OCR for the first time. These do not contain your document.

No browser tool can do everything. Knowing the limits up front saves time and helps you pick the right option.
A fair comparison of three common ways to work with PDFs, so you can pick the right one for the job.
| Feature | This site (in your browser) | Typical upload-based website | Desktop PDF software |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where files are processed | On your device | On the website’s servers | On your device |
| Upload and download time | None for processing | Depends on file size and connection | None |
| Installation | None | None | Required |
| Account needed | No | Often for larger files | Often a license |
| Works on a locked-down computer | Yes, in a browser | Yes, in a browser | Usually not |
| Large-file limits | Your device’s memory | Set by the provider | Your device’s memory |
| Editing text inside a PDF | Line by line, with a standard replacement font | Varies by provider | Most complete, including paragraph reflow |
| Cost | Free | Free tier with limits, paid plans | Often paid |
Browser tools are ideal for quick, private jobs. If you regularly rewrite whole paragraphs inside PDFs, fill in complex forms or manage thousands of files, dedicated desktop software is the better fit.
Most issues come from very large files, protected files, older font encodings, print scaling or limited device memory. These fixes solve the majority.
No. Nothing is uploaded for processing. Your files are opened and edited inside your own browser, and the finished file is created on your device. We do not receive, view or keep copies of your documents.
Open your browser’s developer tools (press F12), go to the Network tab, and then run any tool. You will see that no request carries your file to a server. The only extra download you may see is OCR language data the first time you use that feature.
PDF is supported by every PDF tool. Images in JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF can be turned into a PDF or placed on a sheet, and PDF pages can be saved as JPG, PNG or WebP. PDF to Word creates .docx files. Logos for watermarks can be PNG or JPG.
Yes. The tools are free to use, with no sign-up and no limits set by us. The site is supported by advertising and optional donations.
We do not set one. The practical limit is your device’s memory. Desktop computers usually handle PDFs of several hundred pages, while phones are more comfortable with smaller files. Exporting images from PDF is capped at around 25 megapixels per page to avoid crashes.
Yes. The site is responsive and designed for touch. For very large files, a computer will be faster and more reliable.
No. Merge, split, rotate, watermark and page-number tools copy your original pages into the new file without re-rendering them, so text stays selectable and images keep their original quality.
Because the pages are copied, not turned into pictures. The tools that deliberately turn pages into images are PDF to JPG, Page images mode in PDF to Word, Image Sheet Maker, and Secure flatten in Edit PDF.
Yes. In the Merge tool, type a range such as 1-3, 5 for a file, or open the file and click the thumbnails of the pages you want.
Yes. Drag files by their handle, use the up and down arrows, or sort them by name.
Files that need a password to open are not supported. Remove the password in the program that created the file, then try again.
Open Image Sheet Maker, upload the image, choose Copies per sheet, pick a number such as 4 or 8, keep the page on A4, and save the PDF. Print it at Actual size or 100%.
Yes. Choose Fixed photo size, pick a preset such as 35 × 45 mm or 2 × 2 in, and the tool fits as many photos as the page allows. Use a photo that is already cropped to the right proportions, and check the requirements of the office that will receive it.
Yes, but only a PDF with a single page. The page is drawn as a sharp picture and repeated on the sheet. For a longer PDF, use Split PDF to extract the page you need first.
Yes, with Edit PDF. Click a line, type the new text, and the original is covered and replaced. It works one line at a time and uses a standard replacement font, so it suits corrections such as dates, names and typos rather than rewriting whole pages.
Not by default. Covering hides the original but it stays inside the file. To remove it permanently, turn on Secure flatten when saving. The saved PDF then consists of page images, so its text can no longer be selected.
Not always. PDF to Word rebuilds headings, paragraphs, bullets, bordered tables and images, but tables without borders, merged cells, multi-column layouts and text colors are not recreated. Page images mode keeps the exact look but the text is not editable.
Yes. Choose Scanned PDF (OCR) in PDF to Word and pick the language of the text. Accuracy depends on scan quality, and the first use of a language downloads its language data.
Yes, with some conditions. Text-based PDFs in Unicode fonts convert as text, right-to-left scripts keep their direction, and OCR supports about forty languages. PDFs that use older font encodings need OCR or Page images, because the real text is not stored in the file.
Many older documents use fonts that store Tamil as Latin letters and only look correct in that font. The letters in the file are not Tamil characters, so a converter cannot recover them. Use OCR with Tamil selected, or keep the exact look with Page images.
Text watermarks use the standard PDF fonts, which cover Latin characters. For other scripts, make the text as a PNG image and use the image watermark option.
It depends on the file. The tool optimizes the PDF structure and does not recompress images, so files with extra internal overhead shrink the most while photo-heavy files may change very little.
DPI means dots per inch and controls how detailed the exported image is. 72–100 DPI is enough for small previews, 150 DPI suits screens and sharing, and 300 DPI suits printing.
Use PNG for pages with sharp text and line art because it is lossless. Use JPG or WebP for pages full of photographs, where smaller files matter more than perfect edges.
No. The files you choose are processed on your device, but the site needs an internet connection to load the tools and the libraries they use. OCR also downloads language data the first time you use a language.
Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari. Older browsers may not support all the features the tools rely on.
