PDF Tools

Merge, split, rotate PDFs and combine images into a PDF entirely in your browser — nothing is ever uploaded to a server.

4 tools · all free, all run in your browser

PDF tools handle the document assembly and reshaping jobs that come up constantly with paperwork: combining several PDFs into one, pulling specific pages out of a longer document, turning a batch of scanned photos into a single file, or fixing a page that was scanned sideways. Every one of these runs using a JavaScript PDF library working entirely in your browser, so the document is decoded, edited and rebuilt on your own device and is never uploaded to a server — which matters more here than almost anywhere else on the site, since PDFs often carry sensitive contracts, forms or scanned identity documents.

Why editing a PDF in the browser is genuinely private

A PDF file is a structured document format, not a flat image, which is exactly what makes it possible to rearrange, merge and extract pages without re-rendering the whole document from scratch. The tools here read that structure directly, copy the parts you asked for into a new document, and write the result back out — all using code that runs on the page you are looking at rather than a server somewhere else. For documents like bank statements, signed contracts or ID scans, never leaving your device is a genuine, not just marketed, privacy advantage over uploading to a random online converter.

What these tools can't do

None of the tools here can open a password-protected or encrypted PDF; that needs to be unlocked in a PDF reader first. They also work with the document's existing pages rather than reflowing or re-typesetting text, so editing the actual words inside a PDF, or converting a PDF's text content back into an editable Word document, is a different kind of tool than what is offered here. What they do well is assembly and structure: combining, extracting, reordering and rotating pages exactly as they already exist.

PDF Tools — questions

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?
No. Every PDF tool processes the file locally in your browser. There is no server-side upload step and no file size limit imposed by an upload connection, only the 40 MB per-file limit these tools enforce for browser memory reasons.
Can I edit the text inside a PDF?
Not with these tools. They rearrange, merge, extract and rotate existing pages rather than reflowing or editing the text and layout inside them.
Will a merged or split PDF still have selectable text?
Yes. Pages are copied with their underlying content intact, so text that was selectable and searchable in the source file stays that way in the result.
Why can't I open a password-protected PDF here?
Encrypted PDFs need to be unlocked with the correct password in a PDF reader first. These tools are built for standard, unencrypted PDF files.
