How to use a PDF tool
- Choose a tool from the grid, for example Merge PDF.
- Click to choose your file or files, or drag them in.
- Set the options shown for that tool (page ranges, quality, text and so on).
- Run it and download the new file. Your original file is not changed.
Common tasks, step by step
- Make a PDF smaller for email: open Compress PDF, add the file, and use Recommended mode, which shrinks the pictures inside and keeps your text selectable. Need a fixed limit such as 200 KB? Type it in Target size. Strong mode turns pages into pictures for the smallest file, so the text can no longer be selected.
- Combine scans into one document: use Image to PDF for pictures, or Merge PDF for existing PDFs, and reorder with the arrows.
- Remove one page: use Rotate / Delete / Reorder, mark the page, and save.
- Sign a form: use Edit PDF, add text for the details, and place a picture of your signature.
Frequently asked questions
How do I merge PDF files for free?
Open Merge PDF, add your files, put them in the order you want with the arrows, and download the combined PDF.
How do I convert JPG to PDF?
Open Image to PDF, add your pictures, reorder them, and click Create PDF.
Can I convert PDF to Word?
Yes, with PDF to Word. It keeps the text and paragraphs and gives you an editable .docx file. Pictures and the exact page layout are not kept, and a scanned PDF (a picture of a page) has no text to read. For a layout-perfect result you would need desktop software.
How do I sign a PDF?
Open Edit PDF, choose the image tool and place a picture of your signature on the page, then save the file.
Are my PDF files uploaded?
No. Every tool runs in your browser, and your files are not sent to a server. That makes it suitable for private documents, though you should still avoid shared computers for sensitive files.
Is there a page or size limit?
The site sets no limit. Large files depend on your device's memory, so very big PDFs may take longer or be easier to handle in parts.
Can I edit existing text in a PDF?
You can cover existing text with a whiteout box and type new text on top. Changing the original text in place is not supported.
Why does PDF to Text or PDF to Excel return nothing?
These tools read the text stored in the file. A scanned PDF is only a picture of a page, so it has no text to extract and would need OCR software.
Does compressing reduce quality?
Recommended mode shrinks only the photos and scans inside the PDF and keeps your text sharp and selectable. Strong mode turns pages into JPEG images, which can make scans even smaller but makes the text unselectable. Choose a compression level, or type a target size in KB, to balance size and sharpness.
Is it free, and is there a watermark?
It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark of its own.
