This category collects every PDF tool on the site — merging several PDFs into one, splitting a PDF into separate files, compressing a bloated PDF's file size, converting pages to images, and adding a visual signature. Each tool does one job well rather than trying to be a full PDF editor, and every one of them runs entirely inside your browser using PDF-rendering and Canvas APIs built into the page itself. Your document is never uploaded to a server at any point — drop in a PDF, get your result back instantly, and that's the whole round trip. There's no account to create, no page-count limit imposed by a subscription tier, and no watermark stamped onto your output. Whether you're combining scanned pages into one file, pulling a handful of pages out of a longer report, shrinking a file so it fits an email attachment limit, or signing a document without printing and rescanning it, the tool you need is one click away below.

Frequently asked questions
- Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
- No. Every PDF tool in this category processes files locally in your browser. Your documents are never sent to a server, logged, or stored anywhere.
- Is there a file size or page count limit?
- Each tool enforces a soft limit (typically 20-30MB) as a safety cap against pathological memory use on very large files in the browser, not an artificial subscription restriction — there's no account tier, no daily quota, and no watermark added to results.
- Can I sign a PDF without printing and scanning it?
- Yes — the Sign PDF tool lets you draw a signature and place it anywhere on the page, entirely on-screen. This produces a visual signature, not a certified digital/PKI signature, so check whether your specific use case (e.g. a legal contract) requires the latter.
- Will compressing my PDF keep the text selectable and searchable?
- No — Compress PDF works by re-rendering each page as an image, which means any selectable or searchable text becomes part of a flattened image. It's best suited for already-scanned or image-heavy PDFs rather than text-based documents you still need to search or copy from.
- Can I work with password-protected PDFs?
- Not currently. Encrypted PDFs aren't supported yet — the tools will show a clear error rather than fail silently if you try to open one.
