Free Online PDF Tools

PDFs are exactly the documents you should not be uploading to a stranger’s server: contracts, invoices, scanned IDs, bank statements, medical results. Every tool on this page uses pdf-lib inside your browser, so the file is opened, modified, and saved without a single byte being transmitted. Merge a signed contract with its appendices, split a 200-page statement to send one page to your accountant, compress a scan that is too big for an email attachment, or add a password before sharing. There is no daily limit, no watermark, and no five-minute wait for a queue — the work is done by your own CPU, so the only constraint is how fast your laptop is.

Why use these pdf tools

Contracts stay confidential

pdf-lib parses and rewrites the document entirely in the browser. Nothing is uploaded, so the same tool is safe for a signed NDA, a payslip, or a scanned passport.

No task limits or watermarks

Merge, split, rotate, and compress as many documents as you like. There is no two-file-per-hour rule, no branded footer added to the output, and no premium tier to unlock page counts.

Password protection both ways

Add AES encryption before sharing a document, or remove a password from a PDF you already have the credentials for, without installing desktop software.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to merge confidential PDFs here?

Yes. The document is read with FileReader and manipulated by pdf-lib inside the page. There is no upload request and no server copy, so a signed contract or a bank statement is no more exposed than it is sitting in your downloads folder.

How many files can I process per day?

As many as you want. Daily limits exist on other sites to cap server costs; here the processing happens on your machine, so there is nothing to ration. No account, no queue, no premium tier.

How much can compression shrink a PDF?

It depends on the source. Scanned documents, which are really images inside a PDF wrapper, often drop by 60–80%. A text-only PDF exported from Word is already compact and may only shrink by 10–20%, since there is little redundancy left to remove.
