Free PDF Tools Online

All Tools Work in Your Browser — No Software Needed

Every tool on this page runs directly in the browser. There is nothing to download or install. Open the tool, upload the file, and the result downloads to your device. Some tools — like Compress PDF and Merge PDF — process everything locally on your device, meaning the file never leaves your computer. Others use a secure server to handle the conversion and delete the file immediately after.

This matters for a few reasons:

• No installation means no version updates, no licence keys, no compatibility issues — it works the same on Windows, Mac, Android, and iPhone.
• No account means no email verification, no password to remember, no subscription to cancel — open the tool and use it.
• No cost means no free tier with limits — there are no daily quotas, no file size paywalls, and no watermarks on the output.

Common PDF Problems These Tools Solve

Here are the situations people most commonly use these tools for:

“The file is too large to upload”

Government portals, job application sites, and email attachments often have strict file size limits — commonly 1MB, 2MB, or 5MB. The Compress PDF tool reduces file size significantly without visible quality loss. A 10MB scanned document can usually be brought under 1MB.

“I need to combine these PDFs into one file”

Attaching multiple PDFs separately is messy and easy to miss. The Merge PDF tool lets you drag in multiple files, arrange them in the right order, and download a single combined PDF. Used by students submitting assignments, professionals sending project files, and anyone preparing application documents.

“I only need pages 3 to 7 from this document”

The Split PDF tool and Remove Pages tool both handle this. Split PDF extracts a page range into a new file. Remove Pages deletes specific pages and keeps the rest. Both are useful when working with long documents where only part of the content is needed.

“This PDF won’t let me print or copy text”

PDFs with owner restrictions block printing, copying, or editing — even though the file opens normally without a password. The Unlock PDF tool removes these restrictions. If the PDF requires a password just to open, that is a different situation — use the Protect PDF tool in reverse: if you set the password yourself and know it, the Unlock tool handles owner restrictions, not open passwords.

“I need to sign this PDF and send it back”

The Sign PDF tool lets you draw your signature with a mouse or touch, type it in a handwriting-style font, or upload an image of your signature. Place it anywhere on the page and download the signed file. No printing, no scanning needed.

“I need to convert this PDF to an image or spreadsheet”

The PDF to JPG converter turns each page into a high-quality image. The PDF to CSV tool extracts tables from PDFs into a spreadsheet format. The PDF to Text tool pulls out all readable text. These are useful when the content of a PDF needs to be edited, analysed, or used somewhere else.
