About PDF Tools
PDF is the closest thing the web has to a universal document format, but working with it usually means reaching for desktop software or handing your files over to an unfamiliar upload site. Our PDF tools handle the most common PDF jobs — combining, splitting, shrinking, and converting to and from images — entirely in your browser, so your documents never leave your device.
Everyday PDF Jobs, Solved Instantly
Merge PDF brings scattered files back together into one document — a cover letter and its attachments, a batch of scanned receipts, or chapters written separately — in the exact order you choose. Split PDF does the reverse: break a document apart page by page, by custom range, or extract just the pages you need into a new file. Compress PDF tackles the single biggest cause of oversized PDFs, embedded images, re-encoding them at a quality level you choose so a bulky scan fits comfortably under an email attachment limit.
PDF to Image turns every page of a document into a JPG or PNG at your chosen resolution, useful for pulling a diagram into a slide deck or generating page thumbnails. Image to PDF does the opposite, taking a batch of photos or scans and assembling them into a single, properly ordered PDF — the natural next step after photographing a stack of paperwork with a phone.
Everything Runs Locally — Your Documents Never Leave Your Device
Every tool in this category reads, transforms, and rebuilds your PDF entirely inside your browser using JavaScript PDF libraries — nothing is ever uploaded to a server. That means you can merge a signed contract, compress a scanned medical form, or split a confidential report without any of that content being transmitted anywhere. You can confirm this yourself by watching your browser's network tab while you use any of these tools — there's no outgoing request carrying your file's data. It also means processing starts the instant you select a file, with no upload progress bar and no dependency on a live connection once the page has loaded.
Choosing the Right PDF Tool
Reach for Merge PDF when you have several files that belong together as one document, and Split PDF when you have one file that needs to become several. Reach for Compress PDF specifically when file size is the problem — an email attachment limit, an upload portal restriction — and the document itself doesn't need to change shape. Reach for PDF to Image or Image to PDF whenever the destination format is the deciding factor: a platform that only accepts images, or a stack of photographed pages that need to become one shareable document. Several of these tools work well together in sequence — split a large PDF into sections, compress each one, then merge the pieces you need back into a final file.
Who Uses These Tools
Office and administrative workers use Merge and Split constantly to assemble and break apart the everyday paperwork that flows through email — expense reports, signed agreements, scanned forms. Students and researchers use Compress to get large scanned readings or reports under a submission portal's size limit without losing readability. Designers and marketers use PDF to Image to pull assets out of a PDF-based brief or spec sheet, and small businesses use Image to PDF to turn phone-photographed receipts, forms, and documents into properly filed PDFs without ever touching a scanner.
