PDF: tools and formats
Everything we can do with PDF files. Most of it right in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
Tools
- Merge PDFin your browserJoin several PDF files into one, in the order you picked. Nothing is re-rendered: pages are copied as they are.
- Split PDFin your browserPull pages out of a PDF — a range, a few ranges, or every page as its own file.
- Rotate and delete PDF pagesTurn pages that were scanned sideways and drop the ones you do not need — in one pass over the document.
- Images to PDFin your browserTurn photos and scans into one PDF, in the order you picked. HEIC from an iPhone works too.
- Compress PDFMake a PDF lighter by re-encoding the images inside it. If the result is not meaningfully smaller, you get the original back — untouched.
- PDF to imagesTurn PDF pages into JPG or PNG — one image per page. Handy when the document has to be shown where PDF is not opened.
- PDF to textPull the text out of a document. Works where text exists: a scan is a picture, and we do not recognise it.
- Unlock PDFRemove the password from a document you can already open. You type the password — we never guess it.
- Password-protect PDFLock a document with a password before sending it. Without the password it will not open anywhere.
Formats, and when each one fits
- PDFsince 1993
- — The document is being sent, printed or filed somewhere official
- — The layout must not shift on someone else’s device
- — Loose pages need to become one file

Each page compares the formats by facts and shows compression figures we measured ourselves, not generalities.
