Free Online PDF Tools

Q: Are these PDF tools really free?

Yes. All 84 tools on this site are free to use — no signup, no subscription and no watermarks. Open a tool, drop your file and download the result.

Q: Is it safe to use online PDF tools here?

Most tools run entirely in your browser, which means your file is processed on your own device and never uploaded to a server. The few tools that need server processing use an encrypted connection and delete your file within one hour.

Q: Do I need to create an account or install anything?

No. There is no account and no software to install. Every tool works directly in a modern browser on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS.

Q: How do I merge PDF files for free?

Open the Merge PDF tool, drag in two or more files, arrange the page order and start the merge. The combined PDF downloads in seconds.

Q: How can I reduce PDF file size?

Open the Compress PDF tool, choose a compression level — low, medium or high — and download the smaller file. Compression targets embedded images first, so text stays sharp.

Q: Will my files get a watermark?

Never. Results are watermark-free whether it is your first file or your hundredth.

Merge, split, compress and convert PDFs, plus a full image toolkit for JPG, PNG and WebP. Every tool runs in your browser, so files stay on your device.
