Merging PDFs
When you have several related documents — a cover letter, a resume, and supporting certificates, for example — combining them into one file makes sharing easier. Our PDF Merge tool lets you drag in multiple PDFs, reorder them, and download a single combined file. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Splitting PDFs
Long documents are often more useful in smaller pieces. Our PDF Split tool lets you define ranges like 1-5 or 6-10 and extract those pages as separate PDF files. You can also split into individual pages with a single click.
Compressing PDFs
Email attachments often have size limits and large PDFs get rejected. Our PDF Compressor reduces file size by removing redundant internal data. Results vary depending on the source file — text-heavy PDFs typically compress noticeably; scanned image PDFs less so.
Converting PDFs to images
Sometimes you need an image of a PDF page — for a thumbnail, a preview, or a presentation slide. Our PDF to JPG and PDF to PNG tools render each page at high resolution directly in your browser.
Protecting PDFs
Before sharing sensitive documents, add password protection. Our PDF Protect tool encrypts the file so only people with the password can open it. The password is never transmitted anywhere.
Adding watermarks
Stamp "CONFIDENTIAL", "DRAFT", or your company name across every page with our PDF Watermark tool. Useful for marking draft versions or deterring unauthorised sharing.
