Free online PDF tools, without the upload
Merge, split, compress, sign, watermark, unlock: every PDF tool on this page runs entirely in your browser. Your document is never uploaded to a server, so contracts, payslips and medical records stay on your device.
The suite covers the everyday jobs (merge, organize, compress) and the long tail (Bates numbering, deskew, repair, OCR). One honest limit: we do not convert PDF to editable Word, because that cannot be done well without server-side processing. For text you can copy, use PDF to text or OCR.

Frequently asked questions
Are these PDF tools really free?
Yes. Every tool is free, with no page limits, no watermarks, and no account required. The site will be funded by advertising rather than by locking features behind a subscription.
Is it safe to use them with confidential PDFs?
Yes, and you can verify it: processing happens in your browser, so the PDF never leaves your device. Open your browser's network tab while using a tool: you will see no file upload.
Can I convert a PDF to an editable Word document?
No, and we say so upfront: a faithful PDF to Word conversion needs server-side processing, which would break the no-upload promise. We offer PDF to text and OCR to extract the text locally instead.
