Work with PDFs
PDF Tools
Merge, split, compress and convert PDF files quickly and securely.
Available now
Working with PDFs usually means clunky desktop apps or risky upload sites. These tools do the common jobs — merging, splitting, compressing, organising pages and converting to Word — right in your browser, so your documents never leave your device.
That local processing matters for PDFs because they so often contain private material: contracts, statements, ID pages and application forms. You get the result you need without handing your files to a third-party server, and there is no sign up or watermark.
How to use these tools
- Pick the tool for the job — merge, split, compress, organise pages, or convert to another format.
- Add your PDF (or several PDFs, when merging) by selecting or dragging the files in.
- Set the options you need: the page order for a merge, the page ranges for a split, or a compression level.
- Preview the result to confirm the pages and order are correct.
- Download the finished PDF — the original stays untouched on your device.
Common ways people use them
- Combining a scanned form, an ID copy and a photo into a single PDF for an application.
- Splitting a long report so you only send the two pages someone actually needs.
- Compressing a scanned document so it fits under an email or portal size limit.
- Reordering or removing pages before printing or sharing.
- Converting a PDF to Word so you can edit the text instead of retyping it.
Good to know
Why PDFs are hard to edit
A PDF fixes the exact position of every character and image so it looks the same everywhere. That is great for sharing but means it was never designed for editing. Converting to Word extracts the text into an editable document, though very complex layouts may shift.
What actually shrinks a PDF
Most of a large PDF’s size comes from embedded images, especially scans. Compression re-encodes those images at a lower quality to cut the file size. Text-only PDFs are already small, so they compress far less than image-heavy or scanned ones.
Merging and splitting
Merging places whole files one after another in the order you choose, keeping every page intact. Splitting does the reverse: it extracts a range of pages, or separates every page into its own file, without altering the content.

Frequently asked questions
- Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
- No. All PDF tools run in your browser, so your documents stay completely private on your own device.
- How do I make a PDF smaller for email or a form?
- Use Compress PDF and choose a higher compression level. Image-heavy and scanned PDFs shrink the most.
- Can I merge and split PDFs?
- Yes. Merge PDF combines multiple files in any order, and Split PDF separates a file by page ranges or extracts every page.
- Does converting a PDF to Word keep the layout?
- It preserves the text so you can edit it, but complex layouts, columns and images may differ from the original.
- Is there a watermark on the output?
- No. The tools add no watermark and require no sign up, so your finished PDF is clean.
- Can I reorder or delete pages?
- Yes. The organise and page tools let you rearrange, rotate or remove pages before you export the final PDF.
