About PDF Tools
PDF is the universal document format for sharing, printing, and archiving content that needs to maintain its visual formatting across all devices and operating systems. But working with PDF files often requires operations — merging multiple documents, splitting out specific pages, rotating scanned pages, or converting pages to images — that traditionally required expensive desktop software or unreliable online services that upload your files to remote servers.
Our PDF Tools suite handles the most common PDF operations directly in your browser using PDF.js (Mozilla's open-source PDF renderer) and pdf-lib for manipulation. Merge brings multiple PDF files together in any order you specify. Split separates a PDF into individual pages or defined page ranges for extraction. Rotate fixes pages that were scanned sideways. Convert renders PDF pages to high-resolution images for use in presentations, social media, or further image editing.
Because all processing happens locally, this tool is safe to use with confidential contracts, medical records, financial statements, and any other sensitive documents you would not want to upload to an unknown third-party server. The files remain entirely on your device throughout every operation.

Tips
- ✓Use the PDF Compressor for focused file size reduction — it offers dedicated quality controls
- ✓When merging, drag file thumbnails to set the order before generating the combined PDF
- ✓Rotate only affects the selected pages — leave unaffected pages at their original orientation
- ✓PDF-to-image conversion produces one image per page — ideal for thumbnails or previews
- ✓For text-searchable PDFs, use the OCR tool on extracted images to make the text selectable
- ✓Large PDFs with many pages may take a few seconds to process in the browser
Frequently Asked Questions
No. All processing happens 100% in your browser using pdf-lib and pdfjs-dist. Your files never leave your device.
There is no hard limit, but files over 100 MB may cause your browser to slow down. For best results, keep files under 100 MB.
Results vary widely. Text-heavy PDFs see the best results (10–40% reduction). PDFs that are mostly scanned images see minimal reduction.
No. Password-protected PDFs cannot be opened or processed without the password.
72 DPI is fine for screen previews. 150 DPI is a good balance for general use. 300 DPI is recommended for print-quality output or OCR.
No. Once you download the modified PDF, the changes are permanent in that file. Your original file is never modified — all operations create a new output file.
