Free PDF Tools

Merge a stack of scans, pull pages out of a long document, fill and sign a form, or turn images into a PDF. Several of these tools do the work inside your browser with JavaScript and WebAssembly, so the file never goes to a server.

Start with these

  1. EditPDF Pro It lets you add text, draw, sign, and fill PDF form fields in the browser.
  2. SplitPDF It splits PDFs by page selection, bookmarks, chapters, or target file size locally.
  3. PDFCombiner It merges multiple PDF files in the browser with drag-and-drop reordering.

Questions about Free PDF Tools

Is it safe to put a private PDF into an online tool?

With a tool that processes files locally, the document stays on your device. You can confirm it by watching the Network tab in your browser's developer tools while the tool runs.

Why is a merged PDF bigger than the originals?

Merging keeps every embedded font and image. Run the result through a compressor if you need it smaller.

Can I edit the text inside a PDF?

You can add text, drawings, signatures and form entries on top of the page. Rewriting the original text layer needs the source document.
