Merge, split, compress, convert and stamp PDFs — free, unlimited, no sign-up, no watermarks. Everything runs right here in your browser, so your tax return, contract or payslip is never uploaded to anyone's server. Not ours. Anyone's.
No queue, no “processing on our servers,” no download paywall at the last step. Choose, drop your files, download the result. That's the whole flow, every time.
Leave the range empty to extract nothing — pages are counted from 1.
Compress re-renders each page as an optimized image inside a new PDF — perfect for emailing scans and forms. Text-heavy PDFs with selectable text may see smaller gains.
Multiple pages download together as a ZIP.
Works on JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP images. Multiple images download as a ZIP.
Working…
PDF tools get used on the most sensitive documents in your life. The usual model — upload to a stranger's server, hope for the best — is a choice, not a necessity. This site is built the other way.
In March 2025, the FBI's Denver Field Office warned that free online file-converter sites have delivered malware and harvested uploaded files containing SSNs, banking details and passwords. Processing locally removes that entire category of risk. Read the summary
People routinely feed payslips, national ID cards, bank letters and contracts into online PDF tools — users have described their own surprise at realising they'd uploaded exactly those documents to a server-side tool. Here, there is no server side.
No upload wait, no queue, no “your file is being processed.” On any modern phone or laptop, merging or splitting a typical document finishes before an upload to a remote tool would even complete.

What the big names' free tiers actually give you, per their own published limits and independent tests — and what changes when the work happens on your device instead.
| PandaPDF | Smallpdf (free) | iLovePDF (free) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where files are processed | On your device — never uploaded | Uploaded to their servers | Uploaded to their servers |
| Daily task limit | Unlimited | 2 tasks/day — a third file can be converted, then the paywall appears at download | Limited; batch & advanced tools are Premium |
| Account required | Never | Pushed aggressively | For some tools |
| Watermarks | None, ever | On some free output | None on basic tools |
| Price of “full” version | $0 — this is the full version | ~$12/mo Pro | ~$4–7/mo Premium |

Yes. Because your own device does the work, there's no server bill per file for us to ration — so there's no 2-tasks-a-day cap, no watermark, and no download held hostage behind a paywall. That's the whole advantage of building it this way.
Nowhere. Each tool runs in this browser tab using open-source libraries (PDF-Lib and PDF.js). Close the tab and everything is gone. You can verify it yourself: load the page, switch on airplane mode, and run a tool — it works offline once loaded.
Only your device's memory. Typical documents, scans and photo sets are fine. Extremely large files (hundreds of MB) may strain a phone — a laptop handles those best.
Not in this version, honestly. Editing embedded text and high-quality OCR are genuinely hard to do well entirely in a browser, so rather than ship a bad version, these tools stick to merging, splitting, compressing, converting, rotating and stamping — the jobs people need daily — and do them properly.
Those are exactly what this site is for. Since nothing is transmitted, there's no copy of your document sitting on a server, in a queue, or in a log. It's the same reason the FBI's converter warning doesn't apply here: there's no upload to intercept or harvest.
