PDF Tools

Edit PDFs without handing them to anyone. Every tool here runs inside your browser.

Nothing is uploaded. Your files never leave this tab.

Why these run in the browser

Almost every PDF service on the web works by uploading. You hand over the file, a server somewhere does the work, and you download what comes back. For a takeaway menu that is perfectly reasonable. For the documents people actually reach for a PDF editor to handle — a signed contract, a payslip, a scan of a passport, a letter from a hospital — it means sending a copy of something sensitive to a company you know nothing about, on the strength of a promise to delete it later.

These tools avoid the question entirely. The file is read from your disk into this tab, the work happens in JavaScript on your own machine, and the result is handed back as a download. There is no upload step to trust, and you can verify that yourself: open your browser's network tab while you work, or simply disconnect from the internet once the page has loaded. Everything still functions.

The trade-off is honest enough to state plainly. Your device does the work, so a very large scan will be slower on an old phone than on a desktop, and files are capped at 100 MB to keep a tab from running out of memory. In exchange, nothing you open here is ever transmitted, logged, or stored.

Frequently asked questions

Are my PDFs uploaded anywhere?

Not by these tools. Every one of them reads your file into the browser tab, does the work there, and hands the result straight back as a download. Nothing crosses the network, which is worth caring about because the documents people most often need to edit — contracts, statements, medical letters — are exactly the ones they would rather not upload to a stranger’s server.

How big a PDF can these handle?

Individual files are capped at 100 MB. Because the work happens in the tab, the real ceiling is your device’s memory rather than a server quota: a laptop will handle a few hundred pages comfortably, while an older phone may struggle with large scans. A file over the cap is refused with a clear message rather than being allowed to crash the tab.

Can these tools open a password-protected PDF?

Yes, if you know the password. The tool asks for it, unlocks the document in memory, and works on it normally. The password is never stored or sent anywhere. Note that the output is not protected again afterwards, so re-apply protection yourself if the result needs it.

Will editing a PDF here reduce its quality?

Not for the page-level tools. Merging, splitting, extracting, removing and reordering copy pages across untouched, so text stays selectable and images are never re-compressed. Compression is the exception, and it says plainly which of its modes are lossless and which trade quality for size.

What is not preserved when pages move between documents?

Two things. Bookmarks — the document outline — are dropped, so a merged or reordered file loses its outline. And form fields can collide: if two merged documents use the same field names, the combined form may behave unpredictably. Page content, sizes, rotation and external links all carry over normally.
