PDF Tools

Your PDFs never leave your browser — no uploads, no watermarks, no signup.

How this is different: Everything runs locally in this tab. The file you drop never gets uploaded, never gets watermarked, never gets logged on someone else's server. Use it on as many files as you want, of any size your browser can hold.

PDF Merge

Combine multiple PDFs into one. Drag in your files, drag them into the order you want, and download the merged result. No file count limit, no size limit beyond what your browser can handle.

Open Merge Tool

PDF Split

Pull out specific pages or page ranges from a PDF. Type something like 1-3, 5, 8-end and get either one combined PDF or a ZIP with each range as its own file.

Open Split Tool

PDF Rotate

Rotate any page (or every page) by 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Live thumbnail preview so you can see exactly which pages are sideways before saving.

Open Rotate Tool

Need a desktop PDF app?
