About PDFTools

PDFTools is a collection of eighteen free PDF tools that work entirely in your web browser. It was made by Anees Ur Rehman for everyone who needs a quick PDF job done — merging files, splitting a document, rotating sideways pages, editing a page, watermarking a draft, filling in a form, reordering pages, converting images to PDF, or pulling text out of a PDF — without paying for software, installing anything, or uploading private documents to a server.

Every tool on this site runs on your own device. When you choose a file, it is read by your browser and processed locally with open-source libraries (pdf-lib and pdf.js). Nothing is uploaded to any server, nothing is stored, and nothing is shared with anyone. That is why the tools are fast even on a slow connection, and why they are safe for private documents.

PDFTools is free forever. There is no account, no sign-up, no trial and no watermark on the files you make. The site is supported by advertising (Google AdSense) — the ads keep the tools free, and you can choose personalised or non-personalised ads with the cookie banner at the bottom of the page.

What you can do here

Merge PDF combines several PDFs into one. Split PDF extracts pages or cuts a file in two. Rotate PDF fixes sideways pages. Delete Pages removes blank or unwanted pages. PDF Editor adds text, highlights, drawings, white-out and signatures on top of any page. PDF Watermark stamps text or an image on every page. Fill PDF Forms types into real form fields. Reorder PDF Pages drags pages into a new order. PDF Metadata Editor changes a PDF's title, author, subject and keywords. Images to PDF turns photos into a PDF, and PDF to Images turns pages into pictures. Compress PDF shrinks files honestly, Add Page Numbers stamps numbers on every page, and Extract Text copies the text out of any PDF. PDF to Word turns a PDF into an editable Word file, Word to PDF turns a Word file into a PDF, PDF to Excel turns PDF text into a spreadsheet, and Excel to PDF turns a spreadsheet into a PDF table.
