Free PDF Tools (No Uploads)
Merge, split and create PDFs without sending your files anywhere. Every tool runs entirely in your browser, so contracts, statements and IDs stay on your device.
Most free PDF websites upload your documents to their servers to process them. That is a real risk for tax returns, bank statements, medical records, contracts and scans of IDs. These tools use the open-source pdf-lib library to do the work inside your browser tab: your files are read from your disk, processed in memory, and saved straight back. Nothing is uploaded, queued or stored.
Merge PDF combines several files into one in the order you choose. Split PDF extracts the pages you need, saves every page separately, or breaks a document into ranges. Image to PDF turns photos, scans and screenshots into a tidy PDF on Letter, A4 or image-sized pages. Pages are copied rather than re-rendered, so text stays sharp and searchable.

Frequently asked questions
Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. All processing happens in your browser with JavaScript. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tools keep working.
Can these tools open password-protected PDFs?
Yes. Tools that change a PDF ask for the password and save an unlocked copy. To simply remove a password you know, use Unlock PDF; to add one, use Protect PDF.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit; very large files depend on your device's memory. Typical documents and scans process in seconds.
