Organize PDFs
The core PDF jobs all stay in your browser. Merge PDF combines several files into one, Split PDF pulls out the pages you need, and Rotate PDF fixes sideways scans. To shrink a file for email, Compress PDF reduces its size, and PDF Page Counter tells you how many pages it has.
Convert PDF to and from other formats
To get content out of a PDF, PDF to Text extracts the words, and PDF to JPG with PDF to PNG turn a page into an image. To make a PDF, Text to PDF, Image to PDF, and Markdown to PDF build one from what you have.
Turn data into a PDF
For reports and paperwork, CSV to PDF Table lays a spreadsheet out as a clean table, JSON to PDF Report turns data into a readable document, and XML to PDF Invoice renders an invoice from structured data.
Inspect and encode
To look inside a file, PDF Metadata Viewer shows the author, title, and other hidden fields. To move a PDF through a system that expects text, PDF to Base64 and Base64 to PDF encode and decode it.
Other document conversions
Beyond PDF, Markdown to HTML publishes notes to the web, EPUB to Text pulls the text from an ebook, and CSV to Markdown Table formats data for docs. For subtitles, SRT to VTT and VTT to SRT swap caption formats, and the Word Counter checks length.
How to choose the right tool
Start from the file and the goal. Combining or separating pages is merge or split. A file too big for email is compress. Getting content out is the text or image extractor, and making a PDF is one of the converters. For anything confidential, the deciding factor is that these tools keep the file on your device rather than uploading it.
Trusted alternatives
For editing, a free office suite like LibreOffice exports to PDF, and your browser or operating system can print to PDF from almost any document. Dedicated PDF software handles heavy editing. Be aware that many popular PDF websites upload your file to their servers, so for sensitive documents a browser tool that keeps the file local is the safer choice.
