PDF Tools

These PDF tools merge, split, rotate and remove pages entirely inside your browser. Pages are copied rather than re-rendered, so text stays selectable and quality is unchanged, and no document is ever uploaded.

About pdf tools

PDF is a container format, and almost every useful operation on it is a matter of rearranging objects rather than redrawing pages. That is why these tools are lossless in a way that image editing never is: merging two documents copies page objects into a new container, splitting copies out the pages you named, and rotating writes a single number into each page dictionary. Nothing is re-encoded, so a scan comes out exactly as sharp as it went in and embedded text stays selectable and searchable. What none of these operations can preserve is structure that described the document as a whole. Bookmarks pointing at pages that no longer exist are dropped, page numbers printed onto the artwork do not renumber themselves, and digital signatures are invalidated by any structural change at all — that last one is by design, not a limitation of the tool, because a signature that survived editing would be worthless. Encrypted files are refused rather than mangled: the library used here does not decrypt content streams, so a document loaded past its password check would produce pages full of garbage. Remove the password in your reader first, then come back.

Every tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.
