📥 The "sign and return" email
Fill in the fields, drop your signature exactly where it belongs, and send back a flattened, finished document. No printer, no scanner, no e-sign account.
Eighteen focused tools that handle every PDF job you will ever hit: merge, compress, convert, split, sign, fill, scan, redact, protect. Each one runs entirely in your browser, so the contract, lease, or medical record you are working on never touches a server.
The list runs from the jobs almost everyone needs (merging and shrinking files) down to the specialist tools that save your day twice a year. Every one of them is free, works offline once loaded, and never sees your document.
Merge any number of PDFs into one document. Drop, drag into order, download.
This is the tool people come back to every week. Drop in your files, drag them into the right order, and download a single merged PDF. There is no page cap and no "go premium to merge" wall, because there is no server doing the work. Your machine does it, which also means a stack of signed contracts or bank statements gets merged without any of them leaving your computer.
Shrink a PDF that is too big to email or upload, without wrecking the text.
Every portal and inbox has a size limit, and every scanner seems determined to blow past it. The compressor squeezes down the images and embedded data that make PDFs heavy while keeping the document readable, which is usually the difference between "attachment too large" and sent. Files with lots of photos see the biggest drops.
Pull exact pages or page ranges out of a big PDF into a clean new file.
Type the pages you want, like 1-3, 7, 12-15, and get a new PDF with just those pages. It is the fastest way to send someone a single chapter, share one clause of a contract, or peel an appendix off a 200-page report without forwarding the whole thing.
Turn sideways pages the right way up and save the fix permanently, not just for this viewing.
The rotate button in your PDF reader only turns your view; the file itself still opens sideways for everyone else. This tool writes the rotation into the document. Straighten a whole scan batch with one click or fix a single upside-down page from its thumbnail, and the downloaded copy opens correctly in every reader, on every device. Text stays selectable and nothing is recompressed.
Turn images, Word documents, and other everyday files into proper PDFs.
Whatever you have, whoever is asking wants it as a PDF. This converter takes photos, Word documents, and other common formats and produces a clean, predictable PDF, with the option to stamp text, notes, or a watermark on the way through. Photograph a paper form with your phone, convert it here, and you have something official enough to submit.
Export PDF pages as high-quality PNG, JPG, or WebP images at any resolution.
Slides, posters, and one-pagers often need to live outside the PDF: in a presentation, a social post, or a website. Pick your format and resolution, then download a single page or every page bundled into a ZIP. The rendering happens at full quality on your machine, so text stays crisp even at large sizes.
Type into fillable PDF forms, or drop text anywhere on a form that is not fillable.
Real fillable forms are detected automatically: text boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns, all typeable. And for the forms that are really just flat scans, you can place your own text exactly where each answer belongs and drag it into position. Flatten when you are done and the result is locked and ready to send. Tax forms, school forms, and intake paperwork stay on your device the whole time.
Draw or type your signature and place it precisely on any page.
The print-sign-scan ritual ends here. Create your signature once, position it exactly where the document needs it, and download the signed PDF. Combined with the Form Filler, it covers the entire "please sign and return" email without a sheet of paper involved. And unlike e-sign services, there is no account, no workflow emails, and no third party storing a copy of your signature.
The everything tool: combine, split, reorder, add text, draw, highlight, and stamp page numbers in one workspace.
When a document needs more than one kind of surgery, start here instead of hopping between tools. The Modifier rolls merging, splitting, page reordering, text stamping, freehand drawing, and highlighting into a single editing session, so a messy multi-step cleanup becomes one pass and one download. It is the closest thing on this page to a full PDF editor.
Click the pages you do not want and download the PDF without them.
Every page renders as a thumbnail. Click the blank scans, the duplicate pages, or the "this page intentionally left blank" filler, and download a trimmed document. It is the two-click answer to a job that used to mean rebuilding the whole file.
Turn a scanned PDF into searchable, copyable text without it leaving your device.
A scan is just a photograph of a page: you cannot search it or copy from it. OCR reads every page and gives you the text back, searchable inside the tool and exportable as TXT, JSON, or a searchable PDF. Running character recognition locally matters most exactly where OCR is most useful: old records, IDs, and archives full of personal information.
Turn a .docx into a clean PDF with real, selectable text, not a screenshot of your document.
"Please send it as a PDF" usually precedes something that matters: an application, a contract, a proposal. This converter rebuilds your Word document as genuine PDF text, so recipients can select, search, and quote it, and the file stays small. Headings, bold, lists, tables, images, and clickable links carry over. The documents people convert are exactly the ones that should stay private, and here they do: nothing is uploaded.
Turn a PDF into an editable Word document you can fix up in Word or Google Docs.
Someone sent you a PDF and you need to change three sentences. Instead of retyping the whole thing, convert it to a .docx you can open in Word or Google Docs. It does its best work on simply formatted documents: paragraphs, headings, bold and italic text, and hyperlinks come through, while heavily designed layouts may need some cleanup afterward. Because the conversion runs on your device, it is safe for offer letters, agreements, and anything else with your personal details.
Lock a PDF with a password using standard AES-256 encryption.
Before you email a document with salary figures, bank details, or a scan of your ID, put a password on it. The protector applies the standard AES-256 encryption that PDF readers everywhere understand, so the recipient just types the password you share with them separately. Encrypting locally is the whole point: a password added by an upload site protects you from everyone except that site.
Remove a password you know, or strip printing and copying restrictions, without uploading anything.
The mirror of the Password Protector, for the statements and payslips that arrive locked with a password you are tired of typing. Load the file and the tool tells you what kind of lock it has: enter the password once for password-protected files, or nothing at all for restriction-only locks, and download a copy that opens instantly everywhere. Think about what the alternative asks of you: handing a confidential document and its password to someone else's server. Here both stay on your device.
Drag page thumbnails into a new order and download the fixed document.
For the scan that came out backwards, the report with the summary buried on page 9, or the packet that needs its cover page moved to the front. Every page shows as a thumbnail; drag them into the order you actually wanted and download. No page numbers to type, just move what you can see.
Stamp DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, or any text across every page, styled your way.
Mark a document's status before it starts circulating. Set the wording, color, opacity, and position, and the watermark lands consistently on every page. A visible DRAFT has stopped more premature forwards than any email disclaimer ever has, and a copyright line across sample pages protects work you share publicly.
Add page numbers with full control: numeral style, position, font, and where counting starts.
Merged documents lose their numbering, and submissions often require it in a specific format. Choose Arabic or Roman numerals, pick the corner or center position, set the font, size, and color, use a label format like "Page 3 of 12", and tell it which page to start counting from so your cover page stays clean.
Permanently remove sensitive information, not just draw a black box over it.
There is a famous failure mode where "redacted" text is just a black rectangle sitting on top of perfectly copyable words. This tool does it properly: the redaction is baked in and irreversible, so the account numbers, names, or figures underneath are actually gone from the file. For documents this sensitive, processing them locally instead of uploading them is not a nice-to-have.
See the hidden author name, software, and timestamps in a PDF, then scrub them all.
Every PDF carries a hidden second document: the author's account name, the exact software and version that made it, creation timestamps to the second, and an XMP packet duplicating all of it. This tool lays it out in a table, flags the identifying fields, and removes everything you leave checked. The file is rewritten from scratch so the old values are actually gone, and you can reload the clean copy to verify. For a privacy job like this, running it locally is the whole point.
Search dozens of PDFs at once and export every match, with context, as CSV.
Ctrl+F works on one document. This works on a folder of them. Load all your PDFs, type a term, and see every occurrence across every file with a snippet of surrounding text, then export the whole result set as a CSV. If you have ever hunted for one clause across forty contracts or one name across a year of reports, this is the tool you wished existed.
Add clickable links to a finished PDF: invisible overlays, highlights, or new link text.
The PDF is final, and only then does someone ask for a clickable link to the booking page. Rather than rebuilding the document, draw a link zone right on top: invisible over existing text, visibly highlighted, or as newly added text. Menus, portfolios, and digital brochures get their taps and clicks without a round trip to the original design file.
Two versions of a contract in, every changed word out: strikethrough deletions, highlighted insertions.
Somewhere in the revised agreement, something changed, and reading thirty pages twice is not a method. Load both versions and get the classic redline (deletions struck through in red, insertions in green), a side-by-side view with synchronized scrolling, and a numbered change list you can reference in an email. The documents people most need to compare are exactly the ones that should never be uploaded, so nothing is: both PDFs are diffed in your browser's memory.
Snap a photo, drag four corners to straighten it, apply the scan filter, download a PDF.
Scanner apps process your paperwork on their servers; this one does the whole job in the browser. The camera opens directly on phones, a true perspective warp squares up angled shots, and the adaptive black-and-white filter produces crisp text on clean white even with shadows, the way real scanners do. Stack multiple pages with per-page filters and reorder, then export one PDF in A4, Letter, or matched size, or share it straight into email. Leases, IDs, and receipts never travel anywhere.
The tools are built to hand off to each other. These are the four combinations our users run most, and each one replaces a paid subscription somewhere.
Fill in the fields, drop your signature exactly where it belongs, and send back a flattened, finished document. No printer, no scanner, no e-sign account.
Photograph paperwork with your phone, convert the images into a PDF, make it searchable with OCR, and merge it into your running archive. Old filing cabinets, digitized in an afternoon.
Pull out only the pages the recipient needs, permanently redact what they should not see, and lock the result with a password before it goes anywhere near an inbox.
Merge the pieces into one document, fix the page order, stamp consistent page numbers, and watermark it with your brand or a DRAFT flag. It reads like one document because now it is one.
