PDF Tools

Merge, split, rotate and number PDF files, or turn photos and scans into a PDF — free, in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

A PDF looks the same on every device and printer, which is why forms, schools and employers ask for one. These tools cover both sides of the job: making a PDF from the images you already have — phone photos, scans, screenshots — and fixing a PDF you have been sent, whether it needs combining, splitting, turning the right way up, reordering, numbering or stamping.

To make a PDF, start with Image to PDF, which takes every format at once; JPG to PDF and PNG to PDF cover those formats in detail. To work on PDFs you already have, merge PDF files into one, split a PDF into parts, rotate pages, organize the pages, add page numbers or watermark a PDF.

Which PDF tool do you need?

  • Send photographed documents as one file

    Combine the photos with Image to PDF, in the order the pages should appear.

  • Turn JPG photos or scans into a PDF

    Use JPG to PDF: the JPGs go into the PDF untouched, with no quality loss.

  • Combine several PDFs into one

    Merge PDF joins them in the order you set, with every page kept as it was.

  • Send only some pages of a PDF

    Split PDF pulls out the pages you pick, or breaks the file into separate PDFs.

  • Fix pages that are sideways or upside down

    Rotate PDF turns them upright and saves them that way.

  • Remove or reorder pages

    Organize PDF pages removes the pages you don’t want and moves the rest, then saves a new copy.

  • Number or mark a document before sending it

    Add page numbers, or stamp DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL across every page with Watermark PDF.

  • Keep the PDF under an upload limit

    Compress the photos or resize them before converting — a PDF is about the size of the images inside it.

  • Get images or text from a PDF

    The PDF and OCR guide explains whole-page rendering, resolution, page ranges and plain-text extraction.

How the PDF tools work

Everything happens in your browser: images are read on your device, placed on A4, Letter or image-sized pages and written into a PDF you download, and a PDF you already have is opened, changed and saved on your device too. Nothing is uploaded, so private documents such as ID cards, contracts and bank statements stay with you.

iPhone photos in HEIC format are read directly, and sideways phone photos are turned upright before they go into the PDF. To prepare images first, the image tools can crop, resize and compress them.

The one kind of PDF these tools cannot open is a password-protected one: remove the password in the application that set it, then try again.

Frequently asked questions

Are the PDF tools free to use?
Yes. There is no account, nothing is stamped on your files and there is no limit on how many PDFs you create or edit.
Can I turn a set of pictures into one PDF?
Yes. Add as many images as you need to Image to PDF, arrange them with the arrows, and each becomes one page of the same PDF.
Which image formats can go into a PDF?
JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC and AVIF, mixed freely in the same document.
Can I merge or split existing PDF files?
Yes. Merge PDF and Split PDF work on PDFs you already have, as do the tools for rotating, reordering, numbering and watermarking listed under “Which PDF tool do you need?” above.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. PDFs are created and edited inside your browser and never leave your device.
Can I edit the text in a PDF?
No. The tools work on whole pages — combining, splitting, rotating, reordering, numbering and stamping them — but they do not change the text or pictures on a page.
