Do the PDF tools upload my files?

No. Merging, splitting, encrypting, watermarking and converting all run locally in your browser, so PDFs are never uploaded.

What PDF features are available?

Merge, split, extract pages, organize pages, encrypt/decrypt, watermark, convert to images, and convert Word/Excel/images to PDF.

Are the PDF tools free?

Yes. Every PDF tool is free to use without an account and runs directly in your browser.

Is there a limit on PDF file size?

There is no fixed cap; it depends on your device memory, so very large files are best processed in smaller batches.

What this category is for

PDF was designed to look identical on every device, and the price of that is a file which records where each glyph sits on the page rather than what the document means. That explains exactly where this category's abilities end: page-level work; merging, splitting, extracting, reordering, watermarking, encrypting; is reliable and lossless, while converting to Word means reconstructing structure that was never stored.

Everything runs in the browser, so contracts, invoices and scanned documents never go to a third-party service.

Choosing between these tools

Page-level organisation: Merge PDF joins documents with drag-to-reorder, Split PDF cuts by page range, Extract Pages pulls out the pages you want, and Organize PDF reorders, duplicates and deletes pages before export. None of these re-render content, so all are lossless.
Converting to another format: Convert to PDF accepts Word, Excel, PowerPoint, EPUB, images, Markdown and HTML. PDF to Word produces an editable DOCX. PDF to Image exports each page as PNG or JPG; handy for slides, or for people without a reader.
Controlling who can open it and do what: PDF Encrypt sets an open password and can restrict printing and copying, or remove a password you know. PDF Watermark overlays text with nine-point positioning, tiling, diagonal placement and adjustable opacity.

Formats and capabilities compared

How faithfully each operation preserves the original; worth checking before you pick one.

Operation	Lossless	What happens	Watch out for
Merge / split / extract / reorder	Yes	Only the organisation of page objects changes	Bookmarks and some form fields may not follow the pages
Watermark	Near-lossless	A layer is drawn over the original page	The watermark is an editable layer, so it is not tamper-proofing
Encrypt / decrypt	Yes	Only permissions and encryption settings change	Permission flags rely on the reader honouring them
PDF to Word	No	Paragraphs and styles are inferred from glyph positions	Complex layouts, tables and columns need a human pass

Limits that apply across this category

A scan is fundamentally an image. If the PDF came from a camera or scanner it has no text layer, so converting to Word or copying text returns nothing; run OCR first in that case.

PDF permission flags such as no-printing and no-copying are declarations addressed to the reader application, and they hold only as long as the reader honours them. Use an open password when the content genuinely needs protecting.

Local processing is bounded by browser memory. Files with very many pages, or lots of high-resolution images, can fail; split them first and process the parts.
