Why people use PDFToolbox

  • 100% free, forever

    Every tool is free with no accounts, subscriptions, trial limits, or watermarks. The site is supported by non-intrusive ads.

  • Browser-first privacy

    Merge, split, and compress run entirely on your device. The file content never touches our servers — close the tab and it's gone.

  • 2-hour auto-delete

    When a tool does need our server (convert, edit), results live on a private link and are wiped automatically within 2 hours.

  • Delete on demand

    Every result page has a delete button that removes your files from our server instantly — no waiting for expiry.

  • Fast on any device

    A 50-page merge finishes in under a second on a typical laptop. Tools work on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers.

  • No artificial limits

    No daily task caps or page-count paywalls. The only limit is a 50MB per-file size cap to keep processing reliable.

Your documents stay yours

PDFs often contain contracts, invoices, IDs, and other sensitive information — so we built PDFToolbox privacy-first. Merge, split, and compress process everything locally in your browser using WebAssembly-grade JavaScript libraries; your file content is never transmitted. Convert and edit need server processing, and we say so before any upload starts: results live on a private unguessable link, auto-delete within 2 hours, and can be removed instantly with the delete button.

Frequently asked questions

Is PDFToolbox really free?

Yes. All five tools — merge, split, compress, convert, and edit — are completely free with no account, subscription, or watermark. The site is funded by advertising shown in clearly marked areas that never block the tools.

Are my PDF files safe?

Merge, split, and compress run entirely in your browser, so those files are never uploaded anywhere. Convert and edit use our server: files are stored on a private, unguessable link, deleted automatically within 2 hours, and you can delete them instantly with one click.

Do I need to install any software?

No. Everything runs in your web browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. There is nothing to download or install.

Is there a file size limit?

Each file can be up to 50MB. There are no limits on the number of tasks you can run or the number of pages in your PDFs.

Can I work with password-protected PDFs?

Yes. When you upload an encrypted PDF, we ask for its password. The password is used only for the current task, is never stored, and is discarded as soon as processing finishes.

Which formats can I convert?

You can convert PDF to Word (.docx), PDF to JPEG or PNG images, Word documents (.doc/.docx) to PDF, and JPEG or PNG images to PDF.

Do merged or edited PDFs keep their quality?

Yes. Merge, split, and edit preserve the original page content exactly. Compression is the only tool that intentionally re-encodes images, and you control the quality level with three presets.

Do you sell or share my files or data?

No. We never sell, share, or analyze the content of your documents. Browser tools never transmit your files, and server-processed files are deleted within 2 hours.

Every PDF task in one place

Combine and organize documents

Use Merge PDF to combine reports, scans, invoices, or chapters into one file, arranging them in any order before download. Need the opposite? Split PDF extracts specific page ranges or breaks a document into single pages — perfect for sharing just the pages someone needs.

Shrink files for email and upload

Compress PDF reduces file size so documents fit email attachment limits and upload forms. Pick from three presets to balance quality against size, and see the before/after comparison before you download.

Convert between formats

Convert PDF turns PDFs into editable Word documents or shareable JPG/PNG images, and turns Word files and images back into PDFs. Results are delivered on a private link you can re-download for up to 2 hours.

Edit without desktop software

Edit PDF gives you a visual workspace to reorder pages by drag-and-drop, rotate or remove pages, and add text, highlights, and shapes — no Acrobat or installs required.
