10 tools, nothing uploaded
Free online PDF tools. Edit the document; never hand it over.
10 PDF utilities — merging, splitting, reordering, extracting, rotating, watermarking, numbering, converting to and from images, and cleaning up metadata — each documented down to the part of the file format it touches. They run in this browser tab, so a signed contract or a scan of your passport is never uploaded in order to have two pages swapped.

Why the documents are processed on your device
PDFs are the paperwork of everything consequential: contracts, invoices, payslips, medical letters, tax filings, scans of passports and driving licences. They are the files people would least choose to hand to a stranger, and yet the standard way to merge two of them is to upload both to a site whose business model you have never examined — many of which state in their own terms that uploads are retained for a period, processed on third-party infrastructure, or kept long enough for a support ticket. Here nothing is transmitted. Files are read from disk with the File API, structural edits are made by pdf-lib inside the page, and previews and thumbnails are rendered by pdf.js on your own device. That architecture also produces a better file: merging, splitting, extracting, reordering and rotating copy the original page objects between documents, so text stays selectable, links keep working, embedded fonts travel with their pages, vector artwork stays sharp at any zoom and screen readers still see a document. Many free PDF sites rasterise each page into an image on the server instead, which is why their output is several times larger, blurs when you zoom and cannot be searched. Rotation here is a single /Rotate value in the page dictionary rather than a re-render, so it is lossless and instant. Only one tool converts pages to pixels — PDF to Images — and it says so on its own page, because that is the entire point of it. You can verify the privacy claim in ten seconds rather than believing it: open your browser's network inspector, merge or split a file, and watch that no request carries the document. The same property is why every tool keeps working with the network disconnected.
Questions
PDF tools here, answered
Are my PDFs uploaded to be processed?
No. Every tool reads the file from disk and writes the result inside this browser tab. Open your network inspector, merge or split something, and confirm that no request contains the document — that check takes ten seconds and is worth more than any retention policy.
Will merging or splitting turn my text into images?
No. Structural operations copy the original page objects, so text stays selectable, links keep working and embedded fonts come with their pages. Tools that rasterise pages on a server produce a larger file that cannot be searched — the only tool here that rasterises is PDF to Images, where pixels are the requested output.
Can these tools open a password-protected PDF?
No. An encrypted document's streams and strings cannot be read without the password, so the file is detected and reported rather than failing halfway through. Remove the password in the application that set it, then come back.
Is there a file size or page count limit?
No plan limit, but your device sets a real one. Previews render sequentially at a capped scale so a several-hundred-page document does not exhaust memory on a phone, and very large files are slower on mobile than on a laptop. Nothing is queued behind a server, so the wait is only the work itself.
