The PDF category gathers free tools to merge, split, rotate, delete and extract pages, reorder, convert to images, and compress — helping you organize documents, reports, contracts, and teaching materials. All PDFs are processed locally, so files are never uploaded, which is ideal for sensitive documents.
Tools in this category:9 tools
Combine several files into one with Merge PDF, or slim content down by splitting, extracting, or deleting pages. Rotate and reorder fix scans that are sideways or out of order, while PDF to Image and PDF Compressor help you share or send files. These tools are free, need no sign-up, and require no desktop software.
When to use these tools
Merge several reports or attachments into one PDF
Extract the pages you need from a contract or textbook
Delete blank pages or content you won't share
Fix scans with wrong orientation or page order
Compress a PDF for email or upload limits

How to choose the right tool in PDF Tools
✓
A category page should shorten the decision, not make you try every tool. Write down the required output first, then compare input data, privacy needs, file format, reversibility, and the cost of checking the result. Similar names can describe different stages of a workflow, so choose by task boundary.
Choose Merge PDF when
Combine multiple PDFs in your chosen order into one file — all locally, with nothing uploaded. This is the stronger fit when the input is defined and that output is the actual goal. Before real work, use a small sample to confirm fields, units, interaction, and download format.
Switch to Split PDF when
Split a PDF into single pages or custom page-range files to share specific sections. If your problem is closer to this description, do not force the first-ranked option. Compare required source material, whether content is transformed, and whether the result remains editable.
Use Images to PDF for a third decision path
Turn ordered JPG or PNG images into one PDF, ideal for scanned photos, receipts, or notes. This option is a reminder that the task may need a different output type. After choosing, read that page’s limits and verification method, then test the result in the actual destination.
Category selection check
Identify whether the task is calculation, cleanup, generation, conversion, visualization, or timing.
Compare input format, data sensitivity, output reversibility, and destination requirements.
Do not overwrite the only source; keep working copies for files and consequential figures.
After choosing, follow the individual page’s limits and acceptance checklist.
