Common mistakes

Wrong file version (damaged, low-quality scanned or protected PDF).
Sending without review, which can let layout or content errors slip through.
Deleting the original too quickly before validating the processed PDF.
Using a public computer or unsecured Wi-Fi for a sensitive document.

Pro tips

Keep an original copy of every PDF before making any changes.
Use a clear, descriptive file name (date, subject, version).
Check the pages, fonts and images after processing to avoid surprises.
Test important documents on another device (mobile, tablet, another browser).

Privacy guaranteed

Your PDFs stay under your control. Local processing in the browser is preferred whenever possible: your files are never stored, shared or sold.

Why use this free online PDF tool?

This free PDF tool simplifies common operations (compress, merge, split, convert, edit, protect, sign) without installing Adobe Acrobat or any heavy software. It works in every browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS, with an English interface designed for beginners and professionals alike (students, freelancers, SMEs, public administrations). Also discover our tool to compress pdf online.

Quality, layout and fidelity of the result

The result depends on the source file and the options chosen: a high-resolution PDF preserves the original image quality and layout, while strong compression reduces the file size. Our engine preserves fonts, vector images, hyperlinks and document structure for a faithful result, ready for printing or sharing by email.

Privacy and security of your documents

PDFs can contain sensitive data (banking information, contracts, medical data, credentials). Use a trusted device, close the page after use, and prefer our 100% local tools that never send your documents to a third-party server — a clear advantage over competitors that store your files in the cloud.

Compatibility with all formats and devices

Our tool supports all standard PDFs (PDF/A for long-term archiving, PDF/X for professional printing, interactive PDFs with forms and signatures) as well as the main associated formats (JPG, PNG, WebP, DOCX, TXT, HTML). No installation required: the tool runs on Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora), ChromeOS, Android and iOS (iPhone, iPad), with an interface adapted to mobile screens, tablets and laptops. Compatible with recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera and Brave.

Use cases and relevant sectors

This PDF tool is used every day by students to put together their theses and internship reports, by freelancers to send quotes and invoices to their clients, by SMEs to handle contracts, purchase orders and payslips, by lawyers and notaries to prepare confidential legal files, by doctors to share medical reports, and by public administrations to digitize and archive official documents. It also suits individuals who want to merge supporting documents, compress a job application file, or password-protect a personal document before sending it by email or WeTransfer.
