Free PDF tools for common document tasks

PDF work usually starts with a simple problem: files are too large, pages are in the wrong order, several documents need to become one file, or a document has to be shared safely. This PDF hub gives you direct access to the most common PDF workflows without forcing you through signup screens or complicated software.

Combine and organize

  • Merge PDF to combine invoices, scanned pages, contracts or reports into one file, in an order you control.
  • Image to PDF to build a PDF from photos or scans instead — see "Merge vs Image to PDF" below.

Reduce size and secure

  • Compress PDF when a file is too large for email, upload forms or storage limits.
  • Protect PDF when a document needs a password before sending.
  • Unlock PDF only for files you own or have permission to modify.

Extract and convert

  • Split PDF when you only need selected pages or want to separate a large document into smaller files.
  • PDF to JPG when you need page images for previews, thumbnails or quick sharing.
  • PDF to Word when you need to edit the actual text content of a document.

Create a PDF from images

  • Image to PDF to combine one or more photos or scans into a single PDF, with page size, orientation and margin control.

Which tool do you actually need?

  • Merge vs Image to PDF: Merge combines existing PDF files. Image to PDF builds a new PDF out of JPG/PNG/WebP photos or scans. Use Merge only when your inputs are already PDFs.
  • Split vs PDF to JPG: Split gives you smaller PDF files (still PDFs). PDF to JPG gives you image files of each page — use it when the destination needs an image, not a document.
  • Compress vs conversion: Compress keeps the file as a PDF and shrinks it. Converting to JPG (via PDF to JPG) trades the PDF format entirely for images, which is a different kind of size reduction with a different result.
