PDF tools

How to choose the right tool
To combine or split, use merge, split, extract pages, delete pages and rearrange pages. To change how pages look, rotate, add page numbers or a watermark, or sign a PDF. To move between formats, use JPG, PNG or image to PDF, PDF to JPG, PDF to text, PDF to Word and text to PDF. To shrink a file, use compress PDF, and to edit its properties, the metadata editor.
Accuracy, sources and privacy
PDFs are read and written in your browser, so private documents never leave your device and there is no watermark. Password-protected PDFs must be unlocked first. Compression in strong mode turns pages into pictures, so text is no longer selectable; light mode keeps the text. PDF to Word is a text-only conversion, not a copy of the layout. Everything on these pages runs in your browser. What you type is not sent to a server, not stored by us and not added to the web address.
Questions about pdf tools
Is it safe to use these for private documents?
Yes. Files are read on your device and not uploaded, so contracts and ID scans stay with you.
Why can't I open a password-protected PDF?
A protected file cannot be read until the password is removed. Remove it in the program that created it, then try again.
Will compression change my PDF?
Light mode keeps text and links with a small saving. Strong mode makes pages into pictures for the biggest saving, and text then cannot be selected.
Does PDF to Word keep the layout?
No. It extracts the text into paragraphs and page breaks. Pictures, tables and columns are not carried over.
