Free PDF Tools
A complete PDF toolkit that runs entirely in your browser. Merge, split, compress, rotate, watermark, number, protect, and unlock — your files are never uploaded.
Most popular PDF tools
Use Merge PDF when you need to combine several files — receipts, chapters, or signed pages — into one clean document. Reach for Compress PDF when a file is too large for email, a job portal, or a school upload. Split PDF pulls out just the pages you need from a long report, and PDF to Word turns a finished PDF back into an editable document. Every one of these runs on your own device, so even confidential files stay with you.
Best PDF tools for students
Students can turn homework photos into a single PDF with JPG to PDF, shrink a bulky assignment with Compress PDF so it fits an upload limit, and use PDF to Word to edit lecture notes or fill in a handout. Because nothing is uploaded, you can work on shared campus Wi‑Fi without your coursework passing through a stranger's server.
Best PDF tools for office work
At work, merge invoices into one file before sending, split a contract to share only the relevant clause, add page numbers to a proposal, and password-protect a confidential PDF before it leaves your desk. Convert a Word draft to PDF so it looks identical on every client's screen. These are the everyday document chores that normally mean uploading sensitive business files — here they happen in the browser instead.
Private PDF tools vs upload converters
Most online PDF tools upload your document to a server, convert it there, and hand back a download link. That means a wait while the file transfers, a daily cap once the free tier runs out, and your document sitting on someone else's machine. File Transmute processes PDFs directly in your browser with pdf-lib and pdf.js, so there is no upload, no queue, and no daily limit for the in-browser tools — turn off your Wi‑Fi after the page loads and they still work.
Supported PDF tasks
Merge PDF, split PDF, compress PDF, rotate PDF, delete pages, organize and reorder pages, add page numbers, watermark, password-protect and unlock PDFs, plus conversions: PDF to Word, Word to PDF, JPG to PDF, PDF to JPG, PDF to Text, and images to PDF. A few high-fidelity Office conversions run on the server and are clearly labelled.
