PDF Tools: Merge, Optimize, Protect, and Extract PDF Pages
Work with PDF files directly in your browser without installation or registration. Merge documents, extract selected pages, optimize a PDF, or protect a file with a password locally on your device. Your files are not uploaded to a server.
Four PDF functions
Combine multiple PDFs into one document, select pages and export them as a new file, reduce unnecessary structure and metadata with the optimization tool, or encrypt a PDF so it can only be opened with a password.
Frequently asked questions
What functions does the PDF tool offer?
You can merge PDF documents, extract individual pages, optimize PDF files to reduce their size, and protect PDFs with a password.
How do I merge several PDFs?
Upload the files you want and one click on Merge creates a single PDF document in the given order.
How do I extract certain pages?
Enter the pages as a range, for example 1,3,5-7. The selected pages are exported as a new PDF document.
What does PDF optimization do?
It cleans up unused objects and optimizes the internal data structure, which reduces the file size. This is especially helpful for PDFs from scanners or office programs.
How do I protect a PDF with a password?
Select the protect function, load your document and enter a password (at least 4 characters). Optionally you can restrict printing, copying or modifying. The protected PDF can only be opened with that password.
Is the encryption secure?
The PDF is secured with standard PDF encryption (RC4, 128 bit). Encryption runs entirely in your browser, the password never leaves your device.
Are my documents uploaded?
No. All operations run directly on your device and your files are not transmitted to our server, so your data stays on your device.
Is the tool free?
Yes. The PDF tool is free and needs neither an installation nor registration.
