Are my PDF files stored on the server?

No. Files are processed in memory or in a temporary folder that is deleted immediately after the operation completes. Only anonymous usage counters are kept — never file names or contents.

Is PDF Tool really free?

Yes, completely free: no registration, no accounts, no watermarks added to your documents, no page limits beyond a fair-use rate limit.

How does PDF password protection work?

Your PDF is encrypted with AES-256. The password is used only for the operation itself and is never stored anywhere.

What is the maximum file size?

Up to 200 MB per request, which is enough for most scanned documents and books.

Free online PDF toolbox — no signup, no files stored

PDF Tool is a fast, free set of utilities for everyday PDF work. Everything runs over an encrypted connection, files are processed on the fly and are never saved on the server — merge, split, compress, rotate, watermark, convert and protect your documents without registration, watermark-free and without page limits.

Merge PDF files

Combine multiple PDFs into a single document. Drag files in, arrange the order, and download the merged result in seconds.

Split a PDF

Extract specific pages (e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-10), save every page as a separate file, or cut a document into equal parts.

Compress a PDF

Shrink scanned documents and image-heavy files with four quality presets, from maximum compression for e-mail to print-ready quality.

Rotate pages

Fix upside-down or sideways scans — rotate the whole document or only the pages you choose by 90°, 180° or 270°.

Images to PDF and back

Turn JPG, PNG or WebP photos into a single PDF, or export every PDF page as a high-resolution PNG/JPG image.

Watermark a PDF

Stamp text like CONFIDENTIAL or a copyright notice across every page — diagonal, centered or as a footer, with adjustable opacity.

Password-protect a PDF

Encrypt a document with AES-256, or remove an existing password. Passwords are used once and never stored.

Is it private?

Yes. Files live only for the duration of the operation. The counters below are the only thing we keep — plain numbers, nothing about your documents.
