The everyday PDF jobs, without uploading the file

Marking, parent letters and scanned worksheets are handled in the browser. Nothing is uploaded, so nothing is stored on our servers and no one else can reach it — closing the tab removes it.

The core of it

Merge, and images to PDF

Join up to 50 PDFs in the order you add them, or turn photographs and scans into one PDF with a page per image.

More in this story

  • Extract and organise pages

    Pull chosen pages into a new file, or keep, delete, rotate and reverse pages in place. Ranges are typed the way you say them — 1-3, 5, or 9- for everything from page nine.

  • Notes on top of a page

    Add a note, a highlight or a drawn mark over the page. This does NOT edit the text already in the PDF, and the tool says so beside the field rather than in the small print.

  • Compression that states its cost

    Light keeps the text selectable and saves modestly. Strong re-renders pages as images — much smaller, but the text can no longer be selected, searched or read aloud. If rasterising would make the file bigger, the original is returned instead.

  • Convert Word, PDF and images

    Word to PDF, PDF to Word, and PDF pages to PNG or JPEG. Text, headings, lists and tables carry across. This is not a lossless conversion: inline bold and italic, images, columns, headers and footers are not reconstructed, and pages are re-flowed so numbering can differ from Word.

  • Scans are read by OCR, or named — never silently emptied

    A page with no text layer is a scan. Turn OCR on and PDF to Word reads those pages on your device, in English, Spanish, Arabic or Simplified Chinese; leave it off and it reports exactly which pages they are instead of handing back a blank document. OCR is a guess at the glyphs in an image, not a reading of stored text, so every page it recovers is labelled with its confidence and the uncertain ones are listed for you to check against the original.
