6 quick PDF utilities — merge, split, compress, convert and rotate documents
The PDF jobs that interrupt a workday are almost never complicated — combine three scans into one file, pull a single page out of a long report, shrink a document so it slips under an email limit. They are just annoying enough that people upload sensitive files to random websites to get them done. These six tools handle the common PDF tasks directly in your browser instead.
Every tool processes your document locally with JavaScript — the file is never uploaded to a server. That matters more for PDFs than almost any other format, because they so often hold contracts, statements, tax forms and signed paperwork. Here there is no upload, no size cap, no watermark stamped across your pages and no account to create.
Merge PDF and Split PDF handle the everyday reshuffling of pages, Compress PDF brings an oversized file back under a size limit, and the conversion pair moves between PDF and images in both directions — PDF to JPG for pulling a page out as a picture, JPG to PDF for wrapping photos or scans into a single document. Rotate PDF fixes pages that were scanned sideways. For heavy editing or e-signatures you will still want dedicated software; for the daily merge-split-compress routine, these cover it.

What Each Tool Does
Every tool below opens instantly, needs no account, and processes your data locally in your browser. Here is what each one is for:
Merge PDF
Combine several PDFs into one file in the order you choose, ideal for bundling scans and reports. Open the Merge PDF tool →
Split PDF
Pull individual pages or page ranges out of a PDF and save them as separate documents. Open the Split PDF tool →
Compress PDF
Reduce a PDF's file size so it fits under email and upload limits, with control over quality. Open the Compress PDF tool →
PDF to JPG
Convert each page of a PDF into a JPG image for easy sharing, previews or embedding. Open the PDF to JPG tool →
JPG to PDF
Turn one or more JPG images into a single PDF document, perfect for scanned pages and receipts. Open the JPG to PDF tool →
Rotate PDF
Rotate some or all pages of a PDF to fix sideways or upside-down scans. Open the Rotate PDF tool →
How to Choose the Right Tool
When you have several files to bring together, Merge PDF combines them in your chosen order; Split PDF does the reverse, extracting pages or ranges into new documents. If a PDF is too large to email, Compress PDF trims its embedded images while keeping text crisp. The conversion pair moves between formats — PDF to JPG turns pages into pictures for previews and posts, while JPG to PDF wraps photos and scans into a single document. Rotate PDF is the quick fix for pages that came in sideways or upside-down.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?
No — every tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so contracts, statements and other sensitive documents never leave your device.
Is there a file-size or page limit?
There is no artificial cap. The practical limit is your device's memory, so very large PDFs may process more slowly on older phones.
Will compressing a PDF ruin the text?
No — text stays sharp and selectable. Compress PDF mainly reduces the size of embedded images, which is where most of the weight lives.
Can I reorder pages when merging PDFs?
Yes — Merge PDF lets you arrange your files in the exact order you want before combining them into one document.
