How it works

There is no server processing your files — everything happens on your own device.

  1. Pick a tool. Choose from the nine tools above — merge, split, compress, convert or resize.
  2. Drop your files in. Select files or drag & drop them onto the tool. They are read directly by your browser.
  3. Download the result. Processing runs locally with open-source libraries (pdf-lib, pdf.js, canvas). The finished file downloads straight to your device.

🔒 Private by design

Frequently asked questions

Do my files get uploaded to a server?

No. Every tool on Free PDF Toolkit runs entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device, which makes the tools fast and GDPR-friendly.

Is Free PDF Toolkit really free?

Yes. All the tools are completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks, no file-count limits and no hidden premium tier.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There are no accounts at all — open a tool, drop your files in, and download the result.

Which browsers are supported?

Any modern browser: Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari on desktop and mobile. The tools work offline once the page and its libraries have loaded.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no server-side limit because there is no server. The practical limit is your device's memory — very large PDFs (hundreds of MB) may be slow on older phones.

How do I choose the right PDF tool?

Start from the job: merge or split to change the document's structure, compress to shrink it, reorder or delete pages to fix the contents, and sign or redact to finish it. Every tool page explains its own steps, and the tool grid above links them all.

Can I use these tools on my phone?

Yes. The tools run in any modern mobile browser — drop a file, use the on-screen buttons, and download the result. Nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded.

What happens to my files after I close the tab?

Nothing is stored anywhere. Your files were never uploaded, so closing the tab leaves no copy behind on any server, and your original file on your device is never modified.
