Which PDF tool fits the job

PDF tasks sound alike but produce different files, and picking the wrong one costs a second round trip. Combining several documents into a single file is a merge. Pulling pages out of one document is either a split or an extraction, and the difference is what you end up with.

Splitting downloads each page you select as its own separate file, which suits sending one signed page to one person. Extracting collects the pages and ranges you name into a single new PDF and keeps them in the order you typed, which suits building a short excerpt from a long report.

Rotation is a separate concern. If a scan came in sideways, rotating the affected pages fixes the orientation without disturbing the page order or re-exporting the whole document.

Getting a large PDF under an upload limit

Most oversized PDFs are oversized for one reason: they contain scanned page images rather than text. A ten-page contract typed in a word processor is usually a few hundred kilobytes, while the same contract scanned at high resolution can run to tens of megabytes. Government portals, job application forms, and email attachments routinely cap out below that.

Compression targets exactly that case. It re-encodes the page content at a lower size and shows the original and processed sizes side by side, so you can confirm the result actually fits before you submit it rather than discovering the problem at the upload step.

When a document only needs to travel as pictures, converting pages to PNG or JPG is often smaller still, and it sidesteps recipients who cannot open PDFs at all.

Why these tools keep your documents on your device

PDFs are the format people use for the documents they least want to hand over: signed agreements, bank statements, medical results, passport scans, payslips. The usual online converter asks you to upload all of it to a server you know nothing about, and the file's fate after processing is a matter of trust.

Every PDF tool here runs in the page you already have open. Your file is read by JavaScript in the browser tab, processed there, and written back out as a download. It is never transmitted, which means there is no server copy to retain, leak, or delete.

A practical consequence worth knowing: because the work happens on your own hardware, a very large document is limited by your device's memory rather than by an upload quota, and it keeps working with the network disconnected. The rest of the site is built the same way, which matters if the step after a PDF is an image, an export, or a calculation.
