Work with PDFs
You have PDF files that need combining, splitting, reordering, rotating, or you need to turn a handful of scanned images or screenshots into a single PDF — without installing desktop software or uploading a document (which may contain sensitive information) to an unknown third-party server.
Who this is for: Anyone handling everyday PDF admin: combining scanned pages, preparing a document for submission, removing a page you don't want to share, or converting phone photos of paperwork into one file.
Recommended order
- 1.JPG to PDF
Start here if you're working from photos or scanned images (JPG) instead of an existing PDF — this turns them into PDF pages.
- 2.PNG to PDF
Same idea for PNG images, such as screenshots.
- 3.Merge PDF
Combine multiple PDFs (or the ones you just created above) into a single file, in the order you choose.
- 4.PDF Page Rotator
Fix pages that were scanned sideways or upside down.
- 5.PDF Page Deleter
Remove specific pages you don't want in the final document — a blank scanned page, or a page with information you don't want to share.
- 6.Split PDF
Going the other way: break one PDF into several smaller files, by page range.
- 7.PDF Metadata Viewer
Check a PDF's title, author, and creation date metadata before sharing it — useful for confirming you're sending the right version, or checking what information is embedded.
Limitations to know upfront
- These tools handle page-level operations (merge, split, rotate, delete, metadata, image-to-PDF) — they don't edit the actual text or images inside a PDF page.
- Password-protected or encrypted PDFs generally can't be processed until they're unlocked first, since the browser can't read their contents.
- Very large PDFs (hundreds of pages or large embedded images) use more of your device's memory since processing happens locally rather than on a server built for it.
Common mistakes
- Merging PDFs in the wrong order — the merge tool combines files in exactly the order you add them, so double-check the sequence before downloading.
- Forgetting that deleting the last remaining page of a PDF isn't possible — a PDF always needs at least one page, so "delete everything" isn't a valid result.
Privacy
All of these tools process your PDF and image files entirely in your browser using the pdf-lib library — files are never uploaded to a server at any point, which matters if your document contains anything sensitive.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is there a file size limit?
- There's no artificial limit set by the tool, but very large files are constrained by your device's available memory rather than a server-side cap.
- Can I edit the actual text inside a PDF?
- Not with these tools — they work at the page level (merge, split, rotate, delete, convert), not on the text or images inside a page.
