Why Use Online PDF Tools?
PDF (Portable Document Format) is the universal standard for sharing documents. Created by Adobe in 1993, PDFs preserve formatting across all devices and operating systems. But working with PDFs — merging files, extracting pages, reducing size — traditionally required expensive software like Adobe Acrobat.
Our online PDF tools provide professional PDF manipulation capabilities for free. Unlike desktop software, there's nothing to install. Unlike cloud-based services, your documents never leave your device. We use advanced JavaScript libraries to process PDFs entirely in your browser.
The Security Advantage
PDFs often contain sensitive information — contracts, financial statements, personal records, confidential business documents. Most online PDF tools require uploading your files to remote servers. This creates security risks: data breaches, unauthorized access, or documents being used to train AI models without consent.
AllTools processes everything locally. Your PDF never leaves your computer's memory. When you close the browser tab, all data is cleared. This makes our tools safe for handling confidential documents, HIPAA-sensitive medical records, or legally privileged materials.

Understanding PDF Operations
Merging PDFs
PDF merging combines multiple documents into a single file while preserving all content, formatting, hyperlinks, and bookmarks. Our tool lets you drag and drop files to reorder them before merging. The resulting PDF maintains the quality of the originals.
Document1.pdf (10 pages) + Document2.pdf (5 pages) + Document3.pdf (8 pages) → Combined.pdf (23 pages)
Splitting PDFs
PDF splitting extracts specific pages from a document. You can extract a range of pages (e.g., pages 5-10), individual pages (e.g., 1, 3, 7), or split at regular intervals (every 5 pages). This is useful for extracting chapters, separating merged documents, or removing unnecessary pages.
- • Extract pages 1-5 → Chapter1.pdf
- • Extract pages 1, 10, 15 → Summary.pdf
- • Split every 10 pages → Part1.pdf, Part2.pdf, Part3.pdf
Compressing PDFs
PDF compression reduces file size by optimizing images, removing redundant data, and applying efficient encoding. A scanned document might go from 20MB to 2MB with minimal visible quality loss. This is essential for email attachments, web uploads, and storage management.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are my PDFs uploaded to your servers?
No. All PDF processing happens in your browser using JavaScript libraries (pdf-lib, PDF.js). Your files never leave your device. We don't have servers to receive uploads, and we don't store any document data. This makes our tools safe for confidential documents.
Is there a file size or page limit?
There's no enforced limit, but very large PDFs (100MB+) may be slow depending on your device's memory. For best performance, we recommend PDFs under 50MB. If you have a powerful computer with plenty of RAM, larger files will work fine.
Will compression reduce document quality?
Text remains sharp at all compression levels. Images within PDFs are recompressed, which can reduce quality at high compression settings. For documents with important images, use medium compression. For text-heavy documents, high compression is usually fine.
Can I process password-protected PDFs?
Currently, our tools work with unprotected PDFs. If your PDF requires a password to open, you'll need to remove the protection first using the original software that created it, or use a dedicated PDF password remover.
What happens to hyperlinks and bookmarks?
When merging or splitting PDFs, internal hyperlinks and bookmarks are preserved when possible. Cross-document links may break if the target page isn't included in the output. For best results, include all related pages when splitting documents with internal links.
Can I process multiple PDFs at once?
Yes! The merger accepts unlimited files. The compressor and converter support batch processing — select multiple files and process them all at once. Results can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP archive.
