Why PDF tools matter

PDF workflows often sit between images, documents, and uploads. This category keeps the reliable conversion tools together so users can move between formats quickly.

How PDF tools fit together

PDF work splits into three jobs: changing which pages a document contains, changing how much space it takes, and turning pages into images. Each of those is a different operation with different limits, and knowing which limit applies saves a lot of wasted effort.

The one that surprises people most is compression. A PDF made of text and vector content has a lot of structural overhead that can be packed down safely. A PDF made of scanned pages is almost entirely image data, and the only way to shrink it meaningfully is to reduce the resolution of those images, which visibly degrades them. Lossless compression cannot promise a target size, and any tool that promises one for a scan is quietly lowering quality.

Everything here runs in your browser, which matters more for PDFs than for most formats. Contracts, invoices, medical records, and application documents are exactly the files people are asked to upload to unknown servers. These tools never transmit them.

Which PDF tool do you need?

  • You have several PDFs that should be one document

    Combines files in the order you set. All pages of each file are included, and nothing is recompressed.

    Merge PDF
  • You only need certain pages

    Extracts the pages or ranges you name into one new PDF. Run it twice if you need two separate files.

    Split PDF
  • The file is too big to email or upload

    Lossless structural optimisation. Effective on office exports, close to useless on scans, and it cannot target a size.

    Compress PDF
  • You need a page as an image for a slide or a post

    Renders pages to JPG at a width you choose. Smaller files, better for pages containing photographs.

    PDF to JPG
  • You need a page as a sharp image with clean lines

    Lossless PNG output, better for diagrams and text. The background is rendered white, never transparent.

    PDF to PNG
  • You have photos or scans that should become a PDF

    One image per page, with A4, Letter, or image-sized pages, orientation, fit or fill, and margins.

    JPG to PDF

What each PDF tool can and cannot do

Stated plainly, because most disappointment with PDF tools comes from a limit nobody mentioned.

Common questions about PDF tools

Why did compressing my PDF barely change the size?

Because it is mostly images, most likely a scan. The compression here is lossless and works on document structure, not on image data. Shrinking a scan substantially requires lowering image resolution, which visibly reduces quality.

Can I compress a PDF to an exact size like 500 KB?

Not with a lossless tool, and you should be sceptical of any tool that promises it for a scanned document. Hitting a fixed target means degrading the images until the number is reached.

How do I split a PDF into several separate files?

Run the split once per part, naming a different page range each time. There is no single action that explodes a document into one file per page.

Should I convert PDF pages to JPG or PNG?

JPG for pages that are mostly photographs, since the files are far smaller. PNG for diagrams, screenshots, and text, where the lossless output keeps lines and letters sharp.

Will the text still be searchable after converting to an image?

No. Converting a page to JPG or PNG turns everything into pixels, so the text can no longer be selected, searched, or copied. Keep the original PDF if you need that.

Are my documents uploaded to a server?

No. All PDF processing happens in your browser and the files never leave your device, which is the point when the document is a contract, an invoice, or a personal record.

Do these tools work with password-protected PDFs?

A file with only permission restrictions can usually be read. A PDF that requires a password to open cannot be processed, because the content stays encrypted until it is supplied.
