Free PDF Tools

Use these PDF utilities for common document tasks such as combining files, extracting pages, converting PDF pages to images or text, rotating documents and preparing PDFs for sharing. Choose the specific operation you need and keep your workflow in one place.

What do you need to do?

Choose a task below, then open the tool that produces the output you need.

Arrange and combine pages

Choose the operation by what the output should contain. Merge joins files; split creates separate files; extract keeps selected pages in one file.

Finish a document

Complete the page order before adding numbering or signatures. Review the exported copy before sharing.

Convert documents and pages

Choose image output for a visual copy or text output for editing. Scans need OCR before text can be extracted.

Reduce file size and inspect metadata

Compression and metadata removal solve different problems. Compare output size and appearance without overwriting your source.

Access and recovery

Unlock requires a known password. Repair addresses recoverable damage, and cannot recreate missing document content.

Choose the right PDF tool

Start with the result you need rather than the file name alone. Use Merge PDF to combine documents, Split PDF to divide a document into page ranges, and Extract PDF Pages when you want one new PDF containing only selected pages. For page-level cleanup, Organize PDF can reorder, rotate, duplicate and remove pages visually.

Understand the limits before converting

PDF conversion is not always lossless. Text-based PDFs, scanned PDFs, forms, signatures, fonts and complex layouts behave differently. ToolVero explains practical limitations on individual tool pages instead of promising identical output for every file.
