All 16 free PDF tools

No account, no sign-up wall, and no watermark on anything. Fourteen of these run entirely inside your browser — your file is never uploaded. The two that cannot are marked, and say so on their own pages.

Passwords

These two are the exception. Browsers cannot perform real PDF encryption, so both send your file to our server, which encrypts or decrypts it and sends it straight back. Nothing is kept: the temporary copy is deleted as soon as the result is returned, and the password is never written down.

Limits

The free tools take a file of up to 25 MB and three files in one session. Nothing is stored, so closing the tab ends the session — which is also why there is nothing to delete afterwards. An account raises both limits and keeps your documents between sessions.
