Most people don't need "a PDF app" - they need one specific thing done to one specific file, right now, without installing software or creating unnecessary friction. Here's a quick reference for the PDF tasks that come up the most, and the tool for each one.
Converting to and from PDF
- PDF to Word - turn a PDF into an editable Word document, including scanned PDFs via OCR.
- Word to PDF - the reverse: a print-accurate PDF from a .doc or .docx file.
- PDF to Excel - extract real, usable tables instead of retyping numbers by hand.
- PDF to PowerPoint - get an editable slide deck back from a PDF export.
- JPG to PDF and PDF to JPG - combine photos into one PDF, or split a PDF's pages back out as images.
- Web Page to PDF - save any URL as a permanent, print-ready document.
Organizing pages
- Merge PDFs - combine several files into one, in the order you choose.
- Split a PDF - pull specific pages out into their own file(s).
- Rotate and Reorder Pages - fix sideways scans or rearrange a document, both always free.
- Compress - shrink a large PDF for email or upload without wrecking image quality.
Editing, protecting, and signing
- Edit PDF - add text, images, or highlights directly on the page in your browser.
- Password Protect and Remove Password - lock a sensitive PDF down, or unlock one you already have the password for.
- Sign PDF - skip the print-sign-scan routine entirely.
- Searchable PDF (OCR) - make a scanned document's text selectable and searchable.
Bulk and AI-powered tools
- Bulk Rename and PDF Filenames to Excel - handle dozens of files at once instead of one at a time.
- AI PDF Chat - ask a document questions directly instead of reading the whole thing to find one answer.
Every tool here runs in the browser with no software to install, and uploaded files are automatically deleted a short time after processing - so there's no reason to hesitate before using one for something sensitive, like an ID document or a signed contract.
