PDF Tools – Merge, compress, convert and edit PDFs instantly.

Edit, compress, and convert PDFs instantly in your browser without uploading files. Our PDF tools let you merge, split, compress, convert, and edit PDF files directly in your browser — no uploads, no signups, and nothing sent to a server. Whether you need to combine multiple invoices into one document, shrink a large report so it fits an email attachment limit, or convert a PDF into editable text or images, every operation runs locally so your files stay completely private. The collection covers the full PDF workflow: organize pages, convert to and from images and text formats, add watermarks or page numbers, secure documents with passwords, remove restrictions, and optimize file sizes. Each tool is built around a familiar four-step flow — upload, edit, process, download — so you can move quickly even on complex jobs. If you've ever used premium desktop PDF software, you'll find the same capabilities here, free and instant. Pick the task you need below and get a clean output in seconds.

Frequently asked questions

Are these PDF tools really free?

Yes — every PDF tool on iwanttools is 100% free with no signup, no trial limits, and no watermarks added to your output.

Do my PDFs get uploaded to a server?

No. All PDF processing happens in your browser using pdf-lib and jspdf. Your files never leave your device, which is why these tools work even on confidential documents.

What's the maximum file size I can process?

There is no fixed limit, but very large PDFs (200MB+) may slow your browser. For best performance on huge files, use a desktop browser with plenty of free memory.

Can I edit a password-protected PDF?

You'll need to unlock it first using the PDF Unlock tool (you must know the password). Once unlocked, any other PDF tool will accept it.

Will compression reduce the quality of my PDF?

The compressor lets you choose a quality level. The default setting balances size and quality so most documents look identical at roughly half the file size.
