Browse all PDF toolsWhich PDF tool should I use?
| Your task | Tool and what to check |
|---|---|
| Combine documents | Merge PDF Add your PDFs, arrange the files in the order you need, then check the combined document. |
| Keep only a page range | Split PDF Extract the pages needed for a submission instead of sending the whole document. |
| Make an attachment smaller | Compress PDF Compare the result with the original. Check small text and images before choosing a smaller version. |
| Fix page order | Re-arrange PDF pages Drag pages into position and review the result before downloading. |
| Remove unwanted pages | Delete PDF pages Use page numbers from the PDF itself, not printed page labels that may start later. |
| Send photos as one document | Images to PDF Arrange images first. Start with clear, upright photos so the PDF stays readable. |
| Save pages as pictures | PDF to images Export pages as PNG images when another app needs an image rather than a document. |
| Edit a text-based PDF | PDF to Word Convert to an editable DOCX, then review fonts, tables and spacing. Complex layouts may not match exactly. |
| Share a Word document as PDF | Word to PDF Review the preview. For layout-sensitive documents, use the exact-layout option and save as PDF in the browser print window. |
| Copy selectable text | Extract PDF text Use this for text-based PDFs. A scanned page may contain only a picture, not selectable text. |
| Require a password | Protect PDF Set a password and keep it somewhere safe. Share the password separately from the document. |
| Remove a known password | Unlock PDF Use only documents you are allowed to modify. This removes protection from a PDF you can open; it does not recover an unknown password. |
Three practical workflows
Submit several documents together
Merge the files, reorder any misplaced pages, then compress only if the result exceeds the receiving service’s attachment limit. Reopen the download and check every page.
Turn phone photos into a PDF
Take clear photos, rotate them upright, then add them to Images to PDF in reading order. This creates a document of pictures; it does not automatically make their text editable.
Edit an existing document
Try PDF to Word when you can select the text in the source PDF. For a scan, export its pages as images and use Image to text first. Review the recognized words; OCR is not an exact-layout Word conversion.
What “free” and “local” mean here
The PDF utilities listed above do not upload your document for processing or require an account. Large files can still exceed your browser’s available memory, especially on a phone. Keep the original and try a smaller page range if processing fails.
This applies to the local PDF tools, not every service on Toolsii. AI tools may send the input you choose to an AI service, and live collaboration rooms share content with participants. Local file processing is not a claim that website analytics are absent.
Check quality before replacing your original
- Check page count, reading order, fine print and images in the downloaded result.
- Review Word conversions carefully: complex columns, unusual fonts and tables can require adjustments.
- A drawn signature is a visible mark, not a certificate-based digital signature.
- PDF to grayscale currently turns pages into pictures, so text is no longer selectable.
- For protected files, use a password you know and only modify documents you have permission to change.
