Free PDF Toolkit — Merge, Split, Shrink and OCR
Drop PDFs and images together and every page becomes a card you can drag, rotate or remove. Build one PDF, split it, shrink it for e-mail, export pages as pictures or make a scan searchable — all inside this browser tab.
The everyday PDF jobs, in one place.
Mix & organize
PDF, JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF on one board. Drag any page anywhere, rotate it, remove it, sort by file or reverse the order, and pull selected pages out as their own PDF.
Merge & split
Join several PDFs into one in the order you set, or split one into a file per page.
Images ↔ PDF
Turn photos or scans into a PDF, or export a PDF's pages as JPG or PNG at 72, 150 or 300 DPI.
Shrink for e-mail
Pick Email, Balanced or High detail, or type a target size in MB. Pages are re-drawn as pictures, so the copy is small — and its text is no longer selectable.
Searchable scans (OCR)
Make a scanned PDF searchable and copyable. English, up to 20 pages a run, read on your own machine.
Watermark & stamp
Add watermark text, a logo stamp, page numbers and a document title across every page.
Place & mark up
Put new text and images on a page, or pin numbered comments that are stamped into the PDF with a summary page.
Stays on your machine
A client contract or an unreleased deck is opened, rearranged and saved in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
Drop, arrange, save.
Drop your files
Open the PDF Toolkit and drop PDFs and images together. Every page shows as a card on one board, in the order you added them.
Pick a job
Merge, split, shrink, export images, OCR or watermark. Drag pages into place, rotate the sideways ones and remove the ones you do not need.
Save the result
Build once and save the new PDF — up to 60 pages an export. Saving needs a free account; your original files are never changed.
Private by design, honest about the gaps.
No upload, ever
The engines run in the tab. The only thing fetched is the OCR engine, once, from a CDN — the engine, not your file.
No ads, no task caps
Work without signing up. A free account saves as many PDFs as you need, with no daily count and no watermark of ours.
What it won't do
No Word, PowerPoint or Excel conversion, no editing of the existing text, no e-signatures, passwords or PDF/A. If you need those, a full PDF suite is the better pick.

Compared 29 July 2026, each figure read on the vendor’s own page. iLovePDF prices by region (from India: ₹500/mo · ₹3,400/yr), so your figure varies by country and tax. A “—” means we could not confirm that row on the vendor’s page, not that it is missing. Both are broader PDF suites than this tool; neither is affiliated with DigiLakshya.
