PDF tools: the ultimate guide

PDFs are everywhere because they look the same on every device. But once a PDF exists, editing it feels hard — unless you have the right small tool for each job.

To combine documents, use a merge tool; to pull out a few pages, use split. Rotate fixes sideways scans, and page numbers or a watermark add the finishing touches. To shrink a large file, a compressor rebuilds it more efficiently.

Need a PDF from images? Convert JPG or PNG straight to PDF. Going the other way — turning a document into an image, or extracting the text — is just as quick with the right tool.

The important part: none of this needs to be uploaded to a server. Every PDF tool on FreeGenDoc runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device — free, with no signup and no watermark.
