PDF Tools

Choosing the right PDF tool

PDF Tools on FreeMicroTools handle the everyday PDF jobs: combining files, splitting or extracting pages, shrinking a PDF under an upload limit, turning pages, converting photos to a PDF, and adding page numbers or a watermark. Every PDF tool works inside your browser, so contracts, certificates and ID documents are never uploaded, and none adds a watermark of its own.

Choose by the result you need. To put several documents in one file, use Merge PDF; to send only some pages, use Split PDF. When a portal limits uploads to a size such as 100 KB, 200 KB or 1 MB, use Compress PDF with Exact size, which keeps text sharp and lowers picture quality only as far as needed. To send phone photos or scans as one document, use JPG to PDF first, or HEIC to PDF for iPhone photos still in HEIC, then compress the PDF if it is still too large. To print or share an ebook, use EPUB to PDF, which keeps the chapters as clickable bookmarks. To sign a contract or form, use Sign PDF, which adds a drawn, typed or uploaded signature, initials and the date.

For finished documents, Add Page Numbers and Add Watermark place text on the pages you pick. Rotate PDF fixes sideways scans, Crop PDF trims margins, Resize PDF Pages moves a document between A4 and Letter, and Organize PDF reorders, removes and turns pages. PDF to Text copies every word out, PDF to JPG saves pages as images, and PDF Form Filler types into a form’s fields. Protect PDF adds a password and limits; Unlock PDF removes them when you have the password. PDF to Word and Excel and reading scans are on the roadmap, because they need our own servers.

Questions

How do I reduce a PDF to under 200 KB?

Open Compress PDF, choose Exact size and pick 200 KB, then press Compress PDF. The tool keeps the best picture quality that fits under 200 KB, and text stays sharp because it is never turned into a picture.

Are my PDFs uploaded when I use these PDF tools?

No. Every PDF tool on FreeMicroTools works inside your browser, so documents never leave your device and nothing is stored.

Can I edit the text inside a PDF or convert it to Word?

Not yet. The PDF tools combine, split, compress, rotate, number and watermark PDFs. PDF to Word, PDF to Excel and reading text from scans are on the FreeMicroTools roadmap.
