Why PDF Free is different
- Your files never leave your device. Most online converters upload your documents to a server. PDF Free processes everything inside your browser, so passports, contracts and private photos stay private.
- No sign-up, no watermark, no limits. Use every tool as often as you like.
- Fast on any device. Works on phones, tablets and computers, in light or dark mode, in 5 languages.
- iPhone photos supported. HEIC images work in every image tool and in JPG to PDF.
- Built on trusted open-source engines: pdf-lib and pdf.js for PDFs, and Tesseract for text recognition.
Which tool do I need?
- A file is too big to email or upload → Compress PDF or Compress Image.
- A website rejects your iPhone photo → Convert Image (HEIC to JPG).
- You need one PDF from several files → Merge PDF, or JPG to PDF for photos.
- You need only some pages → Split PDF.
- You need the words from a picture → Image to Text.
Frequently asked questions
Is PDF Free really free?
Yes. All tools are free with no sign-up. The site is supported by advertising.
How can it work without uploading?
Modern browsers are powerful enough to read, edit and create PDFs and images. When you click a button, the tool's code runs on your own device and creates the result there.
Do the tools work offline?
After a page has loaded once, most tools keep working even if your connection drops. The OCR tool needs a connection the first time to download each language.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit. Very large files depend on the memory of your device; phones handle files up to roughly 100–200 MB comfortably.
