About PDF Free

PDF Free is a free set of PDF and image tools run by an independent publisher. We built it because the most common file tasks (merging PDFs, shrinking photos, converting iPhone pictures) usually mean uploading private documents to a stranger's server. That should not be necessary.

What makes us different

• Every tool runs inside your browser. Your files are never uploaded or stored.
• No accounts, no watermarks and no daily limits.
• Clear guides that explain each tool and the best settings for common jobs.
• Available in English, Arabic, French, Spanish and German.

The technology

We build on well-tested open-source software: pdf-lib to create and edit PDFs, pdf.js (from Mozilla) to read and render PDFs, heic2any to open iPhone photos, and Tesseract for text recognition. We test every tool on real documents before release.

How the site is funded

PDF Free is free and supported by advertising. Ads never have access to your files.
