It’s a focused set of free, browser-based PDF tools designed to be accurate, quick, and safe. You can convert, merge, split, compress, rotate, and export PDFs — no sign-up required.

What we offer

• PDF → Word (DOCX): turn PDFs into editable documents while preserving layout.
• Word (DOCX) → PDF: make a pixel-perfect PDF from your DOCX.
• Merge PDFs: combine multiple files in order.
• Split PDF: extract a page range or separate sections.

• PDF → Image: render pages to PNG/JPG at a chosen DPI.
