Built differently: files stay in your hands by default

On most PDF websites, your document is uploaded to a company server, processed there, and kept for a while before deletion. Here, the tools run as code inside your own browser tab. You can even turn off your internet after this page loads and every tool still works. Because the work happens on your device, very large files may be slow or run out of memory on a phone - a computer handles those best. The one exception is yours to choose: Compress PDF offers an optional Fast server for very large files - uploaded over an encrypted connection and automatically deleted when the job completes.

Nothing is uploaded

Your PDF is read and rewritten by your own device. No server ever sees it, stores it, or scans it.

Fast, with no queue

No upload wait, no processing line and no daily cap. There are no artificial limits - processing runs on your device, so very big files work best on a computer and finish as fast as your device can work.

No accounts, ever

There is nothing to join and no email to hand over. Open a tool, drop your file, download the result.

How it works

Step 1

Choose a tool

Pick what you want to do from the cards above, or search for it.

Step 2

Drop your file

Drag a file in, or tap to browse. Adjust the simple options if you like.

Step 3

Download the result

Your device does the work in seconds - or, for a very large PDF, the optional Fast server does it and deletes the file right after. One big download button, and you are done.

Drag and drop your file here

Your file stays on this device. Nothing is uploaded.

Tap the X on any page to leave it out of the new file. Use the arrows to change the page order. Pages left in full colour are the ones that will be kept.

Drag on the page to draw a black box. Draw as many as you need, on as many pages as you need.

Unlock a PDF - remove its password

Remove password protection from a PDF when you know its current password. Type the password, and this tool saves an unlocked copy that opens without one, and it also clears print and copy restrictions. Only use it on files you own or have permission to unlock. Unlike most tools on this site, this one runs on our Fast server: your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on the server, and deleted automatically - the original as soon as processing finishes, and the result right after you download it.

Common questions

Do I need the current password?

Yes. You must supply the file's current password for it to be unlocked. Without the correct password, the tool cannot remove the protection.

Does unlocking clear print and copy restrictions?

Yes. The unlocked copy clears print and copy restrictions as well as the password needed to open the file.

Are my files uploaded?

Yes, for this tool. Unlocking runs on our Fast server, not in your browser. Your file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on the server, and deleted automatically - the original as soon as processing finishes, and the result right after you download it.

Can I unlock a PDF that is not mine?

Only unlock files you own or have permission to unlock. The tool asks for the current password as a basic check, but having a password does not by itself give you the right to remove protection from someone else's file.

What if I have forgotten the password?

Then this tool cannot help - it needs the current password to remove the protection, and it does not guess or recover passwords. Your file is deleted from the Fast server as soon as processing finishes, whether it succeeds or not.
