Guide
Free PDF tools for every document task
pdfruk brings merge, split, edit, convert, and security tools together in one privacy-first toolkit that runs in your browser.
Merge PDF files into one document
Combining separate PDFs is one of the most common document tasks — whether you are bundling invoices, merging scanned pages, or building a single report from multiple chapters. pdfruk's merge PDF tool lets you drag and drop files, reorder them visually, and download a single combined PDF in seconds. Because merging runs entirely in your browser, there is no upload queue and no risk of your files sitting on a remote server.
Split PDF pages by range or selection
Need just a few pages from a large file? The split PDF tool extracts individual pages or page ranges so you can share only what matters. Select pages with a visual picker or enter a range like 1–5, then download the result instantly. Splitting is processed locally, which makes it a practical choice for contracts, bank statements, and other sensitive documents you would rather not upload anywhere.
Edit PDFs with text, drawings, and annotations
Small changes should not require expensive desktop software. With edit PDF, you can add text boxes, highlight passages, draw freehand marks, and place shapes directly on your document. The editor loads your file in the browser and applies changes on your device, so drafts and internal notes stay private. Pair editing with sign PDF or watermark tools when you need to finalise a document before sharing.
Convert between PDF and images
pdfruk includes conversion tools for everyday format changes. Turn JPG or PNG photos into a PDF with images to PDF, or export individual pages as high-quality images using PDF to images. Conversions run client-side for fast results without creating an account. You can also rotate pages, delete and reorder sheets, crop margins, and add page numbers — useful when preparing documents for print or email.
Privacy-first PDF tools for confidential work
Most pdfruk tools process files locally in your browser using modern web technology. That means your PDFs are not sent to our servers for merge, split, edit, sign, or convert tasks. For teams handling HR records, legal paperwork, medical forms, or financial statements, local processing removes a major privacy concern found in traditional online PDF services. pdfruk is free to use, works on desktop and mobile browsers, and does not require registration — open a tool, drop your file, and download the result.
Frequently asked questions
Are pdfruk PDF tools really free?
Yes. Every tool on pdfruk is completely free with no hidden fees, watermarks, or page limits. You can merge, split, edit, and convert PDFs without paying for a subscription or creating an account.
Do my PDF files get uploaded to a server?
For all tools, no. Merge, split, rotate, convert, edit, sign, watermark, page-number, protect, and unlock tools all run entirely in your browser using client-side processing. Your files stay on your device and are never sent to our servers.
Is pdfruk safe for confidential documents?
Because most processing happens locally in your browser, sensitive documents never leave your computer during merge, split, edit, protect, unlock, or conversion tasks. This makes pdfruk a strong choice for private contracts, financial records, medical forms, and other confidential PDFs.
What devices and browsers are supported?
pdfruk works on any modern browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge — on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. No software installation is needed.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Simply open a tool, drop your file, and download the result. There is no sign-up, email verification, or login required.
How do I merge multiple PDF files?
Open the merge PDF tool, drag and drop two or more PDF files into the upload area, reorder them if needed, then click merge. The combined document downloads to your device within seconds.
Can I split a PDF into separate pages?
Yes. Use the split PDF tool to extract individual pages or a page range from any document. You can pick pages visually or enter a range such as 3–8.
What is the difference between pdfruk and other PDF websites?
Many online PDF services upload your files to their servers before processing them. pdfruk takes a privacy-first approach: most tools run locally in your browser so your documents stay on your device.
