Choose by file outcome
Start with the output you need: editable Office files, smaller PDFs, organized page packets, signed copies, searchable scans, or protected documents.
All PDF tools
Pick the document job you need. Each page shows the supported file types, output format, processing mode, quality notes, and a clear next step.
Check limits first
Every tool page lists input formats, output formats, file size limits, quality risks, privacy notes, and related workflows before processing starts.
Follow the next step
Use the related workflow links on each page to move from conversion to compression, from page work to protection, or from image export to sharing checks.
Choose by processing mode
Some PDF jobs can be completed on your device. Others need server processing because they create images, compress file streams, or apply password protection.
Browser processing - 13 tools
Files stay on your device. Results are created in the current browser session.
Server processing - 4 tools

PDF tools directory FAQ
Why are PDF tools grouped by workflow?
Grouping by workflow helps you quickly separate conversion, page organization, editing, AI review, scanning, signing, and security tasks.
How do I find the right PDF tool?
Choose the page that matches both your input file and the output you need, then read the quality notes before processing.
Are PDF to Word and Word to PDF the same task?
No. PDF to Word is for editing existing PDFs; Word to PDF is for final sharing of a document created in Word.
Why do some tools mention a processing engine?
Some file tasks require LibreOffice, OCR, PDF rendering, AI, or encryption engines before live processing can be enabled.
Can I use the site map to find PDF pages?
Yes. The site map groups important tools, guides, and trust pages by topic.
Which tools should I use before sending a sensitive PDF?
Review Redact PDF, Protect PDF, Sign PDF, Flatten PDF, and the Security page before sharing contracts, records, IDs, or internal business documents.
Which tools help with scanned documents?
Use PDF Scanner to create a PDF from document photos, PDF OCR when scanned text must become searchable, and PDF to Word only after the text can be recognized.
Why does each converter have its own page?
Each converter has a different input, output, quality risk, and next step. A focused page is easier to evaluate than a generic converter with mixed instructions.
What should I check after any PDF tool finishes?
Open the output and review page order, text selection, image clarity, file size, signatures, form fields, and any sensitive information before sending it.
