All PDF tools
Every tool on EddiesPDF, grouped by task, with a short note on what it does to your file. All tools except Request signature process files in your browser; the files are not uploaded.
Merge & organize
3 toolsBack to topCombine files and change the order of pages.
Alternate & mix
Builds one PDF by taking pages from each file in turn: A, B, A, B. Each file has a Take count (pages per turn), a Reverse order switch and its own page range, and leftover pages from a longer file go at the end. The usual job is joining front and back scans, where the backs come out last to first. Runs in your browser.
Merge PDF
Joins two or more PDFs into one file in the order you set, with an optional page range per file. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and BMP images can be added and become one page each. More options controls bookmarks, form fields, a table of contents page and blank pages for double-sided printing. Files are merged in your browser.
Organize pages
Shows every page as a thumbnail so you can drag pages into a new order and rotate, duplicate or delete them. Blank pages and pages from other PDFs can be inserted; each source file gets a letter badge. Undo and redo cover every change, and the file stays in your browser.
Split
6 toolsBack to topDivide one PDF into several files, or copy pages out of it.
Extract pages
Copies the pages you select into a new PDF and leaves the original unchanged. Select pages by clicking thumbnails or typing ranges such as 1-3, 5, 8-. Output is one PDF, one file per page or one file per range, and several files download as a ZIP. Processed in your browser.
Split PDF
Cuts one PDF into several files. The modes are pick split points, every N pages, after given pages, page ranges, every page, and odd and even. A live preview colors each page by the file it will go into, and bookmarks stay with their pages. Runs in your browser; several files download as a ZIP.
Split by bookmarks
Uses the document's existing outline to write one file per chapter or section, named after its bookmark. The bookmark level decides whether to split at chapters only or at sections too, and a text filter limits it to matching titles. A PDF without bookmarks can't be split this way, so use Split by text or Split PDF. Processed in your browser.
Split in half
Cuts each page of a two-page scan into two pages, left and right or top and bottom. The cut line can be moved for off-center spreads, and covers and other single pages can be left whole. It handles right-to-left books and booklet scans, keeps text selectable and runs in your browser.
Split by size
Splits a PDF into parts that each stay under a size you set, such as 1, 5, 10 or 25 MB, for email and upload limits. Pages are never cut, so a single page that is already over the limit gets its own file and is flagged. Bookmarks can be kept in each part. Processed in your browser.
Split by text
Splits a combined PDF, such as a batch of invoices, using the text on the pages. It starts a new file on each page that contains a phrase, or whenever the text inside a box you draw changes, and can name each file after that text. It needs a text layer, so run OCR on scans first. Runs in your browser.
Edit & sign
6 toolsBack to topChange content on the page, fill in forms and collect signatures.
Edit PDF
The full editor. Add new text or change existing text, and place images, signatures, stamps, drawings, shapes, links, highlights and form fields on the page. The page list rotates, reorders, inserts and deletes pages, and Find and replace changes a word throughout the file. Editing happens in your browser.
Fill & sign
For completing a form. Type into the PDF's own fillable fields, or place text, dates, checkmarks and a drawn, typed or uploaded signature anywhere on a page. Saved signatures stay on this device. Flatten form locks the answers into the page; the file is processed in your browser.
Create forms
Turns an ordinary PDF into a fillable form with standard PDF fields: text, multiline, checkbox, radio, drop-down and signature. Each field has a name, default value and required and read-only switches, and the Tab order can be set. Detect converts blank lines and empty boxes into fields. Built in your browser.
Delete pages
Removes the pages you mark and leaves the rest unchanged. Mark pages by clicking thumbnails, Shift-clicking a range or typing numbers such as 1-3, 5, 8-. Bookmarks that point to a deleted page are dropped, and at least one page must remain. Processed in your browser.
Request signature
Sends a PDF to one or more people to sign. Each recipient is a signer, validator or witness with their own signature, initials, text and date fields, and gets an email with a private link. Unlike the other tools, this one stores the PDF on our server so recipients can open it. Track signatures shows the status of each request.
Compare PDF
Compares the text of two versions word by word, page 1 against page 1 and so on. Added words are shown in green, removed words in red, and each change is listed with its page number. Case, punctuation and line breaks can be ignored. It reads the text layer, so OCR scans first; both files stay in your browser.
Compress
1 toolsBack to topReduce file size for email and upload limits.
Compress PDF
Reduces file size mainly by re-saving and scaling down images; text and vector graphics are left as they are. Quality is Medium (JPEG 65%), Good (80%, the default) or Best (100%), and image resolution runs from 72 to 720 ppi, 144 ppi by default. More options can convert images to grayscale, drop embedded media and remove metadata. If the file can't be made smaller, the original is kept.
Security
5 toolsBack to topControl who can open a file and what can be changed or seen.
Protect PDF
Encrypts a PDF, with AES 256-bit by default, so it needs a password to open. Printing, copying, editing, form filling and page changes can also be restricted, with an optional permissions password to lift those limits later. Some readers ignore permission settings. The file and the password stay in your browser.
Unlock PDF
Removes the open password and the print, copy and edit restrictions from a PDF you are allowed to open. It needs the open or owner password, unless the file only has restrictions. Decryption happens in your browser, so the password is not sent anywhere.
Watermark
Stamps text such as CONFIDENTIAL, or a PNG or JPG image, onto the pages. Set the position (center, diagonal, a corner or custom), opacity, rotation, page range and whether it sits over or behind the content. Settings can be saved as templates in this browser. Processed in your browser.
Flatten PDF
Makes form field values, comments, stamps and signatures part of the page so they can't be edited. Flatten everything turns each page into an image at 75 to 220 dpi, which removes selectable text and can make the file larger. The lighter modes flatten only fields, or fields and annotations, and keep text selectable. Runs in your browser.
Redact PDF
Removes the text and images under boxes you draw. Each page with a box is rebuilt as an image with the box burned in, so the hidden content can't be selected, searched or recovered; other pages are not changed. Boxes are black or white and can repeat on every page. Boxes can be drawn on the first 30 pages, and the file is processed in your browser.
Convert to PDF
3 toolsBack to topCreate a PDF from images, Word documents or HTML.
HTML to PDF
Converts an .html file, pasted HTML code or web addresses (from sites that allow it) to PDF, with selectable text. Page size is one long page by default, or A4, A3, A2, Letter or Legal, with orientation, margin and viewport width settings. Scripts are not run and relative links in an uploaded file can't load, so self-contained HTML works best. Runs in your browser.
JPG to PDF
Puts JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF or BMP images into a PDF, one image per page, in the order you set. Pages can match each image exactly or use a paper size such as A4 or Letter, with orientation and margin. Phone photos are turned upright automatically, and the output is one PDF or one per image. Processed in your browser.
Word to PDF
Converts a .docx file to PDF with headings, text styles, pictures, tables, lists and page breaks, and the text stays selectable. Page size, orientation and margins follow the document unless you change them. Headers, footers, text boxes and custom fonts are not converted, and the results screen flags anything that was skipped. Converted in your browser.
Convert from PDF
8 toolsBack to topTurn a PDF into images, text or Office files.
PDF to Excel
Detects the tables in a PDF and writes them to an .xlsx or CSV file, with numbers stored as numbers. Each page gets its own sheet by default, or all tables can go on one sheet, with or without the text between them. If no table is found, the text is written line by line. Processed in your browser.
PDF to JPG
Renders pages as JPG, PNG or TIFF images at 75 to 300 dpi (150 dpi by default), in color, grayscale or black and white. Preview the images, drop the ones you don't need and download one or all of them as a ZIP. Very large pages are rendered at a lower resolution to stay within browser limits. Runs in your browser.
PDF to PowerPoint
Creates a .pptx file with one slide per page. Editable text puts the text in text boxes over a background made from the page's pictures and shapes; Exact look makes each slide a picture of the page. Page pictures are 2000 or 3200 px. Processed in your browser.
PDF to text
Extracts the PDF's existing text layer as plain text, with columns and tables kept in reading order. Options add page separators, keep line breaks or join lines into paragraphs, and set LF or CRLF line endings. Copy the result or download a .txt file. Scans have no text layer, so run OCR first.
PDF to Word
Converts a PDF to an editable .docx file. Headings and paragraphs are detected, tables stay tables, multi-column pages are put in reading order, and pictures are included unless you untick Include images. A page range converts only part of the file. Runs in your browser.
PDF to Markdown
Converts a PDF to a .md file. Headings, bulleted and numbered lists, bold and italic text and simple tables are detected, and large text becomes # headings unless you turn that off. The result appears in a text box for checking before you download it. Processed in your browser.
PDF to HTML
Converts a PDF to a web page. Looks the same keeps each page's exact look, with real selectable text over a picture of the page's graphics; Clean web page rebuilds the content with headings, paragraphs, lists, tables and pictures that fit any screen. Download a ZIP with index.html, style.css and the images, or one .html file. Converted in your browser.
PDF to CSS
Reads the fonts, text sizes, weights, colors, line height, heading styles, page size and margins of a PDF and writes them as a CSS file: variables, base styles and one class per text style, in px, rem or pt. Shows the colors and styles before you download. Scans need OCR first. Runs in your browser.
Scan
2 toolsBack to topStraighten scanned pages and make their text searchable.
Deskew PDF
Measures the tilt of each scanned page and rotates the content back to level. Manual angle mode rotates by an exact angle, up to 45 degrees either way, for pages without text lines to measure. Pages are not converted to images. Deskew before OCR for better recognition; processed in your browser.
OCR PDF
Recognizes the text on scanned pages and adds it as an invisible text layer, so the PDF looks the same but can be searched, selected and copied. It supports 39 languages, a second language per document, and PDF or .txt output. Pages that already have text are skipped by default. Recognition runs in your browser; the language data downloads the first time a language is used.
Other
15 toolsBack to topPage layout, numbering, metadata and file housekeeping.
Bates numbering
Stamps a sequential Bates label on every page of one or more PDFs, and the count continues from one file to the next. Prefix, suffix, digits, start number, position, font and color are adjustable. Increase margins shrinks the content slightly so the label doesn't cover text. Processed in your browser; several files download as a ZIP.
Create bookmarks
Adds, renames, nests and reorders bookmarks, the clickable outline PDF viewers show in their side panel. Existing bookmarks load for editing, and the ones you leave alone keep their styling and actions. The file can also ask viewers to open the outline on launch, expanded or collapsed, though some viewers ignore this. Runs in your browser.
Crop PDF
Trims margins, scan borders or white space. The automatic modes find white margins for you; otherwise drag a crop box or type exact margins for all pages, page by page, or for odd and even pages. The cut area is hidden rather than deleted by default, and Also shrink page size changes the page size itself. Processed in your browser.
Edit metadata
Edits the document properties stored in a PDF: title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, dates and custom fields. Remove all metadata clears every property and the XMP metadata in one step. Page content is not changed. Runs in your browser.
Extract images
Saves the images embedded in a PDF as separate files at their stored resolution. Most JPEG photos are written out exactly as stored, with no re-compression; other images, including CMYK JPEGs, are saved as lossless PNG. Images under 20 pixels are skipped by default, and several images download as a ZIP. Processed in your browser.
Flip pages
Mirrors pages horizontally or vertically, on every page or a selection such as 1-3 or even. Bookmarks, form fields, rotation and crop settings are kept, and links and comments move to their mirrored position. Used for iron-on transfers and reversed scans; runs in your browser.
Grayscale
Converts a color PDF to grayscale. Text stays selectable and searchable, and links, bookmarks and form fields are kept. Options make all text solid black, keep photos in color or re-encode them as JPEG to reduce the size. Processed in your browser.
Header & footer
Adds text to the left, center and right of the header and footer on each page. The placeholders {page}, {total}, {date} and {filename} are filled in per page, so Page {page} of {total} works. Font, size, color, number style, page range, start number and distance from the edge are adjustable. Runs in your browser.
N-up
Places 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 16 or 32 pages on each sheet, for handouts or to save paper. Pages fill the grid row by row or column by column, with a right-to-left option. Sheet size, orientation, margins and page borders are adjustable, and a preview shows the first sheet. Processed in your browser.
Page numbers
Adds page numbers in formats such as 1, Roman numerals, 2 / 45 or Page 2 of 45, in the header, middle or footer, left, center or right. A page range such as 3-last leaves a cover unnumbered, and the first number can be set. Font, size and color are adjustable. Runs in your browser.
Rename PDF
Renames one or more PDFs from a pattern of tags such as [TEXT], [TITLE], [DATE] and [FILENUMBER] plus your own text. [TEXT] reads a chosen line, or an area you draw, on a chosen page. Invalid characters are removed and duplicate names get a number. File contents aren't changed (a protected PDF is saved without its password), and the files are read in your browser.
Repair PDF
Rebuilds the structure of a PDF that won't open or shows errors. A clean repair keeps text, links and form fields; pages whose content can't be read are redrawn from what still displays, so their text may no longer be selectable. A summary lists the pages that were rebuilt or left out. Processed in your browser.
Resize PDF
Changes the page size, for example from Letter to A4, using sizes from A0 to A6, Legal, Tabloid and others, or a custom size. Content is scaled to fit or kept at its size and centered. Add margins mode instead grows each page by white space on each side. Text, links and bookmarks are kept; runs in your browser.
Rotate PDF
Rotates pages left, right or 180° and saves the rotation in the file. It applies to all, odd, even or selected pages, or to one page from its thumbnail. Reset all removes every rotation. Processed in your browser.
Delete annotations
Removes markup such as highlights, strikeouts, drawings, comments, stamps, links and file attachments. Annotations are counted by type so you can choose which to remove, on all pages or some; pop-up notes go with their annotation. Form fields are kept unless you tick them. Runs in your browser.
Automate
1 toolsBack to topRun several actions on a file in one pass.
Workflows
Runs several actions on one PDF in order: grayscale, rotate 90°, watermark, compress and password protect, each with its own settings. Password protect always runs last. Workflows can be saved in this browser or exported as .json; passwords are never saved. The grayscale step redraws pages as images, so use the Grayscale tool to keep text selectable.
