Best Free Online PDF Tools

Working with PDF files often means doing one specific task: combining documents, removing pages, reducing file size, converting a PDF to another format, or turning images and Word documents into PDFs. PickSutra provides free online tools for these common PDF workflows.

This guide helps you choose the right tool instead of trying several unrelated PDF utilities.

PDF Tools at a Glance

Choose a tool based on what you want to accomplish with your document:

• Merge PDF

  Combine two or more PDF files into a single document. Useful when you need to bring reports, forms or scanned documents together.

• Split PDF

  Separate pages from a PDF or split a document into smaller files when you only need specific sections.

• Compress PDF

  Reduce PDF file size when a document is too large to upload, email or share.

• PDF to Word

  Convert a PDF into an editable Word document when you need to work with the document's text and formatting.

• PDF to JPG

  Convert PDF pages into JPG images for easier sharing, previews and image-based workflows.

• JPG to PDF

  Turn JPG images into a PDF document, useful for scanned documents, receipts, forms and image collections.

• Word to PDF

  Convert Word documents to PDF for a format that is easier to share, print and preserve.

• PDF Editor

  Make changes to PDF documents directly when you need more than simple conversion or file organization.

• Rotate PDF

  Correct the orientation of PDF pages when scanned or imported pages appear sideways or upside down.

How to Choose the Right PDF Tool

Need to combine multiple PDFs?

Use Merge PDF when several PDF files need to become one document. This is useful for combining reports, applications, invoices or scanned documents.

Need only certain pages?

Use Split PDF when a large document needs to be separated into smaller documents or specific pages need to be extracted.

Is the PDF too large?

Start with Compress PDF when a file is difficult to upload, email or share because of its size.

Need to edit PDF content?

Use the PDF Editor when you need to make changes to a PDF rather than simply convert or organize it.

Convert Between PDF and Other Formats

PickSutra also provides tools for common document and image conversions:

• PDF to Word for editable document workflows.
• Word to PDF for creating shareable PDF documents from Word files.
• PDF to JPG for turning PDF pages into images.
• JPG to PDF for creating PDF documents from images.

Common PDF Workflows

Prepare a document for sharing

If a document contains multiple files, merge them first and then compress the resulting PDF if its size is too large for the service where you need to upload it.

Turn scanned images into a PDF

Convert JPG images into a PDF when you have scanned pages or photos that need to be submitted as one document.

Extract information from a large document

Split a PDF when you only need selected pages or want to separate a large document into smaller files.
