Complete PDF Guide 2026 — Merge, Split, Compress, Convert and More
PDF is the most universally used document format — but working with PDFs used to require expensive software. In 2026, every PDF task can be done free in your browser. Here is a complete reference guide.
Merging PDFs
Combining multiple PDFs into one is the most common PDF task. The PDF Merger lets you upload multiple files, drag to reorder, and download a single combined PDF. No page or file number limits.
Splitting PDFs
Extract specific pages or split a PDF into individual page files using the PDF Splitter. Enter page ranges like "1-3, 7, 10-15" to extract exactly what you need.
Compressing PDFs
The PDF Compressor reduces file size by rasterising pages at reduced quality. Image-heavy PDFs typically shrink by 60–80%. Text-only PDFs compress less (10–20%) since text is already efficient.
Converting PDFs
- PDF to JPG: Extract each page as a separate image
- PDF to Text: Extract all text content as a .txt file
- JPG to PDF: Convert images to PDF documents
- Images to PDF: Combine multiple images into one PDF
Organising PDF pages
The PDF Organizer shows thumbnail previews of every page. Drag to reorder, rotate individual pages, and download the reorganised document. Far better than guessing page numbers.
Security
- Password Protect PDF: Add encryption before sharing sensitive documents
- Unlock PDF: Remove password from a PDF you own

Which PDF tool should I use first?
If you have a large PDF you need to email, start with the PDF Compressor. If you need to combine documents, use the PDF Merger. If you need to extract a specific section, use the PDF Splitter.
