Free PDF Tools That Work in Your Browser

PDF Hut is a small set of focused tools for everyday PDF jobs: joining files, pulling out pages, shrinking a document, turning pages into images and back, extracting text and stamping a watermark. Everything runs inside this browser tab – your documents are processed on your own device and never uploaded to our server.

There is no account and no sign-up. Each tool page explains step by step how to use it, how it works and what it cannot do.

Choose a tool

• Merge PDFJoin two or more PDFs into one file, in the order you add them. Pages are copied as they are, so text and images keep their quality.
• Split PDFKeep only the pages you need: type ranges like 1-3, 5 and download them as a new PDF. The original stays untouched.
• Compress PDFRe-save a PDF in a more compact structure without touching its images, and see instantly whether it got smaller.
• PDF to JPGRender each page as a JPG or PNG image at 72, 144 or 216 DPI for slides, chats or image-only upload forms.
• JPG to PDFPut photos, scans or screenshots into one PDF, one image per page. JPEGs keep their exact original quality.
• PDF to TextCopy all the text out of a digital PDF into a plain .txt file. Scanned pages need OCR, which this tool does not do.
• Text to PDFPaste notes or a letter and get a clean A4 PDF with selectable text, automatic line wrapping and page breaks.
• Add WatermarkStamp DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL or a recipient's name across every page, with adjustable size, opacity, angle and color.

Which tool do I need?

• "My attachment is too big to email." Try Compress PDF, then Split PDF to send only the pages that matter.
• "I only need a few pages of a long document." Use Split PDF.
• "I have several PDFs that belong together." Merge PDF joins them in the order you add them.
• "I photographed receipts or pages with my phone." JPG to PDF turns the photos into one document.
• "I need a page as a picture for slides or a chat." Use PDF to JPG.
• "I want to copy the text out." PDF to Text works for digital PDFs; scanned pages need an OCR tool.
• "I need a printable page from some notes." Use Text to PDF.
• "I am sharing a draft or a copy of my ID." Add Watermark labels every page.

Why the processing happens in your browser

Most PDF jobs don't need a server. PDF Hut uses two open-source libraries – pdf-lib for creating and editing PDFs, and Mozilla's PDF.js for reading and rendering them. Your file is read into the memory of the tab, processed there and handed back as a download: no waiting for uploads, no copies on someone else's computer, nothing left behind when you close the tab.

The trade-offs: very large files are limited by your device's memory, and there is no OCR for scans and no opening of password-protected files. The site is free because it shows ads, as explained in our Privacy Policy.
