Our mission
PDF files are everywhere – in schools, offices, government services and small businesses. Yet simple jobs like combining two files, making a document smaller or turning photos into a PDF often mean installing software, creating accounts or paying for a subscription. We believe these tasks should be quick, free and available to anyone with a web browser.
What we offer
PDF App Tools includes 30 tools organised into five groups: image to PDF, PDF conversion, PDF editing, PDF management and PDF utilities. Every tool has its own page with clear instructions, a step-by-step guide and answers to common questions. You can explore everything from the All PDF Tools page.
Our principles
- Free for everyone. No paid plans, no trials and no mandatory sign-up.
- Privacy by design. We aim to collect as little data as possible and to explain clearly how files are handled.
- Simple and accessible. Plain language, a clean interface and a design that works on phones, tablets and desktops.
- Honest about what works. Each tool page states clearly whether the tool is available yet.
Where we are today
We are launching in phases. Twelve tools already work today and run entirely in your browser: JPG to PDF, PNG to PDF, PDF to JPG, PDF to PNG, Merge PDF, Split PDF, Compress PDF, Rotate PDF, Delete PDF Pages, Add Watermark, Add Page Numbers and Protect PDF. The remaining tools are being added in upcoming releases. If you have suggestions, we would love to hear them on our contact page.
How the website is funded
To keep every tool free, PDF App Tools may display advertising. Ads are always clearly labelled and kept separate from the tools themselves.
