Why use our PDF tools?
Built to do everything the big PDF sites do — without the accounts, limits, or privacy trade-offs.
No account required
No sign-up, no login, no email. Open a tool and start working on your PDF straight away.
No limits
No daily caps, no watermarks, no paywall. Use every tool as often as you like, for free.
Private by design
Files are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is ever uploaded to our servers.
Fast & offline-friendly
Processing runs on your device, so there's no upload wait — and it keeps working offline once loaded.
A complete, private PDF toolkit in your browser.
PDFs are everywhere — contracts, invoices, résumés, scanned forms, lecture notes — and sooner or later you need to change one. The trouble is that most online PDF tools ask you to create an account, cap how many files you can process each day, stamp watermarks on your work, or quietly upload your documents to a server you don't control. CrispToolHub takes a different approach: every tool here is a free PDF tool that runs entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device. There's nothing to install and no sign-up.
Need to make a file smaller? The free PDF compressor reduces PDF size with a quality you choose — a lossless option that keeps text selectable, or stronger levels that dramatically shrink scanned documents. Working with several files? The PDF merger lets you combine PDFs online for free and drag pages into the right order, while the PDF splitter can split a PDF online into ranges or extract just the pages you need.
Conversion is just as easy. The PDF to Word converter turns a PDF into an editable .docx for free, and Word to PDF does the reverse. Designers and students can use PDF to image to export pages as JPG or PNG, or image to PDF to bundle photos and screenshots into one document. Each free PDF converter works without uploading a thing.
Security, page order, and everyday fixes
For sensitive documents, the PDF password protect tool adds real encryption so only people with the password can open the file. If you already know a file's password and want to remove it, the PDF password remover unlocks it while preserving the text and layout — a private alternative to any PDF password remover that uploads your file. And when a scan comes in sideways, the PDF rotator turns every page or just the ones you pick.
Together these ten tools cover the jobs people reach for an online PDF editor to do, with none of the usual friction. Because they're all PDF tools with no upload, they're fast — there's no waiting for a large file to travel to a server and back — and genuinely private. Pick a tool above to get started; your documents stay on your computer, every step of the way. Weighing up the options? See how these stack up as an iLovePDF alternative, a Smallpdf alternative and a free Adobe Acrobat alternative.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I compress a PDF without losing quality?
Use the PDF compressor and choose the Low (best quality) level, which losslessly re-saves the file by optimizing its internal structure and keeps text fully selectable. For scanned or image-heavy PDFs, the Medium and High levels shrink files much further by re-encoding page images at a lower resolution. Pick the level that balances the file size you need against the visual quality you want.
Can I merge PDF files for free online?
Yes. The PDF merger combines any number of PDFs into a single document at no cost, with no account and no file limit. Drag the files into the order you want, then download the merged PDF. Because everything happens in your browser, your documents are never uploaded to a server.
How do I convert PDF to Word?
Open the PDF to Word tool, drop in your PDF, and download a .docx file you can edit in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice. The converter extracts the text layer of the PDF. It works best with text-based PDFs; scanned documents that are really images will need an OCR tool first.
Is it safe to use online PDF tools?
It depends on the tool. Many online PDF services upload your files to their servers, which can be a privacy risk for sensitive documents. Every CrispToolHub PDF tool runs 100% in your browser using JavaScript — your files never leave your device, are never uploaded, and nothing is stored. That makes them a genuinely private way to work with confidential PDFs.
How do I split a PDF into multiple files?
Use the PDF splitter. Upload your PDF and choose to extract every page as its own file, split by custom page ranges like 1-3, 4-6, or pull out specific pages such as 1, 3, 5-8 into one new document. When the result is more than one file, they're bundled into a convenient .zip download.
Can I remove a password from a PDF?
Yes, as long as you know the password. The PDF unlock tool decrypts a protected PDF using the password you provide and saves a copy without the password, keeping the text and layout intact. We can only remove a password you already have — we don't and can't bypass encryption on files you can't open.
How do I convert images to PDF?
Open the Image to PDF tool and drop in your JPG, PNG, or WEBP images. Drag them into the order you want, choose a page size (A4, Letter, or auto-fit to the image), an orientation, and a margin, then download a single PDF containing all your images, one per page.
What is the maximum file size for PDF tools?
Each PDF file can be up to 50MB, and images up to 20MB. Because everything is processed in your browser using your device's memory, very large files on older phones may be slow — but on a typical computer the 50MB limit comfortably covers most documents. You'll see a clear warning if a file is too large.
Do I need to create an account to use PDF tools?
No. There is no account, no sign-up, and no email required for any CrispToolHub PDF tool. Just open the tool you need and use it immediately. Your preferences, like your last compression level, are saved locally in your own browser, not on a server.
How do I rotate pages in a PDF?
Use the PDF rotate tool. Upload your PDF to see thumbnails of every page, then rotate all pages at once or click individual pages to select just the ones you want to turn. Choose 90° clockwise, 90° counter-clockwise, or 180°, apply, and download the corrected PDF.
