Why use this tool

Every PDF task, one place

Merge, split, compress, convert, sign, and more — no need to juggle separate apps for each job.

Private by default

Most tools process your file entirely in the browser — it's never uploaded. When a conversion needs the server, the file is deleted within the hour.

Works on any device

Runs in the browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android — nothing to install, nothing to trust but the tab.

Fast by design

No queues and no desktop app to wait on — most jobs finish in a few seconds, right where you are.

Convert to and from any format

Move between PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, and HTML — output stays true to your original formatting.

Free, always

Every tool here is free to use, with no watermarks, page limits, or forced trial period.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, you can position them in the headers or footers, aligned to the left, center, or right margins.

Yes, setting a custom starting integer is incredibly useful when numbering a chapter that fits into a larger book.

Yes, you can define a page range (like 2-end) so the numbering skips the cover sheets entirely.

You can use standard Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3) or formal Roman numerals (i, ii, iii).

The numbers are stamped over the existing content; ensure your document has adequate bottom margins to accommodate them.
