PDF Tools: 4 Free Online Tools
The PDF tools cover the most common paperwork tasks: combining files, shrinking a PDF for email, turning photos into a PDF, signing a document and extracting text with OCR.
Because PDFs often contain personal or business information, these tools process files in your browser instead of uploading them to a conversion server.
Who it is for: Students, job applicants, office workers and freelancers who handle forms and scanned documents.

Sign PDF and Extract Text with OCR
Draw a signature on a PDF, run Tesseract OCR to extract text, and add a SHA-256 fingerprint to check the file has not changed. Runs in your browser.
Good for: freelancers, office workers.
Privacy, processing and limits
- Processing runs on your device, so very large files may be slow on older phones. Compression savings vary: scanned or image-heavy PDFs shrink more than text-only ones.
- The PDF signing tool draws a signature image and a file fingerprint; it is not a certificate-based legal e-signature service.
