PDF Tools

Extract PDF text in your browser, with layout mode, metadata and search.

Combine JPEG, PNG and WebP images into one PDF with page size, margin and orientation.

Render every PDF page to a PNG or JPEG at the resolution you choose, then save them all.

Shrink a PDF by redrawing its pages at a lower resolution, with the size shown before you save.

Join PDFs into one in any order, keeping the text and vectors of every page intact.

Rebuild a PDF as an editable .docx, with its paragraphs joined back up and its headings restored.

Lay a .docx out as a PDF here in the browser — headings, bold, lists, tables and pictures included.

Rebuild a table out of a PDF's glyph positions and export it as .xlsx or CSV.

Read a scanned PDF and write the words back in as an invisible layer, so it can be searched.

Black out a PDF so the text underneath is destroyed rather than covered, with find-and-cover across every page.

Pick the pages you want by looking at them, turn the sideways ones the right way up, and save one file or one per page.

Stamp a watermark or a logo across every page and number them, drawn as real content rather than a picture.

Put an AES-256 password on a PDF, or take a known one off, with the real qpdf running inside the tab.

Everything for getting a picture into the shape, size and format something else will accept — compression, resizing, cropping, conversion between formats and background removal.

Tools for text and the formats it gets trapped inside — counting and analysing writing, converting between data formats, and pulling readable text back out of pictures.

The technical side of getting a page indexed and shared properly: the tags that decide how it appears in results, the structured data behind rich results, and the files crawlers read before anything else.

The small utilities that come up mid-debug — reading a token, testing a pattern, generating identifiers, tidying a query — without pasting anything sensitive into a stranger's server.

Tools for the part of posting that is fiddly rather than creative — hitting each platform's dimensions, staying inside its character limits, and getting a thumbnail or a still that actually works.

Tools that make something from nothing much: a QR code, a password, a favicon set, a colour scheme, a font pairing, or speech from a block of text.

Everyday arithmetic that is easy to get slightly wrong: percentage change and reverse percentages, an exact age, a loan repayment, a unit conversion, a meeting time across three countries.

Video and audio handled in the browser itself, with ffmpeg compiled to WebAssembly — so a large file is never uploaded, and there is no queue behind other people's jobs.
