Current & upcoming PDF tools

• PDF Compressor – reduce file size in your browser.
• PDF Merge – combine multiple PDFs into one document.
• PDF Conversions – PDF ⇄ Word, PDF → images, etc. (coming soon).

Heavy conversion tools will stay free to use with fair-usage limits if needed. The aim is to protect the server while keeping core features open for everyone.

No PDFs added yet. Add at least two files to enable merging.

How PDF merge works

Add 2–10 PDF files using the drop area or file picker.
Use the ▲ / ▼ buttons to adjust the order of the files.
Click “Merge PDFs & Download” to combine them into one document.

Merging is done entirely in your browser using client-side code. Your PDFs are not uploaded to any server. Very large or heavily encrypted PDFs may not work in all browsers.

PDF Conversions (coming soon)

Popular conversions like PDF to Word, Word to PDF, and PDF to images are planned. These heavier tools will stay free with light fair-usage limits if needed to protect the server.

More PDF utilities

Future tools could include PDF split, rotate pages, and simple page removal – keeping everything as lightweight and privacy-friendly as possible.

About these free PDF tools

The PDF compressor and merge tools on this page run entirely in your browser using client-side libraries. Your files are not uploaded to a remote server, which keeps your documents private and reduces the risk of data leaks.

Compression results vary depending on the content – image-heavy or scanned PDFs usually shrink more than text-based ones. Merging simply combines all pages from each selected PDF in the order you choose.

As NoPaywall.tools grows, more advanced PDF utilities and conversions will be added here, always with the same philosophy: fast, simple, and paywall-free.
