What is PDF Smaller?

PDF Smaller is a free toolkit of more than 25 PDF tools that run entirely in your web browser. Compress a file for email, merge several documents into one, split or reorder pages, convert to and from Word, Excel, PowerPoint and images, edit text, add a password, sign a contract, or run OCR on a scan — without installing software or creating an account.

What makes it different is where the work happens. Most online PDF tools upload your file to a server, process it there, and send it back. PDF Smaller does everything locally on your own device, so your documents never leave your computer. Private files — contracts, IDs, medical records, tax forms — stay private by design, not just by policy.

One toolkit, every common PDF job

Optimize: compress, resize, and repair PDFs.
Organize: merge, split, rotate, crop, and reorder pages.
Convert: PDF to Word, Excel, images, and back again with JPG to PDF and Word to PDF.
Secure & finalize: password-protect, unlock, watermark, sign, and OCR documents.

Everything is free — no sign-up, no daily caps, no watermarks. To see how the browser-based approach works, read How It Works or browse the guides in our Learning Center.
