Free PDF Tools

Every common PDF job — merging, splitting, compressing, converting, rotating, signing — done entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, there's no sign-up, and there are no daily limits or file-size caps.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to use an online tool for a confidential PDF?

It depends entirely on where the processing happens. Most online PDF sites upload your file to their server, run the job there, and hold a copy at least temporarily. Docexp's PDF tools run inside your browser tab — the merge, split, or compression happens on your own device, so a contract or bank statement never leaves it.

Why did my PDF barely shrink when I compressed it?

Because it was already mostly text. Text takes almost no space in a PDF — the bulk is nearly always images. A scanned document compresses dramatically; a text-only report barely at all, because there is little there to remove.

Can I compress a PDF to an exact size, like under 500 KB?

Yes — 'Compress PDF to exact size (KB)' aims at a specific number rather than just 'smaller', which is what portals with hard limits actually require. One trade-off to know: heavy PDF compression re-renders pages as images, so the text in the output stops being selectable.

Is there a limit on how many PDFs I can merge, or how big they can be?

No file-count limit, no size cap, no daily quota. Those limits exist on other sites to ration their servers; the merge here runs on your machine, so the only real ceiling is your device's memory.
