Seven PDF tools that never see your file.

Your file is opened by your browser, changed on your device, and saved back to your disk. There is no upload step because there is nowhere to upload to.

Compress Smaller for email, with the real before and after. Merge Several files into one, in the order you set. Split Pull out a page range, or cut one file into parts. Images to PDF Phone photos and scans into one document. Rotate Fix sideways scans without re-encoding them. Reorder Move or drop pages on a grid of real pages. OCR Read the text off a scan, free and unlimited. Android app Six of these seven, on a phone. In testing, not yet on Play.

↓ what it costs, and why there is no upload bar

Pro — not yet

$14.99once

paid once, not a subscription · covers both the web tools and the Android app

A PDF tool gets used a few times a year. Everyone else rents theirs by the month; this is bought once and kept.

  • Batch processing across every tool
  • Searchable-PDF output from OCR
  • Advanced compression — target a file size or a dpi
  • Password protect and password remove

Not on sale yet, on either surface.

All seven tools stay free and unlimited, one file at a time, with no account — and that does not change when Pro arrives. What Pro adds is capability, not quantity: doing many files at once, and getting a searchable file out of OCR rather than text to read. If sign-in ever appears here it will be so a Pro purchase is recognised, never a condition of using these seven.

payment placeholder — Paddle will handle the one-time payment as merchant of record when Pro opens on the web. No card details are entered on pdf-iq pages.

Why there is no upload bar

The tools are JavaScript, shipped with the page like a stylesheet. Once loaded they run against a file your browser holds in memory. Only OCR fetches anything further, and only the first time you use a language.

Test it in ten seconds

Load a tool, disconnect from the internet, then use it. It still works. Nothing that needs a server survives that test.

Nothing to delete

Other tools promise to erase your file within an hour. Yours was never on our disk, so there is no promise for us to keep or break.
