Word to PDF
Convert Word documents into PDF.
High-fidelity Office conversion needs a document engine (e.g. LibreOffice headless) that cannot run in a browser-only static site.
Your documents, made simpler
Merge, split, compress and convert documents with a clean, simple workflow. Every working tool runs entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device.
PDFNova toolkit
22 tools work today, in your browser. 16 more are clearly labelled “Coming soon” — they have no upload workflow and no fake buttons until they genuinely work.
Combine multiple PDFs into one document, in your order.
Split a PDF by page ranges, or one file per page.
Reorder, rotate and remove pages in a single flow.
Rotate all pages or selected pages by 90°, 180° or 270°.
Delete pages you no longer need from a PDF.
Save selected pages as a new PDF.
Re-save a PDF with object streams and stripped metadata to reduce size.
Rebuild pages in grayscale for cheaper printing.
Turn JPG images into a single PDF, one image per page.
Turn PNG images into a single PDF, one image per page.
Convert plain text (.txt) into a searchable PDF.
Convert PDF pages into JPG images.
Export PDF pages as PNG images.
Extract selectable text from a PDF into a .txt file.
Place a text watermark on all or selected PDF pages.
Number pages with a consistent style and start number.
Add a line of text at a chosen position on a page.
Adjust the visible page boundaries with margin crops.
Draw or type a signature and place it on a chosen page.
Open a password-protected PDF you own and save an unencrypted copy.
View and edit a PDF's title, author, subject and keywords.
Flatten form fields into static page content.
Convert Word documents into PDF.
High-fidelity Office conversion needs a document engine (e.g. LibreOffice headless) that cannot run in a browser-only static site.
Prepare spreadsheets for PDF sharing.
High-fidelity spreadsheet conversion needs a backend document engine (e.g. LibreOffice headless).
Convert presentations into PDF format.
High-fidelity presentation conversion needs a backend document engine (e.g. LibreOffice headless).
Convert a web page or HTML file into PDF.
Faithful HTML rendering needs a headless browser on a server; browser-only rendering cannot match it.
Create an editable Word document from a PDF.
Accurate layout-preserving PDF-to-Word conversion needs a specialised engine; pdf-lib/pdf.js cannot reconstruct editable documents.
Extract tables from a PDF into a spreadsheet.
Reliable table detection and spreadsheet reconstruction needs a specialised engine.
Turn PDF pages into an editable presentation.
Editable slide reconstruction needs a specialised engine; image-only export is not an equivalent.
Capture a PDF page as a screenshot image.
Covered in practice by PDF to JPG/PNG; a dedicated screenshot tool adds no distinct, honest function yet.
Turn scanned images into a searchable PDF.
Searchable scans need OCR, which needs a backend OCR engine (e.g. Tesseract on a server) or a large in-browser model.
Try to recover readable PDF structure.
True repair needs a tolerant parser/rebuilder (e.g. qpdf/Ghostscript on a server); pdf-lib cannot repair corrupt files.
Full optimisation beyond re-saving: image downsampling and font subsetting.
Beyond the honest Compress PDF re-save, real optimisation needs image/font processing on a server.
Add password protection to a PDF.
pdf-lib cannot save password-encrypted PDFs. This needs a server tool (e.g. qpdf) or a browser encryption library, verified before launch.
Permanently remove text and images from a PDF.
True redaction must remove content from content streams, not just paint black boxes over it. Painting over text leaves it extractable, so no fake version is offered.
Add highlights, notes and drawings to a PDF.
Needs a full annotation editor UI and annotation serialisation; planned after the core tools are validated.
Fill in PDF form fields in the browser.
Needs a form-field renderer/editor; pdf-lib can fill known fields programmatically but not via a general form UI yet.
Edit text and images directly inside a PDF.
True in-place text editing is a large editor project; the available Add Text / Watermark tools cover the honest subset.
Simple workflow
A straightforward experience from choosing a tool to downloading your finished file.
Find the PDF action that matches your task.
Add your file and apply the selected operation — in your browser.
Check the result, then download your processed file.
