PDF Tools
The PDF Tools suite lets you work with PDF documents entirely in the browser without uploading any file to a server. Inspect metadata such as page count, title, creator, and file size. Extract embedded text content from each page to copy or paste elsewhere. The merge mode concatenates text bodies from multiple PDFs into a single consolidated output. Built on the open-source PDF.js library from Mozilla, all parsing happens locally — your sensitive documents never leave your device.
How to Use
To use the PDF Tools, simply open the tool page and interact with the controls in the panel above. The interactive panel handles input and produces instant results entirely in your browser — no signup, no upload. Use the Copy button when you want to transfer the output to your clipboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the tool upload my PDF?
No. All processing happens in your browser using Mozilla PDF.js. Nothing is uploaded.
Why does the tool need internet on first use?
It downloads the PDF.js runtime (~300 KB) from a CDN. After that, browser cache serves subsequent uses.
Can I merge PDF files into a real PDF?
Merging here combines extracted text bodies, not binary PDF streams.
Does it work on encrypted PDFs?
Password-protected PDFs cannot be parsed without the password. Standard PDFs and most restricted documents work fine.
Can I extract images?
No. The current version focuses on text. Image extraction via PDF.js requires additional rendering logic.
