What this roundup covers

Everyone needs PDF tools — for job applications, college forms, client documents, and office submissions. But most PDF tools upload your files to a server, impose daily limits, or add watermarks. This guide covers the best free PDF tools that work without any of those restrictions.

PDF Compress — Reduce File Size for Portal Upload Limits

The PDF Compress tool reduces large PDFs down to 100KB, 200KB, or 500KB — ideal for government job portals, scholarship forms, and bank submissions. Everything processes instantly in the browser with no server upload.

Why it matters

Missing a portal's strict size limit makes the form submission fail. The right compression tool solves this problem permanently.

PDF Split — Extract Specific Pages or Divide a PDF Into Parts

The PDF Split tool extracts specific pages from any PDF — for example just pages 3 to 7, or every page as a separate file. Useful when you only need to submit a few pages of a large document.

Why it matters

Sharing a complete document can be inappropriate when only specific pages are needed. Splitting maintains both privacy and professionalism.

Word to PDF — Convert DOCX Into a Professional PDF

The Word to PDF converter turns DOCX files into PDFs without breaking the formatting. Essential for resumes, cover letters, and business documents, because a PDF preserves layout even when the recipient doesn't have Word.

Why it matters

PDF is the universal format — it looks the same on every device. A Word file can render differently elsewhere, which is why PDF is always preferred for job applications.

PDF Protect and Unlock — Add or Remove Passwords Instantly

Use the PDF Protect tool to add a password to sensitive documents and prevent unauthorized access. Use the PDF Unlock tool to unlock your own password-protected documents when you need to edit them. Both tools run in the browser — files never leave your device.

Why it matters

When sharing sensitive documents like salary slips, agreements, and personal files, password protection is the professional and safe approach.
