What is the maximum file size?

There is no fixed file size limit for most tools. Very large files may take longer to process depending on your device and browser. For best results with very large PDFs, try compressing the file first using our free Compress PDF tool.

Our tools support PDF, DOCX, JPG, and PNG. Merge PDF accepts multiple PDF files. Compress PDF reduces PDF size. Rotate PDF fixes page orientation. Split PDF divides PDFs into separate files. Delete PDF Pages removes specific pages. Watermark PDF adds text to every page. PDF to Word converts PDF to DOCX. Word to PDF converts DOCX to PDF. Image to PDF converts JPG and PNG images to PDF. PDF to Image converts PDF pages to JPG or PNG.

Question 7

How do I rotate PDF pages?

Accepted Answer

Open the Rotate PDF tool, upload your PDF file, choose your rotation angle — 90°, 180°, or 270° — and click Rotate & Download. All pages in the PDF are rotated permanently so the correct orientation is saved into the file.

Question 8

How do I split a PDF into separate files?

Accepted Answer

Open the Split PDF tool, upload your PDF, and enter the page ranges you want as separate files (for example: 1-3,5,7-9). Leave the field empty to split every page into its own individual file. Each range downloads as a separate PDF.

Question 9

How do I delete pages from a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Open the Delete PDF Pages tool, upload your PDF, and enter the page numbers you want removed — for example: 1,3,5-7. Click Delete & Download to get your file with those pages removed.

Question 10

How do I add a watermark to a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Open the Watermark PDF tool, upload your PDF, type your watermark text, adjust the opacity if needed, and click Add Watermark & Download. The watermark is applied to every page of the file.
