Free PDF tools for everyday documents
PDFLite gives you a complete set of free online PDF tools that work entirely in your browser. Whether you need to merge PDF files into a single document, compress a PDF to email it, split out specific pages, or convert JPG to PDF and PDF to JPG, every tool is one click away — no sign-up, no software to install, and no watermarks on your files.
Our most loved tools include the AI background remover, which erases photo backgrounds in seconds and downloads a transparent PNG, and the PDF text editor, which lets you click any line in your document and change the wording in place — keeping the original position, size and font. You can also rotate PDF pages that came out sideways and protect a PDF with a password so only the right people can open it.
Students use PDFLite to merge assignments and compress files for uploads. Offices use it to split reports, convert scans to shareable documents, and password-protect sensitive paperwork. Because everything runs with client-side technology, your documents are never uploaded to a server — processing happens on your own device, which keeps your private files private and makes the tools fast even on slow connections.
All tools work on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone, in any modern browser. Open a tool, drop your files, and download the result — it is that simple. New tools are added regularly, and every tool on this page will always stay free.
Unlike many online converters that queue your files on a remote server, add watermarks, or limit you to two conversions per day, PDFLite has no such restrictions for normal use. There is no account to create, no email to confirm, and no software to download. Your workflow stays simple: pick the PDF merger to combine contracts, use the PDF compressor before uploading to a portal with file-size limits, or turn photos of documents into a neat PDF with the JPG to PDF converter. Everything is designed to save you time while keeping your data on your own device.
Frequently asked questions
Are PDFLite tools really free?
Yes. All 16 tools are 100% free with no sign-up, no watermarks and no file limits for normal use.
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?

Which PDF tools does PDFLite offer?

Are my files really safe? How does "no upload" work?
Yes. The processing code (JavaScript) is downloaded to your browser, and your files are processed in your device's memory. You can verify this: open your browser's network tab (F12), use any tool, and you'll see no file data being sent anywhere. For extra assurance, most tools keep working even if you disconnect from the internet after the page loads.
Is there any file size limit?
Each file can be up to 100 MB, with up to 50 files per task. Because processing happens on your device, very large files are also limited by your device's available memory — on phones, stay under ~50 MB per file for smooth performance.
Does it work on mobile phones?
Yes. All tools work in Chrome and Safari on Android and iPhone. The interface is touch-friendly: tap to select files, and downloads go straight to your device. No app install needed.
Does PDFLite work on mobile phones?
Yes. The site is fully responsive and all tools work in mobile browsers on Android and iOS.
Is there a limit on file size or number of files?
Each file can be up to 100 MB, and tools that take multiple files (Merge PDF, JPG to PDF) accept up to 50 files per task. Because processing happens on your own device, very large files are also limited by your device's memory. If a file is extremely large, try the Compress PDF tool first to reduce its size.
