Split, merge, convert and tidy PDFs, privately.

Split

Split a PDF

Break one PDF into several: by page ranges you type, one file per page, or a set number of pages per file. With more than one file you get a single .zip, or each file on its own.

Ranges: 1-3, 5, 8-10 makes three files. 8- means page 8 to the end.

Merge

Merge PDFs

Join several PDFs into one, in the order you choose. Add files in one go or a few at a time, then move them up or down.

Putting together a full map book or atlas? See our mapping services.

Extract or delete

Extract or delete pages

Pick pages by clicking them or typing their numbers, then keep just those pages in a new PDF, or delete them and keep the rest.

Your original file is not changed; you download a new copy.

Rotate

Rotate pages

Fix scanned pages that came out sideways or upside down. Click a page to turn it 90° clockwise, or turn every page at once.

Landscape maps in a portrait report? Turn just those pages.

Reorder

Reorder pages

Put pages in a new order. Drag a page to its new place, or use the arrow buttons under each page (handy on phones and with a keyboard).

PDF to images

PDF to images

Turn pages into PNG or JPG pictures for slides, websites, social posts or a quick map preview. Pick the resolution, and all pages or just some.

PNG keeps lines and text crisp, which suits maps and drawings. JPG makes smaller files for photos. 150 ppi is good on screen; 300 ppi for print.

Images to PDF

Images to PDF

Put photos, scans or screenshots into one PDF, one image per page, in the order you choose. Phone photos come out the right way up.

Works with JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF, plus any other image type your browser can open.

PDF to text

PDF to text

Copy all the text out of a PDF: reports, permits, data tables, references. Copy it or save it as a .txt file.

This reads text that's already in the file. Scanned pages are pictures with no text, and need OCR.

Page numbers

Add page numbers

Number the pages of a report, plan set or submittal: “Page 3 of 12”, “Sheet 3 of 12” or your own wording. Start at any number, and skip a cover page.

In the text, {n} is the page number and {total} the last number.

Watermark

Watermark or stamp

Mark a document as DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL or NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION, across the middle or as a band at the top or bottom, on every page or just some.

See-through settings leave the page readable underneath.

Page size and 2-up

Page size and pages per sheet

Fit every page onto Letter, A4, Tabloid or A3, for example a 24 × 36 in plan set onto 11 × 17 for review. Or put 2 or 4 pages on each sheet for handouts.

Pages are scaled, not turned into pictures, so text and lines stay sharp. A scaled plan is no longer at its printed scale.

Shrink

Shrink a PDF

Make a big PDF small enough to email or upload by redrawing each page as a compressed picture. Best for scans and files full of photos.

Pages become pictures: text can't be selected or searched afterwards, and links and form fields are removed. Keep your original.

Document info

Document info and clean-up

See what's inside a PDF before you send it: page sizes (Letter, ANSI, ARCH, A-series), who made it and with what, form fields, attached files and hidden metadata. Edit the title and author, strip the hidden info, or flatten a filled-in form so the answers can't be changed.

GeoPDF

GeoPDF inspector

Is this map PDF georeferenced, and where is it? Choose a GeoPDF, such as a USGS US Topo map or a map exported from QGIS or ArcGIS, to see its coordinate system, its bounds in latitude and longitude, and its centre.

Copy the bounding box or WKT, or download the map's footprint as GeoJSON to load in any GIS.
