Scan and redact PII, encrypt, then share — all in the browser. No upload. No watermark. No account. Plus merge, compress, and local Word / Excel / PowerPoint convert when you need them.
Essentials
The tools people open first
Privacy scanner
Scan a PDF for PII patterns and report what was found, without removing it.
Auto-redact PII
Detect SSNs, emails, phones, and cards — then permanently black them out on matched pages.
Confidential Send
Private prep in one pass — scan/redact PII, strip metadata, watermark, encrypt — or Email Ready. Batch many PDFs into a zip.
Merge PDFs
Combine multiple PDFs into one free — no upload. Drag to reorder before merging.
Split PDF
Extract a page range or split into individual pages. Free, private, no upload.
Compress PDF
Shrink PDFs locally — keep selectable text by default, or max-shrink with a searchable overlay.
Redact
Draw black boxes over sensitive regions. Matched pages are rasterized so covered text is destroyed.
Encrypt PDF
Password-protect a PDF so it cannot be opened without the password.
Merge PDFs
Combine multiple PDFs into one free — no upload. Drag to reorder before merging.
Split PDF
Extract a page range or split into individual pages. Free, private, no upload.

Rotate any page in 90° increments.
Reorder pages
Drag page thumbnails to rearrange or remove them.
Delete pages
Remove specific pages by number. The rest stays untouched.
Extract pages
Pull selected pages into a new PDF, keeping the original intact.
Reverse pages
Flip the page order so the last page becomes the first.
N-up pages

Mix PDFs
Interleave pages from two PDFs into one — alternate odd/even pages.
Scale pages
Scale page content by a percentage (page size changes), or fit pages into A4/Letter.
Resize pages
Change the page size to A4, Letter, Legal, or a custom size.
Flip / mirror
Flip every page horizontally or vertically like a mirror image.
Insert blank page
Add a blank page at any position — beginning, end, or after a specific page.
Compress PDF
Shrink PDFs locally — keep selectable text by default, or max-shrink with a searchable overlay.
Flatten forms
Flatten form fields so values can no longer be edited.
Grayscale PDF
Convert pages to grayscale for printing — searchable text overlay kept when available.
Invert colours
Invert every page for dark-mode reading — searchable text overlay kept when available.
Page numbers
Add page numbers in any corner with a custom format.
Watermark

Whiteout
Cover regions with white instead of black. Editable later.
Bates numbering
Add legal-style sequential labels (BATES-0001, BATES-0002, …) to every page.
