Free, private PDF tools that work right in your browser. Merge, crop, split, and compress PDFs without uploading a single file.
Most online PDF tools ask you to upload your files to a remote server. That means your sensitive documents — contracts, tax forms, medical records — sit on a stranger's machine. PDFcone is different. Every tool runs entirely inside your browser. Your files never leave your device. You can even disconnect your internet after loading the page and the tools still work — that's the ultimate privacy guarantee.
Combine multiple PDFs into one file. Drag‑and‑drop reordering, instant merging.
Trim margins with a live visual preview. Crop all pages or just one.
Extract specific pages with a visual page picker. Download as a ZIP.
Stamp sequential numbers on every page – free and private.
Extract text from PDFs and download as editable DOC files – free and private.
Convert images into a clean PDF – reorder, rotate, crop, and combine.
Convert PDF pages into high‑quality JPG images – free and private.
Stamp text or image watermarks on your PDFs – free and private.
Reduce file size for email, uploads, or storage — free and private.
PDFcone uses JavaScript libraries (PDF‑lib, PDF.js, JSZip) to perform all PDF operations directly in your browser. When you drag a file into one of our tools, your browser reads the file, processes it locally, and generates the output — all without sending any data over the internet. This approach keeps your documents completely private and makes the tools extremely fast, even on slower connections.
You can verify this yourself: open any tool, turn off your internet, and use it. It still works perfectly — because nothing ever leaves your device.
Are these tools really free?
Yes, all tools are completely free with no hidden costs. There's no paid tier that blocks features — everything is available to everyone.
Do I need to create an account?
No. PDFcone doesn't require registration, email verification, or any form of sign‑up. Just open a tool and start using it.
What happens to my files after processing?
Nothing. Files are processed only in your browser's temporary memory and are discarded when you close the tab. No copies are ever stored or transmitted.
Can I use these tools on my phone?
Absolutely. All four tools are fully responsive and work on iOS, Android, tablets, and desktop browsers. The crop tool even supports touch dragging.
Is there a file size limit?
The compress tool has a 50 MB limit to prevent browser slowdowns. The merge, crop, and split tools have no hard limits — they're constrained only by your device's memory.
