About these tools
Every PDF tool on FlexyPdf runs in the browser using open-source libraries such as pdf-lib and Mozilla's PDF.js. When you choose a file, JavaScript on the page reads it into memory, does the work and hands you a new file to download. Nothing is sent to a server, which also means the practical size limit is the memory of the device you are using rather than an upload cap.
The tools cover the jobs that come up most often: putting several PDFs together, pulling pages out of a long document, making a file small enough to email, adding a watermark or a password, turning photos into a PDF and getting the text out of a PDF into a Word document. Each tool page explains exactly what the tool does and lists its limitations, for example where pages are converted to images or where layout is not preserved.
Because the processing is local, these tools work well for documents you would rather not upload anywhere. They are not a replacement for a full desktop PDF suite: there is no OCR for scanned pages, and complex tasks such as editing the original text of a PDF are outside their scope.
Typical uses
Examples of everyday tasks these tools are built for.
Office paperwork
Combining signed pages into one file, splitting out the pages someone needs, or shrinking a report to fit an email attachment limit.
Students
Turning photos of handwritten notes into a single PDF, or extracting the chapters you need from a long PDF.
Freelancers and small businesses
Watermarking drafts before sending them for review, or adding a password to an invoice or contract.
Frequently asked questions
Are my PDF files uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF tools read and process files with JavaScript inside your browser tab. The finished file is created on your device and downloaded from there.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit because nothing is uploaded, but very large files need a lot of memory. On phones or older computers, files of a few hundred megabytes may fail or be slow.
Can these tools read scanned documents?
Not as text. A scanned PDF is made of images, and FlexyPdf does not include OCR (text recognition). Tools that work with pages — merge, split, watermark, password — still work on scanned files.
