Free, simple tools for PDFs, photos and documents that work on your own device.
PDF Shortener is a free website with more than 100 tools: join, split, sign and shrink PDFs, resize photos, make invoices and resumes, count words, and more. It is available in English and Hindi.
Many people need to fix one small file problem, like a PDF that is too big for a form. Most sites ask you to upload your private papers and sign up first. We wanted tools that are quick, clear and respectful of your privacy.
Every tool runs inside your browser. Your files are not uploaded anywhere, and you do not need an account. The site is built with free, open-source software, and the credits are on the Licences page.
A browser has limits. Some tools are basic, for example compressing a PDF that is mostly text, or turning a PDF into Word. Each tool page says what it can and cannot do. We do not offer password locking, text recognition from scans or any AI features, because they cannot be done well and privately on your device.
PDF Shortener is an independent project. It is free to use, and we may pay for it with adverts, which never touch your files. We read every message sent through the Contact page, and we welcome bug reports and ideas for new tools.
