What are PDF tools?

PDF tools are browser-based and server-side utilities for working with PDF files without installing software. Common tasks include merging multiple PDFs into one document, splitting a large document into pages, compressing files to reduce their size, converting between PDF and other formats, and securing PDFs with passwords.

Frequently asked questions

Are Utilavo PDF tools free?

Yes. All PDF tools on Utilavo are completely free to use. No subscription, no account, and no watermarks are required.

Are my PDFs uploaded to a server?

It depends on the tool. Browser-based tools (Merge, Split, Rotate, Organize, Protect, Unlock) process files locally — your PDFs never leave your device. Server-based tools (Compress PDF, PDF to Image) upload files over encrypted HTTPS and delete them immediately after processing.

What PDF file size limit applies?

The maximum file size is 50 MB per PDF. For larger documents, try splitting the PDF first, processing each part separately, then merging the results.

Can I convert scanned PDFs?

Yes. The PDF to Image tool converts scanned PDFs to high-resolution image files. For extracting editable text from scans, OCR software is required — the document conversion tools work best with digitally-created, searchable PDFs.
