Your PDFs Should Stay Your PDFs.

We built PDFClear because we believe powerful document tools shouldn't come at the cost of your privacy. Many online PDF services require you to upload sensitive documents to their servers. We do things differently.


Every single operation—from merging and compressing to converting and protecting—happens entirely in your web browser. Your files never leave your computer. It's fast, free, and completely private by design.

Organize & Optimize Your Documents

Take control of your files with essential organization and optimization tools.

  • Merge & Reorder: Combine multiple PDFs into one. Drag and drop files to set the perfect order before merging.
  • Split: Extract specific page ranges from a single PDF into new, separate documents, downloaded conveniently as a ZIP file.
  • Delete Pages: Easily remove unwanted pages by specifying page numbers or ranges.
  • Rotate Pages: Permanently fix the orientation of individual pages or the entire document.
  • Compress PDF: Reduce the file size of your PDFs for easier sharing and storage without losing quality.

Edit, Annotate, and Mark

Add necessary elements to your documents with visual, live-preview tools.

  • Watermark PDF: Apply custom text or image watermarks across all pages, with adjustable opacity and rotation.
  • Add Image: Insert JPG or PNG images onto a specific page, then visually drag, resize, and adjust its transparency.
  • Add Text: Type, style, and position text boxes directly onto your PDF for quick annotations or filling forms.
  • Add Page Numbers: Customize the format, position, font size, and color of page numbers, applying them to all or specific pages.

Security & Protection

Keep your documents safe and accessible only to the people you choose.

  • Protect PDF: Encrypt your document with a password to prevent unauthorized opening.
  • Unlock PDF: Remove password protection (by providing the correct password) to regain full access and editing capabilities.

Convert To & From PDF

Seamlessly transform various file types into PDFs, and extract content from existing documents.

  • Images to PDF: Convert JPG, PNG, and other images (including those inside a ZIP file) into a single PDF document.
  • Text & Web to PDF: Turn TXT, HTML, and Markdown files into professional, formatted PDFs.
  • PDF to Images: Convert PDF pages into high-quality JPG or PNG images, with adjustable DPI and page range selection.
  • Smart PDF to TXT (OCR): Extract clean, editable text from standard PDFs, or automatically apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to scanned documents and images.

AI-Powered Document Analysis

Leverage the power of local, in-browser AI to understand your documents without compromising privacy.

  • Semantic Search: Go beyond simple keyword matching. Ask natural language questions to find relevant information based on meaning and context.
  • Summarize PDF: Get a quick, AI-generated summary of long documents to understand the key points in seconds.
