About PDFMaster
PDFMaster is a browser-based PDF toolkit built for one simple reason: everyday PDF tasks — merging a few files, shrinking one for email, pulling out a couple of pages — shouldn't require installing software or paying for a subscription you'll use twice a year. Upload a file, run the tool, download the result. That's the whole idea.
Why We Built This
Most desktop PDF software is either expensive, bloated with features nobody uses, or locked behind a trial that expires right when you need it most. We wanted something that opens in a browser tab, does one job well, and gets out of your way. PDFMaster started as a small set of tools — merge and split — and has grown from there based on what people actually asked for.
Who Uses PDFMaster
Students combining scanned assignment pages before submission. Job seekers compressing a resume that's just over an upload limit. Small business owners merging invoices and receipts for their accountant. Teachers splitting one scanned answer sheet into files per student. None of these are complicated jobs — they just needed a tool that didn't make them create an account first.
What's Available Right Now

How We Handle Your Files
Files you upload are used only to run the tool you selected — merging, compressing, converting, whatever the task is — and are deleted from our servers shortly afterward. We don't open, read, or share the contents of your documents. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
What's Next
We're working through a list of requested tools and improvements — better mobile handling for large files, batch processing, and a few more conversion formats are next up. If there's a tool you keep needing and can't find here, tell us — that's usually how the next one gets built.
