Frequently Asked Questions
Are my PDF files uploaded to a server?+
No. All processing happens entirely inside your browser using pdf-lib, an open-source JavaScript library. Your PDF files are never uploaded, transmitted, or stored anywhere. This makes it safe for confidential documents — contracts, medical records, financial files, ID documents.
Can I merge multiple PDF files into one?+
Yes. Upload multiple PDF files and all their pages appear in a single combined list. Reorder pages as needed, then click Download PDF to get one merged document. There is no limit on the number of files or total pages.
How do I delete a page from a PDF?+
Upload your PDF, then click the ✕ button on any page you want to remove. The page is immediately removed from the page list. Click Download PDF to get the file with those pages deleted. Your original file on disk is never changed.
Can I reorder the pages?+
Yes. Use the ↑ and ↓ arrow buttons on each page card to move it earlier or later in the document. You can reorder pages from multiple source PDFs — useful for interleaving chapters from different files.
How do I fix a sideways or upside-down page?+
Click the ↻ (clockwise) or ↺ (counter-clockwise) button on the page. Each click rotates by 90°. For upside-down pages, click twice in either direction. The rotation is written into the PDF output so it displays correctly in all PDF viewers.
Is there a file size or page count limit?+
No artificial limits. The tool processes files in your browser, so the practical limit is your device's available memory. Modern devices handle PDFs of several hundred pages and files over 100 MB without issue.
How does the Split PDF feature work?+
Switch to the Split PDF tab, enter a page range in the input field (e.g., 1-5 to extract the first five pages, or 1,3,7 to extract specific pages), and click Download PDF. The extracted pages are saved as a new PDF. Useful for pulling a single chapter out of a report or sending a subset of a contract.
Does the downloaded PDF have any watermarks or metadata?+
No. The output PDF is completely clean — just your content. No FreeToolsToGo branding, no watermarks, no hidden metadata beyond standard PDF structure. The file is production-ready.

How to Edit a PDF Without Software
Most people reach for Adobe Acrobat or a cloud service like Smallpdf when they need to rearrange a PDF. But both require either an expensive subscription or uploading your file to a third-party server. This free PDF editor runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib, an open-source JavaScript library. Your files never leave your device — which makes it the right choice for contracts, tax documents, medical records, and any PDF you wouldn't feel comfortable sending to a stranger's server.
Merging Multiple PDFs
To merge PDFs, simply upload all the files you want to combine. Their pages appear in a single list in the order you uploaded the files. Reorder individual pages with the ↑ and ↓ buttons — you can interleave pages from different source documents, not just append one file to another. Click Download PDF when the order is correct and you get a single merged document with no watermarks and no metadata exposing which tool you used.
Deleting Pages From a PDF
The most common PDF editing task is removing a page you don't want — a blank page at the end, a cover sheet added by a scanner, or a terms page that isn't relevant to the recipient. Click the ✕ button on any page to remove it from the output. The original file on your device is never modified. If you accidentally delete the wrong page, click Clear all and re-upload to start fresh.
Rotating Individual Pages
Scanners frequently produce pages that are sideways or upside down. The ↻ and ↺ buttons rotate the selected page by 90° in either direction. Each click adds 90° — click twice for 180° (upside-down correction). The rotation is embedded in the PDF output so the page displays correctly in any viewer, on any device, without requiring the reader to rotate it manually.
Splitting a PDF Into Pages or Ranges
The Split tab lets you extract a specific range of pages as a new PDF. Enter a page range in the input field — for example, 1-3 extracts the first three pages, 5,7,9 extracts three individual pages, and 1-3,7,10-12 extracts a combination. This is useful for extracting a single chapter from a large document, sending only specific pages to a client, or archiving a subset of a report.
When Should You Use a Desktop PDF Editor?
This browser tool covers the most common PDF editing tasks — merging, reordering, rotating, splitting, and page numbering. It does not support adding text annotations, filling form fields, adding digital signatures, or editing the text content of a page (which requires re-rendering the PDF). For those tasks, consider a desktop tool like LibreOffice Draw (free, open-source) or Adobe Acrobat. For everything else — the operations that represent 90% of real-world PDF editing — this tool handles it entirely in your browser with no account required.
