All PDF Tools

PDFBell is a set of small, single-purpose PDF tools. Each one does one job, opens straight to a drop zone and hands back a file to download, so you can chain them: split a long scan, rotate the sideways pages, run OCR on the result, then merge it with another document.

The tools run in your browser tab on open-source libraries, with no account, no sign-up wall and no upload step. Below they are grouped by what you are trying to get done; the last section lists common problems and the tool that solves each one.

Organize and edit pages

Work on the pages of a PDF you already have: combine files, split them apart, pull pages out, remove them, reorder them, or trim what is visible. These tools rebuild the document from its existing pages rather than redrawing them, so text stays selectable.

Merge PDFCombine up to 20 PDFs into one file, in the order you choose.Split PDFBreak one PDF into several, by page ranges or a fixed number of pages per file.Extract PDF PagesPick pages from a thumbnail grid and save only those as a new PDF.Delete PDF PagesRemove unwanted pages by clicking thumbnails or typing a page range.Organize PDFDrag thumbnails to reorder pages and rotate any page 90°.Rotate PDFFix sideways or upside-down pages, for the whole file or just a range.Crop PDFDrag a crop box to trim margins on one page or on every page.

Sign, clean up and shrink

Finish a document before you send it: place a visual signature, review or wipe the hidden author and software fields, or reduce the file size to fit an email limit. Sign PDF adds an image of your signature and is not a certified electronic signature.

Sign PDFDraw, type or upload a signature and place it on any page. It is a visual signature, not a certified e-signature.PDF Metadata EditorView, edit, or wipe a PDF's title, author, and other metadata.Compress PDFShrink a PDF with Low, Medium or High compression and see the size before and after.

Turn PDF pages into images

Export pages as PNG or JPG at 72, 150 or 300 DPI for slides, chat messages or forms that only accept images. Choose a page range, and multi-page exports arrive as a single ZIP file.

Text, Word and OCR

Get the words out of a PDF. PDF to Text and PDF to Word read the text layer a PDF already contains; when a page is only a scanned picture there is no such layer, and OCR PDF recognizes the text first and can save it back as a searchable PDF.

PDF to TextExtract a PDF's embedded text layer as plain text you can copy or save as .txt.PDF to WordRebuild a PDF's text as an editable .docx file with headings and paragraphs.OCR PDFRecognize text in scanned PDFs (English, Chinese, Japanese and six European languages) and save a searchable PDF or plain text.

Not sure which tool you need?

  • My PDF is too big to email.

    Compress it, or split it into parts that each fit under the limit. Compress PDF →

  • I only need a few pages out of a long document.

    Pick them from a thumbnail grid and save them as a new file. Extract PDF Pages →

  • My scan came out sideways.

    Rotate the whole file or just a page range, then download the corrected copy. Rotate PDF →

  • I can't select or search the text in my PDF.

    It is probably a scan with no text layer. Recognize the text with OCR and save a searchable copy. OCR PDF →

  • I want to edit a PDF in Word.

    Convert it to .docx. Single-column text documents come through best; tables and multi-column pages need rebuilding by hand. PDF to Word →

  • I need to share only one page as a picture.

    Render the page as a PNG or JPG at the resolution you need. PDF to PNG →
