Free PDF tools that keep your files private

Most online PDF converters upload your documents to their servers to process them. PDFLad works differently: every conversion runs inside your web browser, on your own device. Contracts, bank statements, IDs and other private documents never leave your computer or phone.

Convert PDF to Word, Excel, JPG, PNG and HTML, turn Word, Excel, images and HTML into PDF, and compress PDFs to fit email limits. Every tool is free, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Frequently asked questions

Is PDFLad really free?

Yes. Every tool is free to use, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on the number of files.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. PDFLad runs entirely in your web browser. Your files are processed on your own device and are never sent to us or anyone else.

Do I need to install anything?

No. PDFLad works in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no fixed limit. Because conversion uses your device's memory, very large files work best on a computer rather than a phone.
