Edit PDFs on iPhone, Mac and Windows — free, no upload

The same browser-based tools work on every device you own. No app to install, no account, and your files stay on your phone or computer.

One set of tools, every device

Because these tools run inside a web browser rather than as installed software, there is nothing platform-specific to download. If your device has a modern browser — Safari, Chrome, Edge, or Firefox — you can merge, split, rotate, delete pages, extract pages, and turn images into a PDF. The steps below differ only in how each system lets you pick a file and where the finished PDF lands.

On iPhone and iPad

Open the tool you need in Safari (or Chrome).
Tap the upload box. iOS offers a menu: choose Files to reach documents from iCloud Drive or on-device storage, or Photo Library when you are converting images with JPG to PDF.
Make your changes — reorder, set a page range, pick a rotation — and tap the action button.
The new PDF downloads and appears in the Downloads area of Files (or wherever Safari saves downloads). From there you can move it to a folder, AirDrop it, or attach it to an email.

A handy iOS trick: in many apps you can tap Share → Print, then pinch outward on the print preview to turn almost anything into a PDF, which you can then feed into these tools.

On Mac

Open the tool in Safari or Chrome.
Click the upload box and choose your file from the Finder dialog, or simply drag a file from a Finder window straight onto the drop zone.
Adjust the options and click the action button.
The result lands in your Downloads folder by default. Double-click to open it in Preview and confirm it looks right.

macOS Preview is a useful companion: it can rotate or delete pages too, but for combining several files or pulling out a scattered set of pages, the browser tools are quicker and keep everything in one place.

On Windows

Open the tool in Edge, Chrome, or Firefox.
Click the upload box and select your file, or drag it from File Explorer onto the drop zone.
Set your options and click the action button.
The new PDF saves to your Downloads folder. Open it in your usual PDF viewer to check the output.

Why “no upload” matters more on mobile

On a phone especially, it is tempting to grab the first free PDF app from the store. Many of those send your file to a server to do the work and ask for broad permissions besides. The browser tools here never upload your document — the processing happens on the device in front of you — so a contract or ID scan you open on your phone never travels anywhere. There is nothing to install, nothing to sign into, and no account tying the file to you.

Tips for a smoother experience

Large files on mobile: very big PDFs use more memory, so on an older phone, close other tabs first if a tool feels slow.
Finding the download: on every platform the result goes to the standard Downloads location — check there first if it seems to “disappear”.
Offline use: once a tool page has loaded, it keeps working even if your connection drops, because the processing is local.

Pick the task you need from the guides hub or jump straight to Merge PDF to get started — the workflow is the same whether you are on a phone, a laptop, or a desktop.
