About

PDF tools that respect your files

PDFRoll brings together 36 tools to merge, compress, convert, sign or edit PDFs, for free and with no sign-up. What makes it different: everything happens in your browser.

Why PDFRoll

Most online services ask you to upload your documents to their servers. Yet the PDFs we handle are often sensitive: contracts, bank statements, ID documents, medical records. PDFRoll was designed so that these files never leave your device: they are read and processed locally, then downloaded straight from your computer or phone.

How the site is funded

PDFRoll is an independent project, free and with no sign-up. If it ever shows ads, they will stay discreet, placed within the pages, with no pop-ups, and will never have access to your files.

What it is built with

The tools rely on well-known open-source libraries, including pdf-lib, PDF.js, JSZip and Tesseract for text recognition. They are all hosted on the site, which is served by Cloudflare.
