PDF Processing in Your Browser

Many TryFormatter PDF tools are designed to process files directly in the browser. This can reduce the need to send document contents to an external processing server.

Each tool may use different browser features. Large or complex PDFs can require more memory and may process more slowly on phones or older computers.

Choose the Right PDF Tool

Make a PDF Smaller

Use PDF Compressor when you want manual control over quality and resolution. Use Compress PDF to Exact Size when a form or portal requires a specific file-size limit.

Change PDF Pages

Use PDF Merger to combine files, PDF Splitter to extract pages, PDF Page Remover to delete pages, and Crop PDF to hide unwanted page areas.

Protect or Unlock a PDF

Use PDF Protector to add a password. Use PDF Unlocker only when you own the document or have permission to remove its protection.

Convert a PDF

Use Image to PDF to combine images into a document. Use PDF to Image when another website accepts JPG or PNG files instead of a PDF.

Check the Final File

Open the result before sharing or submitting it. Check page order, readability, file size, links, forms, and digital signatures when they are important.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which PDF tool should I use to make a file smaller?
Use PDF Compressor for general size reduction using quality and resolution settings, or Compress PDF to Exact Size when you need to aim for a specific file-size limit.
How do I compress a PDF to 100 KB or 200 KB?
Use the Compress PDF to Exact Size tool. Choose the 100 KB or 200 KB target, set your preference to Smallest File, and run the compressor to generate the optimized file.
What is the difference between PDF Compressor and Exact-Size PDF Compressor?
PDF Compressor gives you manual control over image quality, resolution, and colors. The Exact-Size PDF Compressor automatically tests different combinations to target a specific file size.
Does cropping make a PDF smaller?
Not necessarily. Cropping hides the area outside your selection without deleting it from the file structure. Use PDF Compressor if you need to reduce the actual file size.
How do I combine multiple PDFs?
Use PDF Merger to upload multiple files, arrange the page sequence, and merge them into a single PDF document in your browser.
How do I extract selected PDF pages?
Use PDF Splitter to select the specific pages or page ranges you want to extract, and save them as separate files.
How do I remove unwanted PDF pages?
Use PDF Page Remover to load your document, select and delete the unwanted pages, and download the remaining pages as a new PDF.
Can I convert PDF pages to images?
Yes. Use the PDF to Image tool to extract pages from your PDF and save them as individual high-quality JPG or PNG images.
Can I make a PDF from JPG or PNG images?
Yes. Use the Image to PDF tool to combine multiple images, adjust their order, margins, and page sizes, and download them as a single PDF.
Can I add password protection to a PDF?
Yes. Use PDF Protector to enter a password and encrypt your PDF document securely in your browser before sharing it.
Can password-protected PDFs be unlocked?
Yes. Use PDF Unlocker to remove passwords and restrictions, provided you own the document or have permission from the owner.
Does modifying a PDF affect digital signatures?
Yes. Modifying page structures, margins, or metadata on a signed PDF will break the digital signature validation. Always keep a backup of the original signed file.
Why does a large PDF fail on mobile?
Browser-based PDF tools run directly on your local device CPU and RAM. Large files with many pages or high resolutions require more memory than some mobile browsers can provide.
Do PDF contents get sent to analytics?
No. Your files, document text, previews, passwords, and metadata fields are processed locally and are never sent to external servers or analytics.
Which tool should I use for government or application portals?
Use Compress PDF to Exact Size to meet strict upload limits (like under 200 KB) and use Crop PDF to remove extra margins so form text appears clearly.
