Frequently asked questions
Are PDF Tools Base utilities really free?
Yes — all 161 tools are completely free with no signup required. The site is supported by occasional unobtrusive ads.
Do you upload my PDFs to a server?
Selected files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to our server. URL/Webpage tools may contact the destination website you enter, and Google services may process analytics or advertising data as explained in the Privacy Policy.
Do PDFs come back with a watermark?
No. We never add a watermark, branding, or paywall stamp to your output. The files you download are clean.
Does this work on mobile?
Most tools work on modern mobile browsers, but large PDFs, OCR, rendering and camera workflows are more reliable on desktop or newer devices.
Are there file size limits?
There is no fixed server-side upload limit because selected files are not uploaded to our server. Browser memory is the practical limit; phones may struggle with PDFs over 50–100MB and very large or complex documents may work better on desktop.
