Add documents
JPG, PNG or PDF — drop many files at once, from a computer or a phone.

Check and download
Review a checklist based on the real output file, then download each file or the whole set.
Typical needs
Job or school applications
Combine diplomas, transcripts and certificates into one PDF in the right order and under the portal’s size limit.
Online service registration
Turn document photos into JPGs with the right pixel dimensions and under 500 KB.
Share copies more safely
Redact account or ID numbers in a PDF by removing the actual content, not just covering it.
Phone only, no app to install
Pick photos from your gallery or take new ones and turn them into one PDF in the browser.
Your files stay on your device
PDF Tool Plus reads, merges, compresses and converts files with your own browser. Documents are not sent to a server, no account is needed, and the session is cleared when you press “Clear session” or close the page.
Read the privacy policyHonest about limits
Not every PDF can be compressed to any size. When a limit is not met you see the real size and ways to adjust — never a fake “success”.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The tools process files with JavaScript, Web Workers and WebAssembly inside your browser; you can even go offline after the page loads. The only exception is “Word, Excel, PowerPoint to PDF”: it exists only when enabled and sends a file only after you tick consent — the file is deleted from the server as soon as it is converted.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the page and use it right away.
Does PDF Tool Plus guarantee my application will be accepted?
No. The site only checks the technical requirements you enter (format, size, page count, image dimensions). The recipient sets the actual rules.
How is 1 MB counted?
In the checker, 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes and 1 KB = 1,000 bytes. If the recipient counts 1,048,576 bytes per MB, your limit is slightly on the safe side.
