Everything for documents and pictures, in one place
Two halves of one toolbox, and most of both never send your file anywhere.
PDF tools
50Roughly half the catalogue works on documents, and it splits into a few plain jobs. Reorganising a file: putting several together, pulling one apart, changing the order of pages or dropping the ones you do not want. Changing how it reads: page numbers, headers, a stamp on each page, wider or tighter margins.
Then making it smaller, which matters the moment an upload form refuses your file. Turning it into something else, whether that is an editable document, a spreadsheet, a set of images or plain text. And locking it: a password, a flattened form nobody can refill, or a paragraph blacked out so it cannot be copied back out.
Image tools
54The other half works on pictures and follows the same shape. Changing format between JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, TIFF, BMP and SVG. Reducing file size, usually with no difference you can see. Changing the picture itself: size, crop, rotation, brightness, or a watermark of your own.
And reading what is written inside it, which is the part most people have never looked at. A photo from a phone routinely carries the camera, the date and the exact coordinates of where you were standing. You can see all of it, strip it, and confirm it is gone before the picture goes anywhere.
Three steps, no account
-
1
Drop your file in
Pick a tool, or drop a file straight onto this page and let DocPivot suggest what it can do with it.
-
2
Make your changes
Every edit previews before it commits, and every step can be undone. Stack several and run them in one pass.
-
3
Download and close the tab
No sign-up, no watermark, no waiting. Your original is untouched and the result is a new file.
Where your file actually goes
Most free PDF sites upload your file to a server, do the work there, and promise to delete it afterwards. DocPivot only does that when the job genuinely cannot be done in a browser.
- 72 tools never upload anything. Turn off your connection after the page loads and they keep working.
- 32 need our server for jobs a browser cannot do, like OCR or Office conversion. Those files are deleted within 30 minutes.
- Every tool says which kind it is before you choose a file.
You do not have to take our word for it. Open devtools, watch the network tab, and run a browser tool: nothing leaves.
Under the hood
How the tools run inside your browser
Browsers stopped being document viewers some years ago. A modern one can read and write a PDF and re-encode an image fast enough that sending the file to a server would be the slow part. DocPivot uses that directly: pdf.js to read documents, pdf-lib to write them, and WebAssembly builds of MozJPEG, libwebp, AVIF and OxiPNG for pictures. The heavy work runs on a background thread, so the page stays responsive while it happens.
Every one of those libraries is served from this site rather than a third-party CDN. That is why the browser tools keep working when you disconnect: once the page has loaded, nothing further is fetched and nothing is sent.
Stack the edits, run them once
Apply several edits in a single pass, instead of downloading and re-uploading your file between four separate tools.
- Each step is applied to the original, so quality does not drop with every hop.
- Reorder or remove a step and run it again without starting over.
- Every change is undoable, and your source file is never modified.
Do it to a whole folder at once
Apply the same set of edits across many files and get one archive back, instead of repeating yourself forty times.
- A file that fails does not stop the rest, and the report names the one that did.
- Each file is processed on its own, so nothing leaks between documents.
- Download the whole set as one ZIP, or pick out single results.
What makes DocPivot different
Free document tools usually pay for themselves somewhere. Here is where the common ones charge you, and what DocPivot does instead.
A typical free PDF site
- Two files a day, then wait or pay
- Sign up before you can download
- A watermark on the free tier
- Every file uploaded, whatever the job
- We delete your files after an hour
- One tool at a time, re-uploading between each
DocPivot
- Every tool, as many times as you want
- No account and no email address
- Your file comes back exactly as you made it
- Most tools never send the file anywhere
- Mostly nothing to delete, which beats any policy
- Chain the edits and run them in one pass
Who ends up using it
Lawyers, accountants, HR teams and clinics deal with files they are not free to upload to a random website. A tool that runs in the browser removes the question entirely: there is no transfer to justify.
A picture from a phone can carry the coordinates of where it was taken. Check what a file is holding, strip it, and see for yourself that it is gone before anything is published.
Merge a portfolio, shrink a submission under an upload limit, convert a document to the format an application demands. No account, and no watermark on the thing you are being judged on.
A tool that does not upload does not spend your data or your patience on a 40 MB round trip. The page loads once and the work is instant after that.
No limits, no catches
The things a free tool usually takes back from you, and why none of them apply here.
Use every tool as often as you like. There is no task counter and no cooldown.
No account, and no free trial that turns into a subscription.
Most tools do the whole job on your device and never send the file anywhere. The few that need our server say so on the tool page, before you start.
Your file comes out the way you made it. Nothing is stamped on it.
FAQs about PDF tools and image tools
Uploads, limits, watermarks and what it costs.
What are PDF tools?
They are small single-purpose utilities for changing a document without buying software: combining several files into one, pulling pages out, reordering them, reducing the file size, converting the document to another format, or locking it with a password. DocPivot has around fifty of them, all free.
What are image tools?
They do the same job for pictures: changing a photo from one format to another, making the file smaller, adjusting the size, crop, rotation or brightness, and reading or removing the camera and location data stored inside the image. DocPivot has more than fifty of these, also free.
Are online PDF tools safe to use?
That depends entirely on whether the site uploads your file. Most do, which means a copy of your document sits on someone else's server. On DocPivot the majority of tools never upload anything, so there is no copy to trust anyone with, and every tool states which kind it is before you choose a file.
Are these tools really free?
Yes, completely, with no paid tier behind them. Tools that run in your browser use your device rather than our servers, so they cost us nothing, and the site is funded by advertising instead of by limiting what you can do.
Do I need to sign up or create an account?
No. There is no account, no email address, no login and no subscription. Open a tool, use it, and close the tab.
Will there be a watermark on my file?
No. Nothing is stamped on anything you make here, on any tool. Your file comes out exactly as you made it.
Do I need to install any software?
No. Everything runs in the browser you are already using, on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. There is no download, no extension and no desktop application.
Do these tools work offline?
The browser-based ones do. Once the page has loaded you can disconnect and they keep working, because the code and your file are both already on your device. Tools that need our server naturally require a connection.
Is there a file size limit or a daily limit?
There is no daily limit and no task counter on any tool. For size, browser tools are bound by your device memory rather than a number we invented: large files warn you and then carry on. Tools that use our server accept up to 100 MB.
Will the quality of my file drop?
Not unless you ask it to. Removing metadata copies the image through untouched rather than re-saving it, and compressing a PDF keeps its text as text. Where a tool has to trade quality for size, it says so and lets you choose.
