Free Online PDF Tools for Everyday Document Tasks

About the Tool

UpgradePDF brings common PDF jobs into one browser-based workspace. You can combine documents, extract selected pages, reduce file size, correct page order, convert between popular formats, and run optical character recognition on scanned pages. Each utility is separated into a focused workflow so you can move from upload to download without navigating a full document editor.

The collection is built for practical questions such as “How do I merge PDF files online?” and “Can I turn a scanned PDF into searchable text?” Choose the tool that matches your intended output, review its options, and keep your original document until you have verified the downloaded result.
