PDF & Document Tools

AnyShift PDF tools let you convert, merge, split, compress, sign, protect, OCR and redact PDF files directly in your browser. Files are processed on your own device, so nothing is uploaded to a server, there is no signup, and there are no watermarks.

Every everyday PDF job in one place

Most PDF work falls into four jobs: converting (PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint or images, and back), organising (merge, split, rotate, rearrange or delete pages), optimising (compress for email, flatten forms, archive as PDF/A) and securing (password-protect, unlock, redact, sign). AnyShift covers all four with focused single-purpose tools so you are never hunting through menus.

Why browser-based PDF processing is safer

Contracts, payslips, IDs and medical letters should not sit on a stranger's server. Our PDF engine (built on the open-source pdf-lib and Mozilla PDF.js projects) runs inside your browser tab. Your document is read into memory, transformed and handed back as a download — the bytes never leave your computer. That is also why the tools stay fast on large files: there is no upload queue.

Choosing the right PDF tool

  • Need to edit the text? Use PDF to Word, then Word to PDF when you are done.
  • File too big for email? Compress PDF — most scanned files shrink 50–90%.
  • Scanned paper that is not searchable? OCR Scanned PDF adds a selectable text layer.
  • Sharing something sensitive? Redact PDF Locally permanently removes the hidden text under black boxes, then Protect PDF adds a password.
  • Signing a contract? Sign PDF lets you draw, type or upload a signature.
