- PDF to JPG: In case you need to convert all the pages of a PDF file into JPG image format, you can do so with this tool. You should use the PDF to PNG converter if your PDF file contains a lot of text. You can even select the image quality.
- PDF to PNG: You can also convert PDF file to PNG format, and select the image quality as well.
- JPG to PDF: If you have an image and you want to convert it to PDF file, you can use this tool. The problem is you cannot make a multi-page PDF file.
- Merge PDF: if you have two or more PDF files and you want to merge PDFs, using their Merge PDF tool.
- Split PDF: It is the exact opposite of merging PDF. Let’s assume that you have a PDF file containing ten pages and you want to split it into two parts. You can use this tool and split the single large PDF into multiple small PDF files.
- Compress PDF: PDF consumes more space than a Word document. Therefore, if you want to compress a PDF file to reduce the file size, you can use this tool.
- Unlock PDF: If you have a locked PDF file and you want to unlock the PDF, you can use Unlock PDF option. It will let you enter the password after uploading the PDF file – and then download the unlocked version of your PDF file.

- Rotate PDF: This may not be useful to all, but if you wish to rotate your PDF you can do so using this tool. You need to select the pages and rotation degree. You can choose 90, 180, and 270 degrees.
- Add Watermark: If you are distributing a PDF file on the internet and you want to use a watermark to protect, you can use either a text watermark or image watermark. You can choose the location and custom text/image. One limitation is that you will not get an option to select the page where you want to paste your watermark.
- Deleted pages: Let’s assume that you have a PDF file and you want to remove some pages from it. Enter the page numbers that you want to delete. E.g. 2 or 2-4. The first option will let you delete the page number 2, whereas the second option will remove 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
