About WorksPDF
Practical PDF tools, built to be finished with quickly.
The idea
Every online PDF tool asks you to hand over the document first. For a holiday photo that is fine. For a contract, a payslip, a client list or a scan of an ID it is a strange thing to do, and plenty of workplaces quietly forbid it.
Browsers can do this work themselves now. So we built the tools to run inside yours: the file is opened from your disk, changed in memory and saved back. It is faster than uploading, it works on a bad connection, and the awkward question of where your document ended up never comes up.
How we build
- Each tool does one job, on one page, with the options that job actually needs.
- Free means free: no watermark, no daily cap, no account wall in front of the download button.
- When a tool has a real limitation, it is written on the page rather than discovered afterwards.
- When something has to run on a server, we say so and delete the file within the hour.
What is next
Compression, PDF to Word and OCR are the tools people ask for most, and they are what we are building. If something you need is missing, tell us — the list is mostly written by the people using the site.
