Sixteen free tools, built for real printing and form-filling jobs

We run a bulk printing press in Borivali West, Mumbai, and the same file problems arrive every day: pages out of order, no index, colour pages scattered through a black-and-white document, margins that cut off text, photos rejected by exam portals.

Three tools you will struggle to find on the big PDF websites

Merging and page counting are everywhere. These three came out of problems on our own shop floor, and as far as we know, very few free PDF sites offer anything like them.

Colour page separator

Most sites can split a PDF by page number. This tool looks at every page, works out which ones actually contain colour, and pulls them out for you. A 300-page report with 12 colour pages should not be priced as 300 colour pages.

See the tool

Merge into a book with an automatic index

An ordinary merge glues files end to end. This one reads your file names, builds a real table of contents at the front and numbers the pages straight through, so a folder of chapters becomes a book without typing an index by hand.

See the tool

JPG to an exact KB size

Indian exam and government portals reject photos that miss their limit by a single kilobyte. General resizers give rough quality sliders and leave you guessing. This one hits the exact pixel size and the exact file size you were told to submit.

See the tool

How much the colour page separator can save

A worked example at our own current rates: a 300-page report, printed front and back, where only 12 pages contain colour.

Printed all in colour

₹600

300 pages on 80 GSM colour at ₹2.00 per side (200–499 pages, front-back).

Colour pages separated first

₹302

288 black-and-white pages at ₹0.80 per side (100–499 band) = ₹230.40, plus 12 colour pages on 100 GSM at ₹6.00 (11–50 pages) = ₹72.

Printing charges only, before binding and courier. Illustrative; your exact quote depends on file type and quantity. Rates as on 16/09/2026.

Find your problem in plain words and go straight to the tool that fixes it.

How to use the free PDF tools – three steps, no account

There is no sign-up screen, no confirmation email and no upload progress bar, because there is nothing to upload.

  1. Open the tool

    Click any tool above. It loads like an ordinary web page. Nothing installs and no extension is needed.

  2. Choose your file

    Pick the PDF or photo from your own computer or phone. Your browser reads it straight from your device.

  3. Save the result

    The work happens on your own machine and the finished file saves to your device. No watermark, no queue, no daily limit.

Why browser-based PDF tools are faster and more private

Upload-based PDF websites work in four stages: your file travels to their server, waits in a queue, gets processed, then travels back to you. On a slow mobile connection, a 100 MB file can spend far longer in transit than in processing.

Our tools are written in JavaScript that runs inside your browser. The page loads once, and from then on your own processor does the work. The upload and the return download simply do not happen, so the result is ready as soon as your device finishes — usually within seconds — and your document is never copied to any server.

How these compare with typical online PDF websites

Most free PDF services send your document to their servers and then start counting: files per task, tasks per hour, a size cap, and a sign-up wall after that. Ours work on your own device, so there is nothing to count.

Quick answers

How do I merge PDF files without uploading them?

Open the free Merge PDF tool, add your files, arrange the order and save. The merge happens in your browser, so the files never leave your device.

How do I separate colour pages from a PDF for printing?

Load the PDF into the colour page separator. It detects the colour pages and gives you one colour file and one black-and-white file.

How do I reduce a photo to exactly 20 KB or 50 KB?

Use the exact JPG size tool. Enter the pixel size and the KB limit the form asks for, and save the resized photo.

How can I count pages in several PDFs at once?

Drop all the files into the PDF page counter. It lists each file's pages and the total.

How do I make one PDF book with a table of contents?

Name your chapter files in order and use Merge PDF with index. It adds a contents page and numbers the whole book.

How do I stop text being cut off when a PDF prints?

Open the margin adjuster, widen the margins and check the live preview before printing.

Frequently asked questions about the free PDF tools

Are these PDF tools really free?

Yes. All sixteen are completely free, with no paid tier, no trial period and no watermark on anything they produce.

How do I print 4 or 6 PDF pages on one sheet?

Open the multiple pages per sheet tool, add your PDFs and pick 2, 4, 6, 9 or up to 16 per sheet. Every page is shrunk to fit whole, a 1 cm binding margin is kept on all sides, and you can add sheet numbers and an index.

How do I make a book cover with the spine for printing?

Open the book cover maker, add the front and back cover pictures, choose the book size and enter the page count and paper GSM. It works out the spine width, places back, spine and front in the right order, adds crease marks outside the cover and exports a 600 DPI CMYK file or a 12 × 18 or 13 × 19 PDF.

How do I convert a scanned PDF or photo to text?

Open the OCR tool, add the scan or photo, tick the languages on the page and press Read the text. Low-DPI and shadowed scans are cleaned automatically, and you can copy the text or download it as Word or a searchable PDF.

How do I make a dark-mode or black-background PDF printable?

Open the invert colours tool and choose Auto or Invert everything. White text on black becomes black text on white, and text PDFs stay sharp and selectable. Grey scan backgrounds can also be cleaned to pure white.

How do I print a long screenshot or a WhatsApp chat?

Open the long screenshot to PDF tool and add or paste your screenshots. It splits them into A4, A5 or Letter pages, placing each page break between lines of text so nothing is cut in half, and saves one PDF ready to print.

Do I need to create an account or sign in?

No. There is no registration, no email address to give and no password to remember. Open the page and use the tool.

Are my files uploaded to your server?

No. Each tool runs on JavaScript inside your browser and reads the file from your own device. The document never travels over the internet, which is why processing is fast and confidential papers stay confidential.

Is there a file size limit?

No. Because nothing is uploaded there is no upload cap. Very large files are limited only by your own device's memory, so a several-hundred-megabyte merge is easier on a laptop than on a phone.

How many PDF files can I merge at once?

As many as you like. There is no cap on files per task and no daily limit on how many times you use a tool.

Why are these tools faster than upload-based PDF sites?

Upload-based sites must receive your file, process it on their server and send it back. Here the upload and the return download never happen, so the result is ready as soon as your own device finishes the work.

Do the tools work on a mobile phone?

Yes. They open in any modern phone browser, and jobs like counting pages or setting a JPG size work well. For merging very large documents, a laptop or desktop gives more memory and a steadier result.

Do the tools need an internet connection to process a file?

You need the internet to open the page, but not to do the work. Once a tool has loaded, processing happens on your own device, so a slow connection does not slow it down.

Are these safe for confidential documents?

Your file is never sent to us or to anyone else, so no copy exists on a server to be stored, scanned or deleted later. That is why lawyers, accountants and HR teams prefer tools like these over upload-based sites.

How do I resize a photo to the exact KB size an exam form wants?

Open the JPG size tool, load your photo or signature, and enter the pixel dimensions and file size the portal asks for. The tool produces a file at that size so the upload is accepted.

What is the difference between merging PDFs and merging with an index?

A plain merge joins your files into one document. Merging with an index also builds a table of contents at the front and numbers the pages across the whole book, which is what you want before spiral or perfect binding.

Can I use the colour page separator to lower my printing bill anywhere?

Yes. The two files it creates can be printed at any shop. Colour pages are usually charged several times more than black-and-white pages, so separating them typically lowers the bill wherever you print.

Is this a good free alternative to iLovePDF or Smallpdf?

For the jobs these tools cover, yes. Those are large, well-known services that process files on their own servers and have limits on their free plans. These tools work on your own device with no sign-up or usage caps, and three of them — the colour page separator, the indexed book merge and the exact-KB JPG resizer — are hard to find elsewhere.

Do I have to install software or a browser extension?

No. Everything runs on the web page itself. There is nothing to download, update or uninstall.

Which browsers are supported?

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Samsung Internet, on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iPhone.

Can I use the tools without printing anything with you?

Yes. There is no catch and nothing to buy. We are a printing company in Mumbai who built these for our own customers, and they are open to everyone.
