About PDFHive

PDFHive is a set of free tools for everyday PDF jobs: merging, splitting, converting and more. It is an independent project, built to be simple, quick and respectful of your privacy.

How it works

Most online PDF tools upload your files to their servers. PDFHive works differently. When you use a tool, the processing happens inside your web browser, on your own computer or phone. Your files are never uploaded, so they never leave your device.

This also means there is nothing to install and no account to create. Open a tool, pick your files, and download the result.

What it costs

The tools are free. To pay for running the site, we may show advertising in the future. Ads will never be placed in a way that gets in the way of the tools, and our Privacy Policy will be updated before any are added.

Limits

Because everything runs on your device, very large files depend on how much memory your computer or phone has. A modern computer handles most files easily; older phones may struggle with very large ones. Each tool warns you when a file is unusually big.
