About PunchPDF

Free PDF tools that punch above their weight.

Why PunchPDF exists

PunchPDF started inside a chartered accountancy practice, where PDFs are handled all day, every day — financial statements, tax filings, bank statements, signed agreements. Uploading those documents to random "free PDF tool" websites was never acceptable, so we built our own toolkit that processes everything locally in the browser.

It worked so well that we decided to polish it and make it free for everyone — individuals, students, and businesses alike.

What makes it different

• Your files never leave your device. There is no upload. Processing happens in your browser's memory using open-source JavaScript libraries.
• Genuinely free. No page limits, no daily quotas, no watermarks, no sign-up walls. Commercial use is welcome.
• Fast. No upload/download round-trip means results in seconds, even on slow connections.
• Works offline-ish. Once the page is loaded, processing needs no internet at all.

The tools

• Merge PDF — combine PDFs and images into one file
• Split PDF — extract or separate pages
• Compress PDF — reduce file size for email and portals
• Organize PDF — reorder, rotate and delete pages
• Watermark PDF — text or image stamps
• Page Numbers — flexible numbering formats
• Images to PDF and PDF to Images
• PDF to Excel — extract tables to spreadsheets
• Word to PDF — convert .docx in the browser
• Protect PDF — password-encrypt locally

How it stays free

PunchPDF is supported by unobtrusive advertising. Ads never interfere with the tools, and because your documents are processed on your own device, no ad network ever has access to your files.
