Why use this tool?

Use this free browser utility when you need a focused result without installing desktop software or creating an account. The workspace is designed for a single task, with the input, controls and output kept together.

Privacy, compatibility and limitations

Page numbers are drawn on top of existing content and can overlap text in cramped margins. Choose a placement with free space. Document digital signatures may become invalid.

Before you download: Check the output visually or technically before replacing an original file. Browser support, device memory and source-file structure can affect results.
