PDF Tools

Merge, split, and convert PDFs

From merging and splitting to compressing, rotating, cropping, protecting, and watermarking — our PDF suite handles every document workflow you need, whether that's assembling a contract packet, shrinking a scan for email, or pulling three pages out of a fifty-page report. All processing happens locally using pdf-lib, which means files that contain contracts, IDs, or financial statements are read and rewritten inside your own browser tab and never pass through a server. No account, no watermarks added to your output, no arbitrary file-size ceiling.

PDF Tools — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using pdf tools on ForgePlug.

Are these PDF tools really free?
Yes, every PDF tool on ForgePlug is completely free. Merge, split, compress, rotate, crop, protect, unlock, watermark, add page numbers, and convert PDFs — all without paying a cent or creating an account.

What's the maximum file size I can process?
The practical limit is your device's available memory. Most PDFs up to 100 MB work reliably on modern devices. Larger files may take longer or require more memory, but there are no hard artificial limits.

Is there a watermark on the output files?
No. ForgePlug never adds watermarks to any output files. The PDF you download is clean, professional, and ready to use — whether it's a merged document, a compressed file, or a converted PDF.
What browsers are supported for PDF tools?
All PDF tools work on the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Some features like PDF preview rely on the browser's built-in PDF viewer, which is available in all modern browsers.
