Compress PDF, merge PDF, split PDF, convert PDF to JPG, run offline OCR, and compress or resize images — all without uploading a single file. PDFixel is a privacy-first PDF editor and image compressor with 26 tools that run entirely on your own device. No account, no sign-in, no telemetry, no watermarks. Most online PDF and image tools send your tax forms, contracts, ID scans, invoices and photos to someone else's server. PDFixel does not. Every tool runs locally in your browser using WebAssembly codecs and a bundled offline OCR engine — so your files stay on your computer, and everything keeps working on a flight, on a train, or with no internet at all. WHAT PEOPLE USE PDFIXEL FOR • Compress a PDF under 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB or 1 MB for a government portal, exam form or job application • Resize and compress a photo or signature to an exact KB size for visa, passport and online application forms • Merge scanned pages and phone photos into one clean PDF before emailing or uploading • Split a large PDF and pull out only the pages you actually need • Copy text out of a scanned PDF, a screenshot or a receipt using offline OCR • Convert PDF pages to JPG or PNG, and convert JPG or PNG back into a PDF • Remove the background from a logo, product photo or a signature on paper • Blur or pixelate account numbers, faces and addresses before sharing a screenshot • Stamp a CONFIDENTIAL watermark or add page numbers to a contract • Print 4 pages per sheet, or lay out a fold-and-staple booklet WHY PDFIXEL • 100% local processing — no file uploads, no server cache, nothing to leak • Works fully offline — no network, no problem • Instant — no upload queues, no download waits • Real codecs — MozJPEG, WebP, AVIF and OxiPNG compiled to WebAssembly • Metadata stripped — EXIF, GPS coordinates and camera fingerprints removed on export • 26 tools in one extension instead of a dozen single-purpose add-ons • Genuinely usable free tier — 10 documents a day, every tool unlocked, no watermarks PDF TOOLS

MERGE PDF AND IMAGES Combine PDFs, scans and photos (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF) into one document. Mix formats, drag pages to reorder, merge unlimited pages.
SPLIT PDF AND EXTRACT PAGES Split by fixed intervals (every 2 pages), by custom ranges (1-4, 7, 10-15), or burst every page into its own file.
COMPRESS PDF Two engines. Lossless stream rebuilding strips redundant objects and deduplicates fonts with no visible quality loss. High-reduction rasterisation re-encodes pages at 72, 150 or 200 DPI to force large scans under strict upload limits.
EXTRACT TEXT AND OFFLINE OCR Native PDFs give up their text layer instantly. Scanned PDFs, photos and screenshots go through a bundled Tesseract OCR engine that runs in your browser — no OCR API calls, no image uploads. Each page reports its own confidence score.
ROTATE PAGES Rotate one page, a selection, or the whole document by 90, 180 or 270 degrees in either direction.
PDF TO JPG AND PNG Render pages as raster images from 72 DPI screen resolution up to 300 DPI print quality.
REPAIR DAMAGED PDFS A lenient parser rebuilds broken XREF tables, fixes invalid headers and reconstructs damaged page trees that normal viewers refuse to open.
N-UP AND BOOKLET IMPOSITION Fit 2, 4, 6, 8 or 9 pages per sheet to save paper, or reorder pages into a fold-and-staple booklet with exact duplex printing instructions.
WATERMARK Stamp custom text across pages — CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, COPY or a company name. Control angle, size, opacity, colour, and single or tiled placement.
PAGE NUMBERS, HEADERS AND FOOTERS Sequential numbering for contracts and legal bundles. Six positions, custom prefixes and suffixes such as "Page {n} of {total}", font choice, and automatic cover-page skipping.
PASSWORD PROTECT PDF Apply standard password encryption to financial statements and private documents.
REMOVE PDF PASSWORD Strip password restrictions from documents you are authorised to open, for archiving and automated workflows.

IMAGE TOOLS

COMPRESS AND CONVERT Move between JPEG, PNG, WebP and AVIF with real codec controls. JPEG: progressive mode, chroma subsampling (4:2:0 for size, 4:4:4 for sharp text), greyscale, trellis quantisation. WebP: lossless mode, effort tuning, alpha quality, sharp YUV. AVIF: high-efficiency encoding with effort and detail control. PNG: lossless re-packing, transparent pixel cleanup, Adam7 interlacing.
TARGET FILE SIZE SOLVER Stop guessing quality percentages. Type the size you need — "under 150 KB" for a portal, form or application — and an iterative binary search finds the highest quality that still fits your byte budget.
BACKGROUND REMOVAL Turn logos, product shots, portraits and photographed signatures into clean transparent PNGs. Multi-colour sampling, border auto-detection, edge-connected matching so white clothing does not vanish against a white wall, brightness-independent tolerance for uneven lighting, plus soft alpha ramps, fringe trimming, boundary blur and speckle fill.
IMAGE TO TEXT (OCR) Pull unselectable text out of screenshots, camera photos and receipts straight to your clipboard or a text file. English OCR runs locally.
RESIZE AND ASPECT RATIO Resize by percentage, by maximum edge, or to exact pixels. Fit, cover, pad or stretch. 20 built-in presets including Instagram 1080x1080, Story 9:16, YouTube thumbnail 16:9, X headers, LinkedIn banners and web icons.
CROP AND COMPOSE Free crop with an interactive box, or snap to 9 ratios (3:1, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 9:16). Rule-of-thirds grid, 9-point anchors, horizontal and vertical flip.

CANVAS EDITOR A lightweight non-destructive layer editor for annotations and quick fixes.

Layer stacking for secondary images, stickers and overlays with blend modes
Text blocks with font, tracking, line spacing and colour control
Arrows, callout boxes, ellipses, badges and divider lines for docs and bug reports
Freehand brush with adjustable thickness, colour and smoothing
Per-layer filters — brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, invert, sepia, greyscale
Blur and pixelate redaction for account numbers, passwords, faces and addresses
Magnetic snapping and alignment guides to layer centres, edges and canvas bounds
EXIF inspector showing camera, lens, ISO, shutter, aperture and GPS — all sanitised on export
