Choosing a tool

Which PDF tool should I use?

Merge PDF

Use this when several PDF files should become one document.

Split, Extract, and Delete PDF Pages

Use these when you need only certain pages or want to remove pages from a document.

Reorder and Rotate PDF Pages

Use these when pages are in the wrong order or scanned sideways.

Add Watermark to PDF

Use this for simple text watermarks. Image or logo watermarks are planned for later.

Images to PDF

Use this for image-heavy documents, scanned pages, and printer-friendly PDF output presets.

Common use cases

What these tools are useful for

  • Combine scanned documents, invoices, forms, or reports into one PDF.
  • Split or extract pages when only part of a document is needed.
  • Delete, reorder, rotate, crop, or watermark PDF pages before sharing.
  • Convert images into a PDF for uploads, printouts, or simple document bundles.
  • Use print-friendly image PDF presets when a printer struggles with large image-heavy files.
Local processing: LocalMini PDF tools are designed for browser-based document tasks. For local PDF tools, selected files are processed in the browser rather than intentionally uploaded to a LocalMini server.

PDF Tools FAQ

Are my PDF files uploaded?

Current LocalMini PDF tools are designed to process files in your browser. Large files can still use significant memory on your device.

Can I merge password-protected PDFs?

Password-protected or encrypted PDFs may not work in browser tools unless your browser and the PDF library can read them.

Can I edit the text inside a PDF?

These tools focus on page-level tasks such as merge, split, rotate, crop, watermark, and extract. They are not full PDF text editors.

Can I make image-heavy PDFs easier to print?

Use Images to PDF with the Print-friendly or Printer-safe preset. These presets flatten and downsample images before creating the PDF, which can help ordinary printers process the file faster.

Should I keep a backup of the original PDF?

Yes. Always keep the original file until you have checked the downloaded output.
