A practical PDF toolbox

Free online PDF tools for everyday document tasks

PDFNova brings common document jobs into one clear workspace. You can merge PDF files into a chosen order, split out the pages you need, compress a PDF for an upload limit, rotate scans, add a watermark, edit a PDF with new text, or sign a document. Conversion tools cover PDF to Word, PDF to JPG, PDF to PNG, JPG to PDF, Word to PDF, and spreadsheet to PDF workflows.

Each working tool has its own page with relevant options, step-by-step guidance, realistic limitations, and links to useful next steps. Most tools process files on your device. PDF to Word and Word to PDF use a clearly labelled server-assisted conversion because preserving editable document structure and office layouts needs a dedicated conversion service.

No account is required for the public tools. Choose the task that matches your file, review the processing notice, and preview the result before downloading it. If you are unsure which workflow to use, the PDF guides explain common choices in plain language.

Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

Are PDFNova's PDF tools free?

Yes. The working public tools can be used without creating an account or entering payment details.

Do my files get uploaded?

Most tools process files in your browser. PDF to Word and Word to PDF use server-assisted CloudConvert processing, and those pages show that before you begin.

Which PDF tasks can I complete?

You can merge, split, compress, rotate, watermark, sign, annotate, and convert supported PDF, image, Word, and spreadsheet files.

Can I use PDFNova on a phone or tablet?

Yes. The interface works in current mobile browsers, although large files and page-heavy jobs are usually faster on a computer with more memory.

How do I choose between JPG and PNG?

JPG is usually smaller and suits photos. PNG preserves sharp edges and text more clearly, but its files are often larger.
