About PDFTool
PDFTool is a privacy-first online PDF Tool. Merge PDFs, split PDF files and detect text in scanned PDF files with ease, without an account and without ad-clustered websites. As all processing happens directly in the browser, you can even go offline after opening the required tool page. This ensures that nobody can see your precious PDF documents.
