Frequently asked questions
Choose a task and understand what happens to your files.
Which tool should I use?
Use Merge PDF to combine documents, Split PDF to extract pages, or Compress PDF to reduce size. Image Tools handles image tasks; the collage maker arranges photos.
Does processing change my original file?
Tools create a separate result. Your original file on your device remains unchanged. LibreOffice converts DOCX and PPTX on the server, preserving supported images, tables, page layouts and slide layouts. Fonts may be substituted and complex elements may differ, so compare the PDF with the source before sharing. For scans, OCR can recognize words but names and numbers need checking.
How long are uploaded PDF documents kept?
Uploaded PDFs expire after 5 minutes for guests, 2 hours for free accounts. Scheduled cleanup removes expired files. Downloads require the matching account or guest identity.
