About MakeMyPDF

MakeMyPDF is a free collection of PDF tools for merging, splitting, compressing, rotating, watermarking, signing, and converting PDFs.

Why we built this

Most PDF work should not require a heavy account flow or a page full of distractions. MakeMyPDF keeps the tools direct so you can finish the document task and leave.

Some workflows can run in the browser. Others need server-side processing because they are too large or specialized for JavaScript alone. The interface tells you what kind of processing a tool needs.

How it works

Every tool marked "Browser-only" processes your files entirely in JavaScript using pdf-lib and PDF.js. No network request is made. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tools will still work.

A small number of tools — OCR, password protection, and heavier compression — require server-side processing because those workflows are too large or specialized for the browser. For those tools, files are sent to our API over an encrypted connection, processed, and deleted immediately after the result is returned. We never store your files.

Technology

The site is built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, pdf-lib, PDF.js, and server-side document tooling for workflows that need it.
