Practical Use Cases & Tool Combinations

Combining multiple tools lets you process PDFs more efficiently.

Combine and organize multiple PDFs

Start by merging multiple reports or invoices into a single file with Merge PDF, then use Delete Pages to remove unwanted cover pages or blanks, and finally compress it for easy email sharing.

Extract only the pages you need from a large PDF

Extract only the relevant pages from a large catalog or spec sheet, then compress the result before sharing. The original file remains untouched on your device.

Distribute images as a PDF

Convert scanned documents, product photos, or handwritten notes into a PDF using Image to PDF, then reduce the size with Compress PDF for email delivery or printing.

Convert PDF pages to images for presentations or social media

Extract the target page with Extract Pages, then convert it to JPEG or PNG with PDF to Image to get a clean image ready for presentations or social posts.

Organize and merge password-protected PDFs

Unlock multiple password-protected PDFs with Unlock PDF, then merge them into one file. Everything stays in your browser — your passwords never leave your device.

Single-Tool Use Cases
