Nesake PDF documentation

There is no sign-up and no upload step. Every tool runs inside the browser tab: the file you pick is read from local disk into memory, edited there, and written back out as a download.

1. 1Open the tools hub and pick the operation you need — merge, split, compress, convert or rotate.
2. 2Drop your file onto the dashed area, or tap it to browse. Nothing is transmitted at this point.
3. 3Adjust the options for that tool: page selection, quality, page size, rotation.
4. 4Press the action button. The rewritten document is handed to your browser as a normal download, named after the original.

Merging creates a brand-new empty document and copies every page of every input into it, in the order shown in the file list. Drag the grip handle on a row to change that order — the list is the export order, top to bottom.

1. 1Add two or more PDFs; each row shows its page count and size so you can confirm the right file.
2. 2Drag rows into the order you want, or remove a file you added by mistake.
3. 3Press Merge. Pages are copied in list order into a single document.
4. 4Check the merged download: page count should equal the sum of the inputs.

Page content, embedded fonts and images are carried across as-is, so text stays selectable and quality is unchanged. Document-level extras such as bookmarks, attachments and interactive form fields are not copied; if you need them, keep the original file alongside the merged one.

After you add a file, every page is rendered to a small thumbnail so you can see what you are selecting. Tap a thumbnail to include or exclude that page. For long documents, type a range instead — 1-3, 5, 8-10 selects pages one to three, five, and eight to ten. Out-of-range numbers are rejected rather than silently ignored.

1. 1Add one PDF and wait for the thumbnail grid to finish rendering.
2. 2Select pages by tapping thumbnails, or type a range such as 2, 5-9.
3. 3Choose Split into individual pages to get every page as its own PDF inside a ZIP.

Delete Pages lets you remove the pages you do not want from a PDF and download a clean copy. The file is rendered to a thumbnail grid so you can see exactly what you are removing, and you can also type a page range like 1-3, 5, 8-10 to select pages in bulk.

1. 1Add a PDF and wait for the thumbnail grid to render.
2. 2Tap the thumbnails you want to remove, or type a range in the input box.
3. 3Review the live counter showing how many pages will remain in the result.
4. 4Press the remove button and download the trimmed PDF.

Extract Pages is the opposite of Delete Pages: you select the pages you want to keep, and the tool writes those pages into a brand-new PDF in the order you selected them. Pages are picked visually or by range, and the live counter shows how many pages will be in the output.

1. 1Add a PDF and wait for thumbnails to render.
2. 2Tap the pages you want to keep, or type a range such as 2, 5-9.
3. 3Confirm the selected count and the number of pages in the result.
4. 4Download the new PDF containing only the chosen pages.

Sign PDF adds a visible signature image to a page of your document. You can draw the signature on a touch or mouse pad, type your name and pick a handwriting style, or upload a photo or scan of a signature you already have. The signature is trimmed to the ink, drawn onto the page you choose, and the document is re-saved locally.

1. 1Add the PDF you need to sign.
2. 2Draw, type or upload your signature and press “Use this signature”.
3. 3Move to the page you want with the page arrows.
4. 4Tap or drag on the page preview to position the signature, then set its size.
5. 5Download the signed PDF.

Compression tries two strategies and keeps whichever produces the smaller file, so the output can never be larger than the input. The first is a lossless re-save: unused metadata is dropped and the document is repacked with object streams. The second rasterises each page — it is rendered and re-encoded as a JPEG at the quality you pick, then embedded into a fresh document.

1. 1Add the PDF; the original size is shown for comparison.
2. 2Pick High for print or close reading, Medium for email and general sharing, Low when size is all that matters.
3. 3Press Compress and read the reported change and which method won.
4. 4If the saving is small, the lossless path won — that file is already efficient.

A PDF stores glyphs at fixed coordinates rather than paragraphs, so conversion reconstructs the document. Every text run on a page is read with its position, size and font name; runs sharing a baseline become a line, wrapped lines are rejoined into a paragraph, and an isolated line noticeably larger than the body text is promoted to a heading. The result is written out as a real .docx package you can edit in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice.

1. 1Add a PDF that has a real text layer — if you can select text in a reader, you are fine.
2. 2Leave Keep formatting on to carry bold, italic and font sizes across; turn it off for a uniformly styled document.
3. 3Turn on One Word page per PDF page if you need explicit page breaks instead of continuous flow.
4. 4Convert, then open the .docx and fix any table or multi-column area that was flattened.

Each page is drawn onto a canvas at the resolution implied by the quality you pick — low for screen sharing, medium for everyday use and high when the image will be printed or cropped — then encoded as a JPG, PNG or WEBP file. PNG stays lossless for sharp text, while JPG and WEBP apply the quality setting to keep files small. Rendering is capped to a fixed pixel budget, so a phone produces the same image as a desktop instead of silently degrading large pages.

1. 1Add a PDF and pick an output format: PNG for crisp text, JPG for small photos, WEBP for the best of both.
2. 2Choose the quality level; higher means more pixels per page and a bigger file.
3. 3Watch thumbnails appear as pages finish rendering.
4. 4Download a single page, or take every page at once in one ZIP archive.

Add as many JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP or AVIF images as you like (anything other than JPG or PNG is re-encoded losslessly to PNG before embedding); each one becomes a single page in a new document, in the order shown in the list. Use the arrows on a row to move an image up or down before exporting — the list order is the page order.

1. 1Add your images and reorder them with the row arrows.
2. 2Pick A4 or Letter to centre each image on a standard page, or Fit to image for borderless pages.
3. 3For standard pages, set the margin and force portrait or landscape if the automatic choice is wrong.
4. 4Export; the images are embedded as-is, so no quality is lost.

Every page is rendered to a thumbnail so you can see which ones are sideways. Rotate a single page 90° left or right with the buttons under its thumbnail, or use the rotate-all controls to turn the whole document at once; changed pages are outlined so the pending edits are easy to review, and Reset clears them.

1. 1Add the PDF and scan the thumbnail grid for pages facing the wrong way.
2. 2Rotate individual pages, or use rotate-all when the whole scan came in sideways.
3. 3Review the outlined pages — outlines mark pending, unsaved rotations.
4. 4Download. The button unlocks once at least one page has been turned.

Rotation is written as the page's own rotation attribute rather than by redrawing the content, so text stays selectable, images keep their original resolution and the file size barely changes.

Protect PDF adds a password to a PDF using standard PDF encryption. The file is encrypted with AES-256 or AES-128 by a compiled WebAssembly build of qpdf that runs entirely in your browser; neither the PDF nor the password leaves your device.

1. 1Add a PDF that is not already encrypted.
2. 2Choose a password and repeat it to confirm there are no typos.
3. 3Pick AES-256 for the strongest compatibility, or AES-128 if an older reader is involved.
4. 4Decide whether printing and copying text are allowed, then encrypt and download.

Unlock PDF removes password protection from a PDF you can already open. You provide the password, the file is decrypted locally with qpdf compiled to WebAssembly, and you download an unrestricted copy. You can only unlock files you have the right to open.

1. 1Add a password-protected PDF.
2. 2Type the password you normally use to open it.
3. 3Press Unlock and wait for the decryption to finish.
4. 4Download the unrestricted PDF and use it with merge, split, compress or convert.

Every failure is surfaced with a message rather than a partially written download. The table below covers the errors people actually hit, what causes them and the fix.

Your file never leaves the browser tab. There is no upload endpoint, no temporary storage bucket and no processing queue, which means there is nothing for us to retain, inspect or delete on your behalf. Closing the tab discards everything.

We do not ask for an account, an email address or a payment method, so no document is ever associated with an identity. If your organisation forbids sending documents to third-party services, this model keeps the work inside your own machine.

Password-protected PDFs are detected before any work begins and rejected with an explanation, because an encrypted document cannot be parsed without its password. Remove the protection in the application that created the file, then try again.

Damaged or non-PDF files fail the same way: with a visible message rather than a partially written download. Very large documents show a size warning first, since thumbnail rendering and rewriting are limited by the memory your device can spare.

Because the engine runs locally, an offline machine is fully supported once the page has loaded — useful for handling documents on an air-gapped or restricted network.

Every release that changed behaviour you can observe, newest first. Documentation is updated in the same release as the change it describes.

The tools are provided free of charge and as-is, for lawful use with documents you have the right to modify. Because processing happens entirely on your device, you remain in control of the input and the output — always keep the original file until you have checked the result.

No warranty is offered as to fitness for a particular purpose, and the maintainers are not liable for loss arising from use of the output. Nothing here creates an obligation to retain your data, because none is collected.
