About Don’s Free PDF

Free PDF tools for everyday work, without giving up your privacy.

Don’s Free PDF exists so that anyone can merge, shrink, organize, sign and protect PDF files without buying Adobe Acrobat, creating an account, putting up with watermarks, or running into a daily limit after a few tasks.

Private by designYour PDF is opened and changed inside your own web browser. It is not sent to us or anyone else.

No account neededNo sign-up, email address, trial period or artificial daily limit.

Clean resultsYour files come back without our logo or a watermark.

How your documents are handled

When you choose a file, your browser reads it into its own memory on your device. All the work—merging, compressing, encrypting, redacting—happens there using code that runs in the page. When you download the result, it is saved straight to your device. When you close or reload the page, the file is gone from memory. We never receive your documents, passwords, signatures or the text inside your files.

What it costs

The tools are free to use with no account or daily limits. To keep the site running in the future, we may show clearly labeled advertising. If that happens, this site and its Privacy Policy will be updated first, and ads will never be placed where they could be clicked by accident or slow down your work.
