About PDF99

We build free PDF tools for everyone — no subscriptions, no watermarks, no compromises.

Who we are

PDF99 is a free online PDF toolkit built by a small team of developers. We got tired of PDF tools that limit their free tier, add watermarks to your output, or require you to create an account just to convert a file. So we built the tools we wanted to use ourselves — and made them free for everyone.

The name came from a simple idea: we wanted to be the tool that does 99% of what people need from a PDF editor, completely free, without the friction that other services build in by design.

What we offer

Right now, PDF99 covers the most common PDF tasks people face every day:

JPG to PDF — convert photos and images to PDF, with drag-to-reorder and live rotation
Compress PDF — reduce file size without losing quality
Merge PDF — combine multiple documents into one
Split PDF — extract pages or ranges from a document
PDF to JPG — convert every page to a sharp image
HTML to PDF — convert web content to PDF in-browser
Rotate PDF — fix upside-down or sideways scans
Watermark PDF — add a diagonal text stamp to every page

We're building more tools regularly. The ones marked "Soon" in the tool grid are in active development.

How we stay free

PDF99 is supported by a single small advertisement on each page. That's it. No user data is sold, no analytics profiles are built, no email lists are grown. The ad revenue covers our hosting and lets us keep building. If you find the tools useful, just knowing that is enough — you don't need to do anything.

Technology

Most of our tools process files entirely in your browser using open-source JavaScript libraries. We use jsPDF for PDF creation, PDF-lib for editing and manipulation, and PDF.js for rendering. Running processing in-browser means your files don't travel to a remote server — it's both faster and more private.

Privacy

We take this seriously. Files that do require server processing are transferred over SSL and permanently deleted within one hour. We never read your documents, analyse their contents, or share them with anyone. Read the full Privacy Policy.
