By tool

Organise pages

• Merge PDF: Combine two or more PDFs into one, in the order you choose.
• Split PDF: Cut one PDF into several files by page ranges, or one file per page.
• Rotate PDF: Turn some or all pages by 90, 180 or 270 degrees.
• Delete pages: Remove the pages you do not need and keep the rest.
• Reorder pages: Drag the pages into a new order, or type it, and save the result.
• Pages per sheet: Print 2, 4, 9 or 16 pages on one sheet, or fold a booklet.
• Split spreads: Cut scanned two-page spreads into single pages at the fold, in reading order.
• Remove blank pages: Find the empty pages a scanner left behind and delete them.
• Add bookmarks: Write a PDF's table of contents: titles, pages and levels, in any language.
• Document bundle: Put PDFs together behind an index that links to each document, with a bookmark per document, page numbers straight through and the file opening at 100%.
• Split a scanned bundle: One scanned PDF holding many documents becomes one PDF per document. Where each starts is found (a blank sheet, the page number back to 1, a title such as Invoice or Receipt), shown on the pages for you to check, and each is named by kind, date and company in a ZIP with a folder per kind.

Convert

• Images to PDF: Turn photos and scans (JPG, PNG, iPhone HEIC and more) into one PDF, one image per page.
• PDF to images: Save each page of a PDF as an image, at the resolution you choose.
• PDF to Word: The text of a PDF as an editable Word file (.docx), with headings, page breaks and ruled tables. Your files are never uploaded.
• PDF to text: A PDF's text, in reading order, as one plain text file (.txt). Any app opens it, and Orihako Chat's library takes it.
• PDF to table: The words of a PDF placed in rows and columns by where they sit, saved for Excel (.xlsx) and as a CSV. Check it against the page.
• Read a PDF aloud: The PDF's text, read by your computer's own voice: check a contract by ear, listen to a paper on the move. The text is sent nowhere.
• Summarize PDF: The browser's built-in AI lists the key points of a PDF. Your files are never uploaded.
• Extract images: Save every picture in a PDF as its own image file, at full quality.
• Text recognition (OCR): Read the text of a scanned PDF so you can search and copy it. The text is also saved as a text file.

Edit and sign

• Sign and send back: Put your signature or seal and the date on a PDF you received: it is fixed into the page, made smaller and named "<name>_signed.pdf", ready to attach to your reply.
• Fill and sign: Type into a PDF form, then add text, the date, check marks, your signature or a seal anywhere.
• Crop PDF: Trim white margins automatically, cut a fixed margin, or keep an area you draw.
• Change page size: Scale pages to A4, A3, Letter and other paper sizes, centred, without losing sharpness.
• Lock form entries (flatten): Fix filled-in form fields and comments into the page, so nobody can change them.
• Proofread (repeats, mixed spellings): Checks the PDF's text for repeated words, mixed punctuation and spellings, full-width letters, half-width kana, unclosed brackets and very long sentences, and lists them by page and line (HTML and CSV). The PDF is not changed.
• Page numbers: Add page numbers, a header or a footer, such as 3 / 12 or Confidential, to every page.
• Bates numbering: Stamp every page of one or many PDFs with a running number such as ABC000001, continuing from file to file, with a CSV log of each file's range.
• Exhibit labels: Label each PDF as Exhibit A, B, C (or Exhibit 1, Pièce n° 1, 甲第1号証) on its first page, name the files after their labels and get the list of exhibits as a PDF and a CSV.
• Watermark: Put text such as CONFIDENTIAL, or your own image, across the pages, translucent, at any angle. Place it by hand in the preview.
• Stamp: Press a square or round seal with up to four lines of text, like a company seal or a date stamp.

Security and privacy

• Black out (redact): Paint black boxes over words or areas; the pages under the boxes become pictures, so the text is truly gone.
• Remove author info: Remove the hidden author name, title, dates and software name from a PDF before you send it.
• Check before sending: Before sending a PDF, one press answers "can I send this?": hidden text, author details, comments, earlier versions, personal data in the text, whether it has a password, attached files and scripts. Each thing to fix comes with the tool that fixes it.
• AI Mask a PDF: Makes a .txt of the PDF's text with company and people's names, amounts, phone numbers and more replaced by placeholders like 【Company A】 and 【Phone 1】. Ask ChatGPT or Claude with it; the answer gets the real names back on the AI Mask page.
• Scanner-storage check: For each page of a scanned PDF, reads the resolution (200 dpi or more) and the colour depth (colour, 256 levels) on your device and makes a report (CSV and a printable HTML) against Japan's scanner-storage rule. The file is not changed.
• Protect with password: Encrypt a PDF so it asks for a password when opened.
• Remove password: Take the password off a PDF you know the password of.

Compress, compare, sort

• Compress PDF: Make a PDF smaller, especially one with photos, with almost no visible change. Handy for email and upload limits.
• Fit a mail's size limit: Make a PDF small enough to send by email. It is first made smaller without changing any picture; if that is not enough, photos go to the standard quality; if it is still too big, it is cut between pages.
• Compare two PDFs: See what changed between two versions: removed words in red, added words in green, side by side, saved as a PDF.
• Rename invoices: Name invoice PDFs by date, issuer and amount automatically, check the table, download with a CSV index.
• E-invoice reader (Factur-X, ZUGFeRD): Read the invoice data attached inside Factur-X, ZUGFeRD and XRechnung PDFs: seller, number, dates and amounts into a CSV, the XML saved beside, files renamed from it.
