About Pdf2Go

What this site is

Pdf2Go is a free collection of 28 document utilities, 24 of which are working today. It exists because most PDF jobs are small and urgent — flip a page, drop a chapter, shrink a file under an email limit — and they should not require an account, a subscription, or handing a confidential document to a stranger's server.

How the tools work

Every available tool runs inside your browser using JavaScript. Your file is read into the memory of this tab, processed there, and returned to you as a download. The document bytes are never transmitted to us, which means there is no upload queue, no storage, and nothing for us to leak. Closing the tab discards everything.

That approach has honest limits. Very large files depend on your device's memory, and a few jobs — true OCR, high-fidelity Office conversion — cannot be done well in a browser yet. Those are marked Coming soon instead of shipped in a broken state.

How it is funded

Pdf2Go is supported by clearly labelled advertising placed away from upload, download and navigation controls. We do not sell document data, because we never receive any. Ad slots stay empty until legitimate ad code is in place, so you will not see filler.

Editorial approach

The guides in our library are written to be useful without a product pitch, and are reviewed before publication. Read the editorial policy for how content is produced and corrected.
