Changelog
Click pages instead of typing numbers
- Remove Pages, Extract Pages, Split PDF and Reorder Pages show every page as a thumbnail: click the pages, cut between them, or drag them into order.
- Reorder Pages starts from the original order, so it no longer fails until every page is typed in.
- Remove Pages refuses to delete every page or none at all, instead of saving an empty PDF.
- PDF to Images saves JPG or PNG at 72, 150 or 300 dpi.
- Drop a PDF or a photo on the home page and pick what to do with it.
- PaperKit can be installed as an app and opens without a connection once you have used it.
- Your desk: the home page counts the files you have handled and the megabytes that never left your device. The tally stays in your browser.
Cleaner text and every tool in the footer
- PDF to Text keeps the line breaks of the page, and says so when a PDF has no text to extract (a scan) instead of saving an empty file.
- The footer lists every tool and guide.
OCR, scanning, repair and a new look
- OCR PDF: make scans searchable with a hidden text layer, or export the recognised text. English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
- Extract Images: pull every embedded picture out of a PDF as JPG or PNG.
- Repair PDF: rebuild files with a broken index or a cut-off end, with a page-image rescue mode for the worst cases.
- Scan to PDF: camera capture, corner straightening with automatic corner detection, document clean-up filters.
- Tools that produce several files now download one ZIP, with individual files still available.
- Workflows can unlock at the start and password-protect at the end.
- Fonts are served from this site instead of Google Fonts.
- About, Privacy and Changelog pages.
- New look: the site is a cutting mat with your paper on it, and each tool has its own drawing.
- The All tools menu now opens as a panel across the header instead of running off the window.
Real compression, passwords and photo tools
- Compress PDF re-encodes the images inside a PDF, with four levels and a fit-under-a-size target.
