About IwillPDF

IwillPDF is a free set of online PDF tools — merge, split, edit, convert — built and run by one developer, and designed so your documents are never stored.

Who runs this site

IwillPDF is built, maintained and operated by Joel Thomas, an independent developer based in India. It is an independent project, not a company product — there is no team behind a support alias, and mail sent to [email protected] reaches the person who wrote the code.

That is worth saying plainly, because the internet has a lot of anonymous PDF sites and you are about to hand one of them a document.

What the site does

Everyday work with PDFs — combining a scan with a form, pulling three pages out of a fifty-page report, rotating something that came out of a scanner sideways — usually means either desktop software you do not want to install or a site that asks you to sign up first. This one asks for neither.

The tools currently cover:

  • Organising — merge, split, extract pages, remove pages, reorder and rotate.
  • Editing — add text and annotations in the browser, or edit existing text with the advanced editor.
  • Converting — images to PDF, and PDF pages to images.
  • Finishing — page numbers and watermarks.

How your documents are handled

Files are processed and returned. They are not saved to disk, not written to a database, and not read by anyone.

Every tool runs inside your browser: the file is opened and processed on your own device and is never sent to our server. There is nothing on our side to keep, because nothing arrives.

This is a design decision rather than a policy promise: there is no storage layer to forget to clear. The trade-off is that there is no file history, so download your result when it is offered.

You do not have to take that on trust: the offline page shows how to check in your browser that a file is not uploaded, and how to use the tools with no connection. The full detail, including how advertising on the site works, is in our Privacy Policy.

How it stays free

Servers cost money and the tools do not. The gap is covered by advertising shown around the tools — never inside your file, and never selected using anything about the document you are working on. If you would rather not see personalised ads, the opt-out links are in the privacy policy.

There is no free tier designed to frustrate you into paying, because there is nothing to pay for.

Get in touch

Bug reports, a PDF that came out wrong, a tool you wish existed, or a press or partnership enquiry — all go to the same place: [email protected].

A file that failed is much easier to fix if you say which tool you used and what you expected to happen. Please do not attach confidential documents to a bug report.

Choose what IwillPDF may use. You can come back and change this at any time from “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.
