Common PDF jobs and the tool for each
Combining and splitting
Merge PDF joins files in the order you set; Split PDF pulls out a page range. Both copy pages without re-rendering them, so text stays selectable and quality doesn't drop.
Getting text out
PDF to Text works when the PDF already has a text layer (you can select words in a viewer). Scanned documents are just pictures of pages, so they need PDF OCR, which recognises the characters. OCR is slower and makes mistakes on handwriting and low-contrast scans.
Making files smaller
The PDF Compressor rebuilds the file's internal structure, which helps most with PDFs exported from Word or design tools. It doesn't downsample images, so a scanned 40 MB PDF won't shrink much. Converting pages to images and back is the heavier option when size matters more than selectable text.
Private by default
All the PDF tools run in your browser, so contracts and bank statements aren't uploaded. Very large files (a few hundred pages) can be slow on phones because everything happens on the device.
