Compress PDF

Shrink a PDF by recompressing its images at a level you choose, while text and vector graphics stay sharp.

Merge PDF

Join several PDF files end to end in the order you arrange, keeping every page exactly as it was.

PDF to Word

Turn a PDF into an editable DOCX that keeps the page layout, pictures, simple tables and fonts, or reflow it into paragraphs.

JPG to PDF

Place JPG photos on PDF pages without recompressing them, sized to each photo or to A4, Letter and other papers.

Compress to Target Size

Enter a size limit in megabytes and let progressively stronger compression try to bring the PDF under it.

OCR PDF

Recognize the words in scanned pages and add an invisible text layer so the PDF can be searched and copied.

Why VelloDoc?

Common PDF jobs shouldn’t require an account, an app install or a paid conversion service. VelloDoc processes files on its server with open-source engines, keeps each upload in a temporary folder only while the job is running, and deletes it after the result is delivered.

Conversions run on VelloDoc's server with established open-source software like PyMuPDF, Ghostscript, LibreOffice, Tesseract OCR and WeasyPrint. Your document isn't sent to a third-party conversion API.

About

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about accounts, file limits and what happens to your files after a task.

Still have a question?Contact us
Is VelloDoc free?

Yes. All 82 tools are free to use, with no account, no paid tier and no watermark added to your files.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Choose a tool, add your file and download the result. VelloDoc has no sign-up and keeps no file history.

What happens to my files?

Files are uploaded over HTTPS to VelloDoc's server, processed in a temporary job folder and deleted as soon as the result is delivered. Failed jobs are deleted immediately, and an automatic cleanup removes an interrupted job after 30 minutes. The file security page has the details.

Do my files stay in my browser?

No. VelloDoc processes files on its server. This makes demanding work like OCR and office conversions possible. If a document must never leave your device, use offline software instead.
