How it works

Three steps, and the third is the one other PDF sites do not have.

  1. 1

    Pick a tool

    Nothing downloads until you choose one, which is why every page opens straight away.

  2. 2

    Add your file

    Your browser opens it where it already sits. There is no upload, no progress bar and no queue behind other people.

  3. 3

    Download, or keep going

    Take the result — or send it straight into another tool without picking the file again. Compress it, rotate it, strip its metadata, then download once at the end.

Guides

What is actually inside a PDF, written out properly.

What is PDF metadata?The fields every PDF carries — title, author, dates, the software that made it — and which of them travel with a file you share.ReadCreator vs ProducerTwo fields that look interchangeable and are not. Creator names the program you wrote in; Producer names the one that wrote the PDF.ReadCan a PDF reveal its author?What a document actually gives away about who made it, why it is weaker evidence than people assume, and how to strip it before sharing.Read

Why it works this way

The privacy claim is a consequence of the architecture, not a policy we promise to keep.

Nothing is uploaded

Your file is opened by your own browser and stays there. There is no upload endpoint to send it to, so there is nothing on our side to leak, log or sell.

No account, ever

No sign-up, no email, no verification step. Open a tool and use it. We have no accounts at all, so there is nothing to create and nothing to delete.

No limit and no ads

No daily cap, no counter, no watermark on what you download, and no advertising anywhere on the site. Run one file through or fifty.

Common questions

Is it safe to edit PDFs online?

Browser-based tools can reduce exposure when they process files locally. Lyonite’s file workflows run in your browser rather than sending the file to Lyonite for processing. You should still review the output before sharing sensitive documents.

How do I compress a PDF without losing quality?

Use a compression mode that matches the document. Lyonite offers image-based compression for scans, which shrinks the most, and a text-preserving rewrite for documents that need selectable text. If a mode would make the file larger, Lyonite keeps the original instead.

Can I merge PDFs for free without signing up?

Yes. Merging is free with no account, no email and no watermark. Choose your files, drag them into the order you want, and download the combined PDF. Nothing is uploaded at any point.

How do I remove metadata from a PDF?

PDF metadata can include author, creator, producer, dates, document identifiers, XMP and custom properties. Select the PDF in Lyonite’s metadata cleaner and download the rewritten copy. Review the result before sharing sensitive documents, because visible page content and some embedded objects are separate from document metadata.

What's the difference between splitting and extracting PDF pages?

Splitting divides a PDF into several separate files. Extracting creates one new PDF containing only the pages you picked. Use splitting when you need individual documents, extraction when you need a shorter version of one.

Are browser-based PDF tools as good as desktop software?

For everyday tasks — merging, splitting, rotating, compressing, editing metadata — a browser handles it without installing anything. Desktop software is still better for advanced editing, very large files, or specialised PDF features.
