## PDFToolsBase: Free PDF Tools in Your Browser
PDFToolsBase is a collection of online PDF utilities from Takenick Innovation. It helps you prepare, organize, convert, and inspect documents without creating an account or installing desktop software.
### What you can do
* **Organize documents:** Merge files, split page ranges, extract pages, rotate sheets, and change page order.
* **Convert content:** Turn supported images into PDFs, render PDF pages as images, and extract text into supported document formats.
* **Edit and prepare:** Add text, images, page numbers, watermarks, and drawn signatures.
* **Work with scans:** Run browser-based OCR with English and Hindi options to recognize text in scanned pages.
* **Inspect and manage:** View metadata, check page counts, and work with supported PDF forms.
* **Reduce file size:** Use image-based compression when searchable text is not required.
### A browser-first workflow
Selected files are processed on your device rather than uploaded to PDFToolsBase's servers. Outputs do not receive a PDFToolsBase watermark. URL and webpage tools may contact the destination you enter, and the site uses separate analytics and advertising services.
### Choose the right tool
PDFToolsBase suits students, office users, freelancers, and small teams handling everyday document tasks. Each tool describes its workflow and relevant limitations.
Compression rebuilds pages as images, removing text selection and searchability. OCR accuracy depends on scan quality, and conversions may not preserve the original layout. Large or complex files depend on your browser's memory and device performance.
