# Free PDF tools

*Last reviewed: September 2, 2026 · [HTML version](https://docfindapp.com/tools/)*

Small tools that answer one question each. **They run entirely in your browser** — no upload, no
sign-in, no account, nothing stored. Whatever file you choose stays on your machine, which is the same
rule the app follows.

Some PDFs are text and some are photographs of text. They look identical on screen, and only one of
them can be searched. Choose a file and this tells you which kind you have — and, if it is a scan,
what to do about it.
