Your files never leave your browser. Everything runs locally.
Reshape your PDF without touching the content. Combine multiple files into one, split a long document into parts, compress a heavy report for email, or rearrange, rotate, extract, and crop pages until the structure matches what you actually need.
Turn PDFs into the format you need to work with. Export to Word and Excel, pull out plain text, or save pages as JPG, PNG, SVG, WebP or HTML.
Take Word docs, Excel sheets, images, HTML pages, plain text, and Markdown, and produce a clean, shareable PDF. Perfect for archiving, emailing, printing, or locking a document so it looks identical on every device that opens it.
Mark up, fill in, and finalise PDFs without paying for desktop software. Add or replace text and images, draw freehand annotations, highlight passages, stamp watermarks, and add page numbers, headers, and footers across the document.
Sign, lock, redact, and complete PDFs with confidence. Apply a real-looking signature, password-protect sensitive documents, remove an existing password you own, redact private content permanently, fill interactive forms, and flatten the result.
Go beyond the basics with power-user utilities. Make scanned PDFs searchable with OCR, repair files that refuse to open, optimise documents without losing quality, and strip metadata that could leak author, software, or revision history.
LuraPDF is a free, browser-based PDF editor and converter that puts every common document task in one place. Whether you need to merge a stack of contracts, compress a bloated report for email, split out a chapter from a textbook, or sign a tenancy agreement, the tool you need is one click away. Every operation runs locally inside your browser, so your files never travel to a server, never get logged, and never get scanned.
We built LuraPDF for people who live in PDFs all day: students with research papers, lawyers preparing case bundles, designers exporting mockups, finance teams checking statements, and developers handling documents. There are no upload queues, no daily limits, no watermarks and no signup walls. Pick a tool, drop your file, and get the result in seconds. Every tool is free, with no premium tier to upsell you into.
Three things make LuraPDF different from every other online PDF tool.
Your files are processed in your browser, on your own device. They are never uploaded, never logged, and never seen by anyone else. We do not run a server that handles your documents, because the tools simply do not need one. Confidential contracts, medical records, and personal photos stay on your device, full stop.
There is no upload step and no queue, so work starts the moment you drop a file. Merging, compressing and converting run at the speed of your own device. There are no daily caps and no premium tiers to slow you down.
Every tool on LuraPDF is completely free with no signup, no trial countdown, and no watermarks. We sustain the project with unobtrusive advertising rather than upsells, which means the same fast, private experience for the student converting a thesis and the lawyer preparing a 500-page bundle.
Every tool on LuraPDF follows the same three-step pattern, so once you have used one tool you have effectively learned them all. The whole flow runs entirely in your browser. There is no upload progress bar, no waiting room, and no email link to click before you can use the result.

From dissertations to depositions, here is how different professionals get value out of LuraPDF every day.
Merge research papers into a single reading list, compress dissertations under email size limits, extract relevant chapters from textbooks, and convert lecture slides into editable Word for note-taking. OCR turns scanned library books and old papers into searchable text.
Build evidence bundles by merging hundreds of files, redact privileged information before disclosure, sign engagement letters, and add Bates-style page numbers. Local processing means client confidentiality is not riding on a third-party server's security audit.
Export PDF mockups to PNG and SVG for web embeds, compress portfolio decks for client emails, watermark draft deliverables, and convert vector PDFs into editable formats. Crop margins on print PDFs to reclaim white space for tighter layouts.
Turn Markdown release notes into a PDF, pull text out for search indexing, save HTML pages as PDF, and strip metadata before you publish.
Convert PDF bank statements into Excel for reconciliation, merge expense receipts into a single claim, password-protect financial reports before emailing, and flatten signed contracts so terms cannot be edited after the fact.
Combine handouts into a single course pack, split exam papers into individual question PDFs for grading, add page numbers and headers to lesson plans, and turn JPG photos of whiteboards into searchable, archivable PDF notes.

Most PDF compressors turn pages into images, which removes the searchable text. Learn how to tell which kind of compression you get and when to use each.
Three ways to split a PDF and when to use each: page ranges, fixed batches and one file per page, plus how page numbering works and what carries over.
Exporting PDF pages as images? JPG, PNG or WebP depends on what is on the page. A practical guide to transparency, file size and picking a resolution.
Yes. Every tool on LuraPDF is free to use, with no daily limits, no watermarks and no premium tier. Each file can be up to 100 MB. Everyone gets the same tools, whether you process one PDF a year or fifty a day.
Yes. LuraPDF runs entirely inside your browser, so your files are never uploaded to a server, never logged, and never scanned by us or any third party. The moment you close the tab, every trace of the document is gone from memory. We cannot see your files because no server of ours ever receives them.
No. LuraPDF requires no registration, no email address, and no payment information. Open the page, drop your file, and you are working, exactly the way the web should feel. We do not collect personal data because the tools do not need it to function.
LuraPDF works on every modern browser, including the latest Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Brave, and Arc. The interface is fully responsive and runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iPad, iPhone, and Android. Heavier operations like OCR or compressing very large PDFs naturally run faster on a desktop, but everything is functional on mobile.
Yes. The whole site is mobile-first and works smoothly on phones and tablets. Pick a tool, tap to choose a file from your device, and the result downloads to your device storage like any other file. Performance on phones depends on the size of the PDF and the speed of your hardware, since the work is happening locally.
Yes. Each file you drop can be up to 100 MB. Very large files also depend on your device's memory, so a phone may slow down on the biggest ones. If that happens, split the document into smaller parts first, or use a computer.
LuraPDF runs in your browser, so your files are never uploaded to a server. Many online PDF services upload your files and put daily limits or watermarks behind a paywall. LuraPDF is free, needs no signup, and adds no watermark. The trade-off is that very large jobs run at the speed of your own device.
Mostly. The original pages are kept as they are, so existing text and images stay sharp. Text you add stays real, searchable text. Shapes, drawings, signatures and pictures you add are saved as an image layer on top of the page.
Yes. The OCR PDF tool reads the text in scanned pages and photos of paper documents, right in your browser, and makes it selectable, searchable, and copyable. The page looks exactly as before, because the text layer is added underneath it.
That is the plan. Because the tools run on your device, there is no per-file server cost, so running LuraPDF is much cheaper than a traditional cloud service. We intend to keep every tool free forever, and any future paid features would be added on top, never replacing or restricting what is already on the page today.
100% in your browser. Your files never leave your device. No data is sent to any server, ever.
