PDF guides, straight to the point
How to do the thing you came here to do — and what to watch out for. Every guide ends on the free tool that does it.
How to edit a PDF
Correct a name, a date or an amount directly in the page, and add what is missing.
How to edit a scanned PDF
A scan is a photograph of a page. Here is how its words become clickable text.
How to sign a PDF
Draw, type or import a signature, place it on the page, download the signed file.
How to merge PDF files
Join several files into one document, in the order you choose, without uploading them.
How to compress a PDF
What actually makes a PDF heavy, and how much you can remove before it shows.
How to convert a PDF to Word
For a rewrite rather than a correction: get an editable .docx and work in Word.
How to split a PDF
Extract a page, cut a file in two, or turn one scan into separate documents.
How to password protect a PDF
Real encryption, not a setting a reader can ignore — and what a password does not protect you from.
How to convert JPG to PDF
Several photos into one document, in the right order, at a size an inbox will accept.
How to convert Word to PDF
A Word file reflows on somebody else's computer. A PDF does not. That is the entire point.
How to convert a PDF to JPG
Each page becomes a picture. Choosing the resolution is most of the decision.
How to rotate a PDF and save it
Your reader's rotate button lasts until you close the tab. This one is written into the file.
How to add a watermark to a PDF
A watermark marks a document. It does not protect it — and knowing the difference matters.
How to add page numbers to a PDF
A merged document with no page numbers is a document nobody can refer to out loud.
How to remove a password from a PDF
For a document you can already open. It is not a way into somebody else's file.
How to write a proof of accommodation letter
Who writes it, what it must say, and what to attach so the file is not sent back.
How to write an invoice
The lines an invoice must carry, how to number them, and what to say about payment.
How to write a rent receipt
The tenant's proof that a month was paid — and the landlord's proof of the same.
How to write a resignation letter
Four lines is enough. The trouble comes from the fifth one, when people explain too much.
How to cancel a contract in writing
Gym, insurance, broadband: the cancellation itself is easy. Proving you sent it is the part that matters.
How to write a formal notice letter
The last letter before a court. Its job is to be quoted later, so it states facts and a deadline.
How to write a power of attorney letter
A letter that lets one named person do one named thing for you — and nothing beyond it.
How to write a sworn statement
You state your own facts and sign your own name. That is the whole document, and its whole limit.
How to write a rental agreement
Six facts, written down before anyone moves in, settle most of what landlords and tenants argue about.
How to write a quote for a customer
A quote is an offer you can be held to. Its most useful line is the one saying what is not included.
How to write a CV that gets read
One page, in reverse order, with numbers in it. Most of the work is deciding what to leave out.
How to make a company stamp
Customers expect one on a quote or a delivery note. It proves nothing, which is worth knowing first.
Your files stay in your browser
Unlike most online tools, veryfreePDF does the work locally on your device: nothing is uploaded, stored or read by anyone. The four Office and web conversions are the exception — a browser cannot render those formats faithfully, so they run on our secure server, in memory, and the file is deleted the moment the conversion ends.
