One of the things I like to present to you most on this blog is free online tools. And we are lucky, because there are a lot of them. Many that work, many that disappear and many that appear. And this is the case of Clever PDF, an online toolbox for manipulating your PDFs !
And there are no less than 20 tools that Clever PDF offers you for free on its home page. These 20 tools are organized into 3 categories:
- Convert PDFs to documents
- Convert documents to PDF
- Other Tools
So you will be able convert PDF to most common formats used by everyone, namely Office type documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), their Apple equivalent (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), but also in images (JPG, BMP, PNG or TIFF) or in electronic books (Epub).
Conversely, CleverPDF allows you to convert Word, Excel, PowerPoint and even images files to PDF files.
Finally, among the free tools, we find all the essentials:
- PDF password protection
- unlock password protected pdf
- PDF Merge (allows you to combine multiple PDF files into one)
- PDF split (allows you to isolate pages from a file)
- adding text or image watermark
- PDF rotation
- inserting page numbers
- compressing PDFs to make them lose weight
I tested some of these tools with some files of varying sizes and frankly the service works well and is relatively fast.
No matter which tool you use, the process is very simple:
- Select or drag and drop the file you are interested in
- set some options if necessary (output file format, compression level...)
- start the job by pressing start
- download your final file
A little extra, for those who are angry with the language of Shakespeare, this site is entirely and correctly translated into French (which is not always the case for this type of tool).
Finally in matters of security, you can rest assured. The files you uploaded are deleted automatically after 30 minutes. You can also manually delete the file from the server instantly after conversion.
In short, CleverPDF is a very good free online toolbox to manipulate your PDFs. Keep it in your favorites!
