PDF is the universal document format — used for contracts, invoices, reports, academic papers, and everything in between. But working with PDFs has traditionally required expensive desktop software or clunky online tools riddled with upsells. RoughTools changes that by offering 31 professional-grade PDF tools that are completely free, permanently free, with no account required and no watermarks on your output files.
Whether you need to compress a 50 MB PDF to fit an email attachment limit, split a combined invoice batch into individual files, convert a scanned receipt into a searchable document using OCR, or digitally sign a contract without printing a single sheet of paper — every task has its own dedicated tool here, built to do exactly that job and nothing more. No bloated feature lists, no confusing menus. Just upload, configure, and download.
Every tool in this collection is designed with privacy as a first principle. Your documents are processed on isolated servers and deleted automatically within one hour. We do not read the content of your files, we do not sell data, and we do not require you to create an account that stores your upload history. What happens to your documents stays between you and the tool.
