Crush File Size

Converts text to images to aggressively reduce file size. Great for e-filing limits.

How it works: Each page is rendered as a JPEG image and stitched back into a new PDF. This works well for scanned or image-heavy files. Simple text-only PDFs are already very compact, so this process may produce a larger file — in that case, keep your original.

Bates Label

Stamp Bates numbers onto every page. Multiple PDFs are numbered continuously and download as a ZIP.

Sign Document

Add your signature and a date stamp to any page. Drag to position; grab the corner handle to resize.

Flatten PDF

Strip every hyperlink, annotation, OCR layer, embedded JavaScript, and attachment by rasterizing each page. Filled-in form values are preserved — they get baked into the page first, so the output looks exactly like the document would if you printed it and scanned it back in. Drop one PDF or many; bulk runs produce a ZIP. Output is purely visual.

PDF to Print (8.5×11)

Normalize wonky page sizes to standard US Letter — same as Cmd+P → Save as PDF, but built into the workflow. Drop one or more PDFs; each is fit-to-page with margins, no print dialog required.

Redact PDF

Drag a box anywhere on the page to mark redactions. Pick a reason first (Privilege, Attorney-Client, etc.) and every box you draw gets that reason burned in as a label. Switch reasons anytime — each new box uses the currently-selected reason. On apply, redacted pages are rasterized and the marked areas are painted opaque black before embedding, so the underlying text, vectors, and images are physically destroyed in the output, not just covered.

Split PDF

Pick a color, paint pages with it, name the group. Each color group exports as its own PDF. Add as many colors as you have splits. Pages not assigned to any color stay out of the output. Shift-click a thumbnail to paint a range from your last click to it.

Watermark PDF

Stamp every page with custom text. Tune font, size, color, opacity, rotation, and position. Live preview shows your watermark on the first page of the first PDF. Drop one or many; outputs a ZIP when multiple. Output keeps the original PDF's quality.

Markup PDF

Add highlights and comments to any page. Drag to draw a yellow highlight, or click Add Comment then click on the page to drop a sticky note. Drag any markup to reposition; double-click a comment to edit.

Convert to PDF

Drop JPGs, PNGs, HEICs, or PDFs. Reorder via drag. Export each as its own PDF, or combine into a single file. Optional: force every output page to US Letter so the result looks like you hit Cmd+P → Save as PDF.

Word (.docx) is not currently supported. We'd like to add it, but Microsoft Word's layout engine is proprietary and the open-source replacements drift far enough from real Word output that the conversion can't be trusted for legal use. The most reliable route is to open the file in Word and use its own File → Save As → PDF. We'll revisit when a faithful local renderer becomes practical. PDFs pass through (rasterized to letter only if you toggle that). HEIC needs a one-time ~7 MB decoder load on first use.

Explore Metadata

Inspect every metadata field embedded in a file: EXIF, XMP, PDF info dict, Office document properties. Copy as plain text for pasting into an LLM, or download as structured JSON for programmatic context.

Scrub Metadata

Remove every author, location, device, software, comment, and revision history field embedded in a file. PDFs lose their info dictionary and XMP stream (the Producer field will show pdf-lib as a processing artifact, but all original identifying values are gone). Images are re-encoded without EXIF/IPTC. Office docs get their core/app properties replaced with blanks.

Reorder Pages

Drag any page thumbnail to a new position. The output PDF preserves all original page content (vectors, fonts, text) — only the page order changes.

Add Exhibit Cover Pages

Drop one or more PDFs. Each gets an exhibit cover page (default 72pt Times Bold underlined ALL CAPS “EXHIBIT A”) prepended. Drag to reorder; letters auto-renumber. Add an optional description for each. Export combined or as separate files (each prefixed with its exhibit letter).

Exhibit Stamp

Apply a classic exhibit sticker to one or many PDFs. Each file gets the next letter (A, B, C…) automatically. Choose the designation (Plaintiff's, Defendant's, State's, etc.), stamp every page or only page 1, optionally include the page number, and pick the color. Default is the standard yellow box with black border.
