PDFem

PDFem gives you a solid set of PDF and image tools without asking you to sign up or pay anything. The basics are all there — merge multiple PDFs into one, split them apart, compress file sizes, convert between PDF and Word/Excel/PPT/images. But it goes beyond the basics too.

On the AI side, there's a PDF Summarizer that condenses long documents and a ChatPDF tool that lets you ask questions about your PDF content and get answers back. Pretty handy when you're dealing with dense reports or research papers.

The image tools section handles things like HEIC to JPG conversion (useful if you take a lot of iPhone photos), WebP conversions, image compression and resizing. There are also some less common PDF tools like Bates numbering for legal docs, PDF/A conversion for archiving, redaction and metadata removal.

Everything runs server-side with real conversion engines, not some wrapper that renames files. Uploaded files are cleaned up automatically after processing.
