Why Nivo PDF?

Private by design

Most processing happens on your device. Server conversions use isolated, temporary storage and are deleted automatically.

Free, no strings

No account, no watermarks, no daily limits, no “premium” features. Supported by ads that never get in the way of your work.

Real results

True redaction, AES-256 encryption, verifiable digital signatures and conversions checked before you download them.

Honest about limits

Every tool tells you what it can and can't do — like when a PDF's text can't be edited in place.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Every tool is free to use, with no sign-up, no watermarks and no usage limits. The site is supported by advertising.

Are my files uploaded?

Most tools — including merge, split, compress, edit, sign, protect, redact, OCR and PDF to Word/Excel — run entirely in your browser, so your files never leave your device. A few conversions (Word/Excel/PowerPoint/RTF/HTML to PDF, PDF/A, PDF to SVG, repair and web optimisation) need server software; each of those tools says so clearly, and the files are deleted automatically within minutes — immediately after you download the result.

Can I edit the existing text in a PDF?

Often, yes. Click the text and type: the editor removes the original characters and redraws your text in the document's own font, size and colour (characters the embedded font lacks use a matching open font). Some PDFs encode text in ways that can't be edited in place; the editor detects this and tells you. Scanned PDFs contain images, not text — run OCR first.

Does redaction really remove the text?

Yes. Redaction deletes the underlying text from the file, not just covers it. Where content can't be removed exactly (for example text inside an image), the page is converted to an image with the area blacked out, so nothing remains.

What's the maximum file size?

Browser tools are limited only by your device's memory — hundreds of megabytes work on most computers. Server conversions accept up to 100 MB per operation.

How good are PDF to Word and PDF to Excel conversions?

Text, headings, fonts sizes, bold/italic, lists and tables are rebuilt so the result is editable. Complex layouts with multiple columns or text over images are approximated — every converter page lists its known limitations.
