PDF tools
Merge, split, reorder and convert — all of it in your browser. The documents people put through a PDF tool are contracts, statements and scans of identity papers, and none of them should be uploaded to a stranger's server to be reshuffled.
- Merge PDF files Drop the PDFs you want joined, put them in the right order, and save one file. Nothing is uploaded.
- Split a PDF Drop a PDF, say which pages you want, and get them as a new file. Nothing is uploaded.
- Compress a PDF Drop a PDF and BriskFile will tell you which kind of document it is before changing anything. Nothing is uploaded.
- Sign a PDF Draw a signature and place it. Neither the document nor the signature is uploaded.
- Remove a PDF password Takes the encryption off, given the password. RC4, AES-128 and AES-256 all opened.
- Redact a PDF Removes the text rather than covering it — there is nothing left underneath.
- Reorder and delete PDF pages Drop a PDF, move pages around or drop the ones you do not want, and save. Nothing is uploaded.
- Images to PDF Drop your images, choose a page size, and get a PDF with one image per page. Nothing is uploaded.
- PDF to JPG Drop a PDF and each page comes back as a JPG. Nothing is uploaded.
- Password protect a PDF Real AES-256, applied in the tab. The document and the password both stay put.
- Watermark a PDF DRAFT or CONFIDENTIAL across every page, at a strength you can read through.
- Add page numbers Any corner, any starting number, and sideways pages numbered the right way up.
- Extract text from a PDF Get the words out of a PDF as plain text you can paste anywhere. Nothing is uploaded.
- Rotate a PDF Turn the whole document or just the pages that came in sideways, and save it that way for good. Nothing is uploaded.
- Edit PDF properties Author, title and dates, which travel with the file whether you meant them to or not.
Why this one is different
iLovePDF, Smallpdf, PDF24 and Adobe all do the same thing with your file: send it to a server, process it there, and delete it according to a retention policy you cannot verify. That is a reasonable engineering choice and it is how they can offer OCR and compression that genuinely need horsepower.
But merging, splitting and reordering do not need a server at all. They are structural edits to a container format, and a browser can do them in milliseconds. BriskFile does them locally — so there is no upload, no queue, no file-size cap and no "processing… upgrade to download".
What quality is lost
For merge, split and reorder: none at all. Pages are copied as objects, not redrawn, so text stays selectable and searchable, vectors stay sharp at any zoom, and embedded images keep their original compression.
Converting a PDF to images is the exception — that turns text into pixels permanently, which is the right trade only when you actually want a picture.
