Privacy & Security

Your files are safe

Files uploaded for PDF processing are temporarily stored only to complete the task and automatically deleted after 1 hour. We never share your files with anyone.
No. Tools like Text Diff, JSON Formatter, JWT Decoder, Regex Tester, and most developer tools run entirely in your browser. Nothing is ever sent to our servers.
Never. We do not sell, share, or transfer your files or data to any third party.
For highly sensitive documents, we recommend browser-based tools like PDF Compare or PDF Editor which never upload your file. For server-side tools, files are deleted within 1 hour over an encrypted HTTPS connection.
PDF Tools

Merge PDF

1

Upload your files

Click "Select PDF files" or drag and drop multiple PDFs onto the upload area.

2

Reorder if needed

Drag the files to reorder them. The merged PDF will follow this order.

3

Click Merge PDF

Your merged PDF will download automatically in seconds.

You can merge as many PDFs as you need. There is no hard limit on the number of files.
Each file can be up to 100MB. For very large files, performance depends on your internet connection speed.

Split PDF

1

Upload your PDF

Select or drag your PDF file onto the upload area.

2

Choose split mode

Select Extract pages (e.g. 1-3, 5, 7-9), Split every N pages, or Split all pages into individual files.

3

Download your files

Your split PDF files will download as a ZIP archive.

Select "Extract pages" mode and enter a range like 1-3, 5, 8-10. This extracts only those pages into a new PDF.

Compress PDF

1

Upload your PDF

Select the PDF file you want to compress.

2

Click Compress

The tool automatically compresses your PDF while preserving quality.

3

Download

Your compressed PDF downloads automatically with size reduction shown on screen.

PDFs with scanned images or high-resolution photos are harder to compress. If your PDF is already compressed or contains vector graphics, size reduction will be minimal.

Convert Files to PDF

GetPDFMint supports: Word (.docx, .doc), Excel (.xlsx, .xls), PowerPoint (.pptx, .ppt), and Images (JPG, PNG, WebP).
This can happen with complex layouts or custom fonts. For best results, accept all tracked changes and embed fonts before converting.
Use the PDF to Text tool to extract text content. Full PDF-to-Word conversion with layout preservation is on our roadmap.

Other PDF Tools

Use the Watermark PDF tool. Upload your PDF, type your watermark text or upload an image, choose opacity and position, then download.
Use the Protect PDF tool. Upload your PDF, enter a password, and download. The password is never stored on our servers.
The PDF Editor runs entirely in your browser. Add text, shapes, drawings, or annotations directly on pages. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Developer Tools

Text Diff Tool

1

Paste your texts

Paste the original text in the left box and modified text in the right box.

2

Click Compare texts

Differences are highlighted โ€” additions in green, deletions in red, moved lines in blue.

3

Use the options

Toggle Real-time, Char diff, No wrap, Ignore whitespace/case, or select syntax highlighting for code.

Word diff highlights changed words. Char diff highlights individual characters โ€” useful for spotting single-character typos.
When Real-time is enabled, the diff updates automatically as you type โ€” no need to click Compare. There is a 600ms delay to avoid updating on every keystroke.
A "moved" line (shown in blue with a โ†• badge) means that line exists in both texts but changed position. GetPDFMint automatically detects moved lines โ€” most other tools do not.
No. The Text Diff tool runs 100% in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.

JSON, JWT & Developer Tools

Go to JSON Formatter, paste your JSON, and it will be instantly formatted and validated. Errors are highlighted with line numbers.
Go to JWT Decoder and paste your token. The header, payload, and expiry are shown instantly. Note: this only decodes โ€” it does not verify the signature.
No. All developer tools run entirely in your browser. No data is ever transmitted to our servers.
