• Merge → Merge PDF — combine unlimited files with drag-to-reorder
• Split → Split PDF — extract pages, split into chunks
• Convert to images → PDF to JPG — every format, every DPI
• Images to PDF → Image to PDF — combine photos into documents
• Rotate → Rotate PDF — fix sideways scans
• Add page numbers → Page Numbers
• Protect → Password Protection
• OCR → PDF OCR — make scanned PDFs searchable
• Sign → Sign PDF — add signatures without printing

Why Processing Speed Matters

PDF2Go and similar tools queue your files on shared servers. During peak times, a simple merge can take 30-60 seconds — not because the operation is complex, but because you are waiting behind other users.

Browser-based tools use your computer's processor. A merge operation that takes 30 seconds on a queued server takes 2-3 seconds locally. For someone processing multiple PDFs (assembling a loan application, organizing legal filings), the time savings compound quickly.
