About PDFya

Last updated: 6 October 2026

PDFya is a free website for the everyday things people need to do with a PDF: merge several, keep just a few pages, make it smaller, convert a Word document or some photos, or add a password.

Who it is for

Anyone. There is nothing to install, no account to create and no technical knowledge needed: pick the tool, select the file and download the result. It works the same on desktop and mobile.

How it handles your files

• They are sent encrypted and processed in a few seconds.
• They are deleted as soon as the job is done. They are not stored, reviewed or shared.
• Previews are generated in your own browser.

See the privacy policy for details.

What it does not do

PDFya does not guess passwords, does not edit the text of a PDF and has a size limit per file. For very large documents or advanced editing you will need a desktop program.

Who is behind it

PDFya is an independent project. If something does not work or you are missing a tool, write to us.
