PDFWix is a free online PDF toolkit — 24 tools to merge, split, compress, convert, edit and sign PDFs with no watermarks, no signup, and no daily task limits. Twenty-two tools run entirely in your browser via WebAssembly, meaning your file never leaves your device. The remaining two tools (Protect PDF and Unlock PDF) process files in server memory only and never write to disk. PDFWix works on any device — Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and Chromebook — with no app installation required.

How PDFWix compares

Most free PDF tools online come with hidden restrictions: daily task caps, watermarks on output, forced account creation, or file size limits. PDFWix was built to remove every one of those strings. Compared to iLovePDF, Smallpdf, and PDF24 — the three most-used free PDF platforms — PDFWix is the only option with no daily limits, no watermarks, no signup requirement, and browser-based processing for the majority of tools. iLovePDF caps free users at two tasks per day. Smallpdf requires an account after two conversions and adds watermarks on some outputs. PDF24 has no task limits but does not offer browser-only processing.
