# AdaPDF

> AdaPDF provides free PDF conversion, editing, organization and reading tools at https://adapdf.net. The available tools work with local files in the browser and do not require an account.

Choose a tool for the result you need, select your files, review the preview and download the output. Document contents are processed on your device; the website uses Google Analytics for website usage statistics. Support: support@AdaPDF.net.

Output quality depends on the source file and chosen settings. Compression may not reduce an already optimized PDF or reach a requested size. OCR recognizes printed text and needs review. Office conversions can change complex layouts. Cropping hides content and is not secure redaction; a visible signature is not a certificate signature. Keep originals when working with signed documents.

Online processing is currently unavailable, including website-URL capture, document translation, PDF chat, audio generation, PDF/A conversion and certificate signing or verification. HTML to PDF accepts local HTML files or pasted HTML. The links below describe available tools and their limits; they are web pages, not file-processing APIs.
