# PDFJade > Merge, split, convert, sign and edit PDFs for free. No sign-up, and your files never leave your browser. PDFJade is a set of PDF tools that run entirely in your browser. You open a page, choose a file, and the result is built on your own device. - **Where files are processed**: In your browser. The file is never uploaded. - **How long files are kept**: Nothing is kept on a server, because nothing is sent to one. - **Free limits**: No caps on files, pages or tasks. Your device's memory is the practical limit. - **Account**: None - **Price**: Free - **Ads**: None - **Offline option**: No app. Works in any current browser, on desktop and phone Home: https://pdfjade.com/ ## What PDFJade doesn't do - Converting PDF to editable Word, Excel or PowerPoint, or Office files to PDF. Doing that well needs heavy server software. - Editing the existing text of a PDF. You can add text, images and shapes on top in the Studio, not rewrite a paragraph in place. - Signature requests with an audit trail. You can sign a PDF yourself, but not send it to others to sign and track it. - Cloud storage, history or team accounts. Nothing is kept, so there is nothing to come back to. - Very large jobs on weak devices. A 500-page scan on an old phone will be slow, because your phone does the work. ## Tools - [Merge PDF files](https://pdfjade.com/merge-pdf.md): Put several PDFs into one file, in the order you choose.
