How To Use PeacefulPDF

Using PeacefulPDF is simple and secure. Here’s a general guide:

  1. Select a Tool: Navigate to the homepage or use the sidebar/menu to choose the PDF tool you need (e.g., Merge PDF, Compress PDF, PDF to JPG).
  2. Upload Your File(s): Each tool page features a file upload area. You can either:
    • Drag and drop your PDF file(s) directly onto the designated area.
    • Click the upload area to open your file browser and select the file(s) from your computer.
    For tools that require multiple files (like Merge PDF or JPG to PDF), you can usually select multiple files at once.
  3. Configure Options (If Applicable): Some tools may present options after you upload your file(s). For example:
    • Reorder Pages: Drag and drop page thumbnails to change their order.
    • Split PDF: Select ranges or specific pages to split.
    • Resize PDF: Choose a target page size.
    • Add Watermark: Enter the text for your watermark.
    • Sign PDF: Upload a signature image.
    Follow the on-screen instructions for the specific tool.
  4. Process Your File: Click the main action button (e.g., "Merge PDF", "Compress PDF", "Start OCR"). The processing happens entirely within your browser. Please wait for it to complete – larger files or complex operations may take a moment.
  5. Download Your Result: Once processing is finished, a download button or link will appear. Click it to save the resulting file directly to your computer.
