Potato PDF is a free online toolbox for everyday file tasks. Merge, split, compress, edit, sign and convert PDFs to and from Word, Excel, PowerPoint and images — plus OCR, a passport photo maker, image tools and AI writing tools. Many tools run entirely in your browser, so files never leave your device; anything processed on the server is deleted within 24 hours. No installs, works on phone and desktop.
