A free Smallpdf alternative without the daily limit
Most people meet a PDF site the moment they hit a limit: two free documents today, then a sign-up wall. Tool Genie has no counter, because there is no server doing the work — your browser does it, so processing costs us nothing.
No daily document limit
Compress one PDF or forty. Nothing counts your usage and nothing asks you to upgrade halfway through a task.
Confidential documents stay confidential
Files are never uploaded, so signing a contract or compressing a payslip does not put a copy on someone else's infrastructure.
The full toolbox, not a teaser
Merging, compressing, converting, signing, unlocking, watermarking and page editing are all available on the same terms: free, no account.
No email required to download
The finished file downloads immediately. You are never asked for an address before you can save your own document.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can it be free with no limits?
There is no per-file cost to us: your device does the processing. The site is paid for by ads on the page, which is why the tools themselves stay open.
Can I sign a PDF here?
Yes. You can draw a signature and place it on any page. The signed PDF is assembled locally and downloaded straight from the tab.
Does compression lose quality?
You choose the level. The default keeps text sharp and re-encodes images, which is where the size of a scanned PDF actually comes from.
