A workflow runs several tools one after the other on your files: for example merge, then compress, then add page numbers, then protect with a password. Build it once, save it in your browser and reuse it whenever you want. No account is needed, and your documents never leave your device, even between steps.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to save my workflows?
No. Workflows are saved in your browser. To use one on another device or share it, copy its share link: it contains the steps only, never your files or passwords.
Which tools can be combined?
Merge (as the first step), compress, rotate, remove pages, page numbers, watermark, repair, OCR, PDF/A and password protection (as the last step).
Are my files safe?
Yes. With Helpdf, your files stay on your device. They are never sent to our servers, nobody else can see them and nothing is stored.
Is Helpdf free?
Yes, every tool is completely free with no sign-up and no watermark. The site is funded by advertising.
Does it work on phone?
Yes. Helpdf works in any modern browser on Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows, Mac and Linux. Very large files may be slower on older phones.
