PDFNova Tools is a browser-based document workbench offering free online utilities for working with PDF files and related formats. Its suite includes tools to merge, split, compress, organize, edit, and convert documents, with options such as PDF to Word, Word to PDF, JPG to PDF, and PDF to JPG. The service also provides AI-assisted features for summarizing, translating, analyzing documents, and extracting text through OCR.

PDFNova emphasizes local, browser-based processing: most standard tools run on the user’s device, using WebAssembly for speed, while some complex conversions and OCR may use secure server processing. The company says server-assisted OCR is handled in memory and that it does not retain or sell sensitive document content; it also notes that basic diagnostic information may be logged. Security features include encrypted connections for server-assisted processing and an AES-encryption claim.

Core tools are available without registration, subscriptions, watermarks, or hidden fees, though guest usage limits may apply and advertising supports the service.
