Two Free Online Tools to Manage Your Documents Easily

There is nothing quite like not being able to find the right tools to edit and adjust your documents to waste time — or try your patience.

Not all of us are web experts or image professionals, so we do not necessarily have the right software to hand when it comes to retouching a photo, changing its size or format, compressing a document, and so on.

We have therefore decided to introduce you to two online tools that will make your life easier for this sort of small task. They may sound modest, but they are genuinely game-changing. Our advice: bookmark the links below!

ilovepdf

Forget Acrobat DC Pro — ilovepdf, as its name suggests, can help you rework your PDF files with ease.

This type of file — "Portable Document Format" — has the specific property of preserving all the layout characteristics of a document, regardless of the software, operating system, or computer used to view or print it. Fonts, colours, images… nothing shifts. Which is rather important.

With ilovepdf, you will have access to more than twenty operations for managing your PDF documents.

Layout

• Merge PDFs: handy when you need to send a single multi-page document

• Split an existing PDF: turn each page of your PDF into an independent page or extract the one(s) you need

• Rotate a PDF

• Organise a PDF: sort the pages of your file into the correct order

Format conversion

• Compress a PDF: to reduce its file size while optimising quality — useful before sending, for example

• Convert a PDF to an Office suite document: convert your PDFs to Word, PowerPoint, or Excel

• Convert an Office suite file to PDF: also convert your Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, and Word documents

• Convert a PDF to JPG: all the images contained in, or each page of, a PDF can be extracted and saved as a JPG file

• Convert a JPG to PDF: conversely, you can convert simple JPG images into a PDF file

• Convert an HTML page to PDF: simply by copying and pasting the page's URL

• Convert a PDF to PDF/A: useful for archiving

Editing file content

• Edit a PDF: you can add elements to an existing document (image, text, shape…)

• Number the pages

• Add a watermark: using an image or text, place a transparent element over your document (to prevent copying, for example)

• Sign a PDF: add your electronic signature directly, without needing to print and then scan your document

Security

• Unlock a PDF: this action allows you to remove the password from a PDF so you can use it as you wish

• Protect a PDF: conversely, you can encrypt a PDF file that will only be accessible to those with the password

• Repair a PDF: allows you to restore a damaged or corrupted PDF document

iloveimg

In the same family as the previous site, iloveimg allows you to make modifications to your images without having to install a photo editor such as Photoshop, GIMP, and so on.

Here again the features are numerous, though it is worth noting that they do not allow you to edit the actual image content.

Let us look instead at what you can do, with complete simplicity, via iloveimg for JPG, PNG, and GIF formats.

• Compress an image: probably one of the most-used features — reducing the file size of an image without losing quality

• Resize an image: choose the size you want to apply to your photo

• Rotate an image

• Crop an image: keep only a portion of your image

• Convert to JPG: transform PNG, GIF, TIF, or RAW images into JPG

• Convert from JPG: transform your JPGs into PNG or GIF images (animated GIF if you select multiple JPGs)

• Convert HTML pages to image: by copying and pasting the URL of the page in question

• Edit photos: to make simple modifications to your images — text, effects, frames, or stickers

• Apply a watermark

• Generate memes: create a meme (viral image) from your own photos or from templates

Editing your images and PDFs is now child's play. No more panic when someone asks for a specific format before sending, or when a file is too large.

These two FREE tools will be your new best allies for effortlessly managing all your documents. You have our word!
