When to use it
Handy for occasional merges or compression of small PDFs on the free web tools; heavier editing and OCR need a paid plan.
Before you use it
Our 28 Sep 2026 check: downloading the compressed result required creating an account, and strong compression is PRO-only. Free tools are limited to 2 files per day or 3 MB max. Editing, OCR, forms and translation can be previewed, but saving results needs a subscription.
How to use it
- Pick a tool such as Merge or Compress on Soda PDF Online.
- Upload your PDF.
- Download the processed file.
