Popular PDF Jobs
These are common PDF tasks people search for directly. Open the one that matches the file job you need.
Combine files
Merge PDFs
Use this when: you have two or more PDF files and need one combined copy.
Example: combine a signed form, ID page, and receipt into one upload.
Extract pages
Split PDF Pages
Use this when: you only need some pages from a larger PDF.
Example: save pages 3 to 5 from a 20-page packet.
Turn pages
Rotate PDF Pages
Use this when: scans or exported pages are sideways or upside down.
Example: rotate a phone scan 90 degrees before sending it.
Lighter files
Compress PDF
Use this when: a PDF needs a simpler copy that is easier to share.
Example: make a file easier to email or upload to a form.
From photos
Image To PDF
Use this when: you have JPG or PNG pages and need one PDF.
Example: turn four phone photos of documents into one PDF.
Start With These
These are the tools most people reach for first when they just need the problem solved quickly.
Copied PDF text
Remove Line Breaks
Use this when: a paragraph copied from a PDF pastes as one short line per row.
Example: a report paragraph becomes a tall skinny block instead of normal text.
Scan cleanup
Fix OCR Text
Use this when: copied scan text looks garbled or oddly spaced.
Example: “fi” is wrong, punctuation spacing breaks, or words split strangely.
Email list
Clean Email List
Use this when: names and emails need to become one clean address per line.
Example: a CC line or spreadsheet export needs cleanup before import.
Scanner problem
Make Duplex PDF
Use this when: you scanned fronts and backs separately and need one file.
Example: your scanner cannot duplex, so you fed the same stack through twice.
More text cleanup
More Text & List Tools
Use this when: you need CSV cleanup, phone extraction, citation cleanup, repeated header cleanup, or to compare two versions of text.
Example: pull phone numbers from notes, strip [12] references, fix spaced-out OCR text, or remove repeated page titles from pasted text.
More PDF jobs
More PDF Tools
Use this when: you need to merge, reorder, rotate, split, compress, deskew, crop, or convert files into PDFs.
Example: combine multiple PDFs, pull a table into CSV, crop scan borders, or turn images into a PDF.

Remove Line Breaks
Paste copied text from PDFs, emails, or documents and remove unwanted line breaks while preserving paragraph breaks.
Example: a PDF paragraph pasted as one short line after another.
How it works
Fix OCR Text
Clean up OCR output from scans and screenshots by fixing ligatures, line-wrap hyphenation, punctuation spacing, and common formatting noise.
Example: text copied from a screenshot looks garbled or has weird spacing before punctuation.
How it works
Clean Email List
Extract, normalize, validate, and deduplicate email addresses copied from spreadsheets, forms, and CC fields.
Example: names plus emails from a spreadsheet need to become one clean address per line.
How it works
Make Duplex PDF from Simplex Scans
Upload one PDF of front-side scans and one PDF of back-side scans, then interleave them into one duplex PDF.
Example: your scanner cannot do duplex, so you scanned the same stack twice and need one final PDF.
Before & after
Choose the PDF containing page 1 fronts, page 2 fronts, and so on.
Choose the PDF containing the back sides from the second scan pass.
Tip: This tool works best when the front-side PDF is in normal order and the back-side PDF is in the order produced by a second pass through a non-duplex scanner.

Frequently Asked Questions
A few quick answers before you paste anything in.
Does TextFix upload my text or files to a server?
No. Every tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you paste or load is sent anywhere — there is no server receiving your input, no database storing it, and no network request made with your content. You can verify this by opening your browser's network tab while using any tool: you will see no outbound requests carrying your text or file data.
Does TextFix upload my content anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser — your text and files never leave your device. The only network request is the initial page load. Whether that is sufficient for your specific compliance requirements is something you should verify for your situation.
Can it handle large files?
Text tools handle large pastes well — there is no practical size limit for text input. PDF tools load files into browser memory, so performance depends on your device. Most PDFs under 100 MB work without issues. Very large PDFs (several hundred pages or high-resolution scans) may be slow to process on older hardware. If file size is the issue, Compress PDF can help before you pass the file on. There is no file size cap enforced by the site.
What kind of text works best here?
TextFix is built for text that comes out messy after being copied from somewhere: PDFs, scanned documents, OCR output, exported spreadsheets, email threads, contact lists, and CRM exports. If you are dealing with wrapped lines, try Remove Line Breaks. For garbled scan text, try Fix OCR Text. For messy contact lists, try Clean Email List.
Why does copied PDF text have a line break after every sentence?
Most PDFs are laid out for print. Each line is stored as a separate text element with a fixed width. When you copy and paste, those line endings come along, so a single paragraph arrives as dozens of short lines. The Remove Line Breaks tool detects where real paragraph breaks are (two line breaks in a row, or a line ending mid-sentence) and joins the short lines back into flowing paragraphs.
