About Sparrow Files

Sparrow Files is a small, focused set of PDF tools: online in your browser, and as a free converter for your Windows PC.

What it does

Sparrow Files lets you merge, split, compress, rotate, watermark and convert PDFs, and convert between images and PDF. Pick a tool, drop in a file, and download the result.

How the online tools work

Every online tool on this site uses open-source JavaScript libraries (such as pdf-lib and pdf.js) running directly on your device. When you choose a file, it is read into your browser's memory, processed there, and turned into a download — it is never transmitted to a server. That means we never see, store, or have access to the contents of your files.

The Windows PC app

If you want to convert PDF to Word, create PDFs from Word files, or extract text, you can download our free PDF converter for Windows 10 and 11. It is installed on your computer and works without an account. Because it is separate software from the website, it has its own license agreement and privacy information, shown when you install it.

Who's behind it

Sparrow Files is an independent web tool. If you have questions, see our Contact page.
