Research work,
made a little easier.

A colourful, focused workbench for citations, writing, and PDF tasks. Most document processing happens in your browser; arXiv lookup requires an internet connection.

Writing & references

arXiv ID to BibTeX

Fetch paper metadata and create a BibTeX citation.

Word counter

Count words and characters as you draft.

Words: 0 · Characters: 0 · Characters (no spaces): 0

PDF page splitter

Save every page of a PDF as its own file.

PDF page extraction

Create a new PDF from selected pages or page ranges.

Use page numbers as shown in the PDF, starting at 1. Separate pages and ranges with commas.

PDF & figures

PDF merger

Combine several PDFs in the order you select them.

Images to PDF

Arrange image files into a single PDF, one image per page.

No images selected.

PDF rasteriser

Re-render pages as JPEG images to reduce file size in some cases.

This rasterises pages: searchable text, vector graphics, links, and some accessibility features may be lost. It may not make every PDF smaller.
