Merge all layers and elements of a PDF into a single layer in seconds. It’s fast and free to flatten PDFs for enhanced document integrity, reduced file sizes, and easier sharing on any system.
Our Flatten PDF tool lets you quickly merge all elements of a PDF into a single layer. Turn complex interactive documents into simple, secure PDFs for perfect printing and sharing.
Flattening a PDF permanently embeds all content into the document—from text and images, to annotations and form fields. This prevents information tampering and maintains document integrity.
With flattened PDFs, you know that even the most complex PDF layouts print like you see them on screen. Even multiple overlays like forms and graphics print with perfection.
PDFs are universally shareable and viewable. But some systems struggle with complex multi-layered documents. When you flatten a PDF, these compatibility issues disappear.
