Hi everyone!
I built iCreatePDF out of sheer frustration with existing online PDF tools.
The Problem
Almost every popular PDF website requires you to upload your files to their remote servers to perform simple tasks like converting an image, merging pages, or adding page numbers. When dealing with sensitive files like tax documents, bank statements, contracts, or identity cards, uploading them to a third-party server is a massive privacy risk. The alternative is paying expensive monthly subscriptions for heavy desktop software.
Our Approach: 100% Local
iCreatePDF changes that. By leveraging modern browser capabilities and compiled WebAssembly (Wasm) engines (pdf-lib, pdfjs-dist, and heic2any), all calculations and document rendering happen entirely inside your browser sandbox. Your data never leaves your computer. In fact, once the web app loads, you can turn off your internet completely and all 36 tools will continue to work perfectly offline.
How the Project Evolved
What started as a simple script to convert iPhone HEIC photos into PDFs has grown into a comprehensive client-side PDF workspace containing 36 individual utilities. We've recently overhauled the interface to feature a minimal, modern, dark-mode SaaS design to make document editing clean and enjoyable.
The project is also fully open source, and you can check out the source code or host it yourself on GitHub: https://github.com/barath0508/iC....
I d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and any features/tools you d like to see added next!
