Unlike online PDF services, your files never leave your device—no uploads, no accounts, no subscriptions, and no tracking.

👋 Hi Product Hunt! I'm excited to share Offline PDF Tools — a privacy-first Chrome extension that lets you edit and manage PDFs completely offline. The idea came from a simple frustration: almost every PDF tool I used required uploading documents to a server. Whether it was merging pages, rotating a document, or adding a password, I had to trust a third-party service with my files. For sensitive documents, that never felt ideal. So I built Offline PDF Tools. Everything runs locally inside Chrome using modern web technologies. Your PDFs never leave your device, and there are no accounts, subscriptions, uploads, or tracking involved. Current features include: 📑 Merge PDFs ✂️ Split PDFs 📋 Extract pages 🔀 Reorder pages 🗑 Delete pages 🔄 Rotate pages 🔒 Protect PDFs 🔓 Unlock PDFs 📉 Compress PDFs 💧 Watermarks & page numbering 🛠 Repair PDFs ✍️ Edit metadata ↩️ Undo / Redo 📋 Action Presets My goal is to provide a practical alternative to cloud-based PDF tools while keeping privacy and simplicity at the center of the experience. I'd love to hear: • Which PDF tools do you use today? • What features would you like to see next? • How important is offline processing and privacy in your workflow? Thank you for checking it out and for any feedback you share! 🙌
