SoraFiles - Free private PDF & image tools with no file uploads

Hi Product Hunt! I built Sora Files because the first step in most online PDF and image tools is an upload—even when the job can run entirely inside a modern browser. Sora Files takes a local-first approach. Supported files are read and processed on your device, then the browser creates a separate download. Nothing is uploaded to Sora Files, there is no account requirement, no watermark, and the original file is never overwritten. The toolkit currently includes: • an all-in-one image converter for JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF, SVG, ICO, HEIC/HEIF, TIFF and PSD workflows • image compression and resizing for JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and HEIF • PDF compression • merge, split and rotate PDF • PDF to JPG and JPG/PNG to PDF • basic PDF to Word and Word to PDF conversion I wanted the privacy promise to be architectural rather than just a policy sentence. Local processing avoids upload time and removes the question of how long a remote service retains a confidential contract, identity document, tax form or private photo. There are honest trade-offs. PDF compression rebuilds pages as images, so selectable text, links, forms, signatures, bookmarks and accessibility structure are not retained. Word/PDF conversion is intentionally basic and text-first, and very large files remain limited by device memory. The interface explains these limitations before processing. Everything is completely free today. I would love feedback on which local-only tool is missing, which workflows need batch support first, and whether the privacy explanation feels clear and verifiable.
