Launching ZANCTA tomorrow. It does PDF and image work entirely in the browser - the file never gets uploaded to a server. I built it because sending a tax document or a photo with location data to a random free PDF tool never felt right. Honest question for makers here: when you pick a file tool, is it processing locally / no upload the thing that makes you switch from the incumbent, or a bonus you notice but do not choose on? Trying to decide whether to lead the launch with the privacy angle or the convenience angle (one app, many tools, no signup). Would rather nail one message than dilute both.
ZANCTA brings 17 PDF, image, and utility tools into one browser app. Merge, split, compress, convert, extract text and metadata, clean EXIF, resize, generate checksums and QR codes, and run OCR. Supported browser-local workflows process selected file bytes in your browser instead of uploading them to ZANCTA for conversion. Free tools are available without an account; Premium adds extra OCR languages and scanned-PDF OCR at ₹199/month or ₹999/year.
