PrivaX is a privacy-first Chrome extension for image or PDF processing. Unlike most online tools, your files never leave your device. Built with WebAssembly, everything runs 100% locally in your browser — no uploads, no cloud processing, no tracking, no network requests. Compress JPEG/PNG/WebP/AVIF images, convert formats, batch process 50+ files, split or merge PDFs, convert PDF pages to HD images, combine images into PDF, and strip EXIF metadata. Fully offline, open source, and free forever.
Hey PH! 👋
I built PrivaX out of a real workplace problem.
I work in banking, and my documents are strictly confidential before they go into production. Every time I needed to compress images or split/merge a PDF, the only options were online tools that upload your files to their servers. That's a hard no when you're handling financial materials.
So I thought — what if everything just happened locally?
PrivaX processes files 100% in your browser using WebAssembly. Not "we delete your files after processing" — literally zero network requests. Don't trust me? Open DevTools → Network tab while using it. You'll see nothing. 🔍
What it does:
• Image compression: PNG 4.2MB → 890KB (79% reduction), batch 50+ files
• PDF split & merge with drag-and-drop page reorder
• PDF ↔ Image conversion (export pages as PNG/JPG/WebP, or combine images into PDF)
• EXIF metadata stripping
• All with no visible quality loss, works fully offline
It's completely free.
I'd love your feedback:
→ What file processing tasks do you wish could be done locally?
→ Any features you'd want to see next?
Happy to answer anything! 🙏
