How does it actually work with bigger files though, like a 200-page PDF split — does the browser ever slow down since everything is running locally?
@nihatsaydak7de Good question! Since everything runs in your browser using JavaScript (pdf-lib + WebAssembly), here's how it handles large files:
- A 200-page PDF split works fine — pdf-lib processes it in memory. Tested up to 300+ pages without issues.
- For very large files (50MB+), it depends on your device's RAM. Modern phones with 4GB+ RAM handle it easily. Older devices with 2GB might feel a slight lag.
- The browser tab uses more memory temporarily during processing, but frees it after download. No permanent slowdown.
- Tip: if you're splitting a 200-page file into individual pages, it generates a ZIP — that part takes a few extra seconds but works reliably.
The main bottleneck is device RAM, not internet speed (since there's no upload/download wait). A laptop handles large files faster than a phone simply because of more available memory.
Let me know if you hit any limits — happy to optimize for specific use cases!
The client-side approach is a nice touch, especially for the PDF tools since I never have to worry about sensitive docs sitting on some random server. Tried the background remover on a product photo and it did a clean job without nagging me to sign up.
The client-side approach is genuinely impressive, no uploads means no waiting around for slow servers. The OCR in Hindi and Tamil is a nice touch since most tools only handle English well.
Love that everything runs client-side, it's rare to see a free toolkit that genuinely keeps your files in the browser instead of farming them out to some sketchy upload server.
