22 free PDF and file tools that run entirely in your browser. Merge, split, protect, sign, and convert files with no uploads, no signup, and no daily limits.
Privacy-first file tools like this are exactly what I want to see more of. One small ask: could you add an OCR option for scanned PDFs so they become searchable and copyable right in the browser? Would round out the converter set nicely and save a trip to a separate site.
@muhammed512501Β Hey Muhammed, thanks a lot for this, glad the privacy angle is landing the way I hoped it would.
So we already do OCR in a couple spots β there's a standalone text extractor tool, and our PDF to Word / PDF to PowerPoint converters actually auto-detect scanned pages and run OCR just on those automatically. But what you're asking for is a bit different β you want the actual PDF to stay a PDF, just with a hidden text layer so you can search/copy inside it directly, right? That's not something we have yet, honestly. Good callout though, that's a real gap and it'd fit naturally with everything else here. No promises on timing but it's going on the list.
If you just need the text out for now, PDF to Word will get you there in the meantime.
Thanks again for actually thinking it through instead of just dropping a generic "nice product" ππ»
Ran a couple of PDFs through the merge tool and was pleasantly surprised everything stayed on my device. Simple, fast, and no account nonsense.
@kezban55261Β Ha, that's exactly the reaction we're going for π Thanks for actually testing it out, not just skimming the page. Glad the merge tool held up!
Merged two PDFs and stripped the metadata in under a minute, all without uploading anything. The fact that it runs fully in-browser with zero signup is honestly underrated.
@kadirhakc2dlnΒ Really appreciate this, genuinely. The privacy/no-signup part is the whole reason we built it this way, so it means a lot that it actually came through in practice and not just as a tagline. Thanks for giving it a real shot π
