Haven PDF edits, merges, signs, OCRs and converts PDFs entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device. No upload, no account, no payment. Works offline (PWA), in 14 languages.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Every free PDF tool I tried made me upload my files to a server. For anything sensitive — contracts, IDs, invoices — that never sat right. So I built Haven PDF: a full PDF editor that does everything locally in your browser. The file never leaves your device (you can verify in devtools — there's no backend to send it to). All client-side: • Edit PDF text, add images, highlight & annotate • Merge / split / rotate / delete & reorder pages • Sign, watermark, page numbers, compress, grayscale • Word → PDF and PDF → Word • OCR scanned PDFs (31 languages) • Password protect / unlock (256-bit AES) • True redaction that permanently removes content Free, no sign-up, installable as an app (PWA, works offline), and available in 14 languages. Would love your feedback — and especially weird PDFs that break it 🙏 → https://havenpdf.com

Does the OCR engine actually run locally in the browser, or does it hit an external service for the text recognition part?

@ekinsbzl ocr engine runs locally on browser only NO SERVER UPLOAD anywhere in the project. It uses webkit and js libraries

Runs completely offline which is a huge plus for anyone handling sensitive docs. Merged a 30 page file and OCR'd a scanned one without it ever leaving my laptop.

@gkeaksoyakhabw I am glad you put it to good use.

Ran a scanned contract through the OCR tool and it pulled out the text cleanly without sending anything to a server. Nice to have something this capable work fully offline.

@esragvob gracias 😇
