Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm the maker of HugPDF, and I built it out of pure discomfort.
At my last job, I watched a colleague upload a signed employment contract to a "free PDF merger" — a tool that quietly ships your file to a server somewhere. When I asked why, he said: "there's no easier option."
He was right. Every major PDF tool — iLovePDF, Smallpdf, Adobe — works the same way: your files leave your device. So I asked: what if the browser could do all of it locally?
Turns out it can. HugPDF runs 25 PDF tools (merge, compress, OCR, protect, convert...) 100% in your browser using WebAssembly. We are technically incapable of seeing your files — there's no server to send them to.
Also built Arabic support from day one: full RTL interface + Arabic OCR, because 400M+ speakers deserve privacy tools too.
Brutal feedback welcome: What's the one PDF tool you'd want running entirely on-device? 🚀
