Hey Product Hunt! I’m thrilled to introduce LocalPDF to the community! Why I built this Like many of you, I regularly need to merge, compress, split, sign, or edit PDFs (tax forms, legal contracts, client documents, and bank statements). But every time I used traditional online PDF converters, I felt uneasy knowing that my confidential documents were being uploaded to remote, third-party cloud servers. Most online tools either harvest your documents, place arbitrary 5MB limits unless you pay, or make you wait in queues. I asked myself: Why do we need a remote server to process a PDF in 2026? How LocalPDF is different: LocalPDF is built from the ground up to run 100% in your browser: 0 KB Uploaded to Cloud: All document parsing, rendering, OCR, and compression happens locally inside your browser engine via WebAssembly and JavaScript. Zero bytes of your documents ever touch a server. Audit-Ready Privacy: Open your DevTools (F12) Network tab you will see zero document payloads sent over the wire. Offline & PWA Support: Turn on Airplane Mode or disconnect your Wi-Fi the tools still work seamlessly. No Limits & No Paywalls: No file size caps, no hourly queues, and no sign-up required. What’s included: Over 20+ tools including: Compress, Merge, Split, Edit, Sign, Watermark, OCR, Word to PDF, PDF to JPG, Protect/Unlock, Flatten, and Page Numbers. I’d love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or edge cases with large documents! What tool should we build next? Thank you so much for the support! ❤️
