PDF Engineer: Privacy First PDF Editor, Image editor & Screen Recorder 50+

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I’m Aditya, the maker of PDF Engineer, and I’m super excited to share what I’ve been building with you today! 🚨 The Problem We All Ignore

Think about the last time you had to compress a passport scan under 100KB for a visa portal, edit a date on a signed contract, merge bank statements, or score your resume.

Almost all of us Google a "free online converter" and upload our most sensitive personal documents to a random remote server—only to get hit with a "2 tasks per day" paywall, a watermarked export, or a $19/month subscription trap.

I asked a simple question: Modern browsers can run 3D games via WebAssembly—why are we still uploading PDFs and photos to external servers just to edit or compress them?

⚡ Enter PDF Engineer (100% Local • 0 Bytes Uploaded)

PDF Engineer is an all-in-one offline document, image, career, and screen studio that runs 100% inside your browser’s local RAM (as a Chrome Side Panel extension + an interactive web sandbox).

You can literally turn off your Wi-Fi, open your browser’s Network tab, and process confidential files with 0 bytes transmitted externally.

🔥 6 Standout Tools You Can Test Right Now:

1. Direct PDF Text Editor: Click any word, paragraph, date, or invoice figure directly on a PDF page to type replacements while automatically matching the original font and color.

2. Smart Portal KB Compressor (<100KB / <200KB): Shrink PDFs and ID scans to exact kilobyte ceilings for strict government, visa, and university portals without blurring text.

3. AI Watermark, Content Credentials & EXIF Wiper: Strip hidden synthetic generation manifests, spectral watermarks, and camera GPS metadata in 0.1 seconds locally.

4. 1-Click AI Background Eraser & Biometric ID Photo Maker: Erase backgrounds into transparent PNGs and format 2x2" or 35x45mm passport photos on-device.

5. Offline Career, ATS & Originality Studio: Audit your resume from 0–100 against ATS parsers, match keywords to job descriptions, check document originality/AI probability, and export clean PDFs with no sign-up wall.

6. 4K Screen & Webcam Recorder (Zero Watermark): Record your desktop, tab audio, mic, and circular webcam overlay straight to your local disk with no 5-minute caps and no watermarks.

You don’t even need to install the extension first to test it! I built a live 5-tool interactive sandbox on our homepage where you can compress a file, audit a resume, wipe metadata, design an official circular seal, or run an originality check and download the output file immediately:
