20 free PDF tools. Nothing uploaded, nothing held back

PDFLove is 20 PDF tools that run inside your browser: merge, split, compress, convert, rotate, sign, OCR, password-protect and more. Every other free PDF site uploads your file to a server first - which is why they cap free users around 30 pages and watermark the result. PDFLove does the work on your device, so nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, nothing is metered. Free, no account, no watermark, no page limits. Load it once and it works offline. Also on Android and iOS.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Every free PDF tool I tried had the same shape: upload your file to a server, wait, get it back with a watermark, and hit a page limit unless you subscribed. For a contract, a passport scan or a bank statement, the upload is the part that bothered me most. PDFLove.co does the work in the browser instead. Merge, split, compress, convert, rotate, sign, OCR, password-protect - 20 tools, and your file never leaves your device. There is no upload endpoint to trust, because there is no upload. Open the network tab and watch: that is the only honest way to check a privacy claim. What that model buys you: - All 20 tools free, no account - No watermark and no page limit - a 400-page merge behaves like a 4-page one - Works offline once the page has loaded - Large files stay fast, because nothing is travelling up or down a wire It is a static site, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing for me to store. The same tools are on Android and iOS if you would rather have an app. Two things I would genuinely like feedback on: 1. Which tool is missing? 2. What breaks? Very large or unusual PDFs are where browser-side processing gets hard, and those are the bug reports I want most. I will be here all day - thanks for taking a look 🙏

Every free PDF tool makes you upload your file. That's not a technical requirement.

Merge two PDFs on ilovepdf, smallpdf, or almost any free PDF site and the first thing that happens is your file goes to their server. Then you wait, then you get it back - often watermarked, and usually with a page cap if you didn't pay.

I spent the last stretch building the version that doesn't do that: 20 tools, all of them running in the browser tab. So I now have an unusually specific answer to "does this actually need a server?"
