Hello Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Shahab, the creator of PDF Studio.
I built this tool out of my own daily frustrations. Working extensively with complex book layouts, visual graphics, and heavy client design briefs, I constantly needed to manage and convert PDFs. Existing cloud tools were either too slow, messed up my formatting, or forced me to upload sensitive client documents to unknown servers.
I needed something fast, localized, and secure. That’s how PDF Studio was born.

🔒 Total Privacy: Everything happens offline on your Windows PC.
✂️ Advanced Editing: Crop, rotate, redact, and organize pages effortlessly.
🔄 Smart Conversion: Convert PDFs to Word, Images, and vice-versa without losing layout integrity.
⚡ Lightweight: Fast rendering without draining system resources.

does the redaction actually strip the underlying text from the pdf or just overlay a black box? that part matters a lot for anyone handling sensitive contracts

@zekiyehwuy Thank you for asking this. You've hit on exactly why I built PDF Studio in the first place.
Yes, the redaction tool actually strips the underlying text, vectors, and associated metadata completely from the document structure. It does NOT just overlay a cosmetic black box (which can easily be bypassed by highlighting or inspecting the file).
Since my main goal was to handle sensitive client briefs and confidential contracts securely entirely offline, true permanent redaction was a non-negotiable core feature.
Let me know if you want to test it out with a specific contract format, I'd love to hear your feedback!

The offline-only approach is genuinely thoughtful given how many PDF tools quietly ship your documents to someone else's server. Clean UI focus without bloat is a nice signal too.
