About PDFTools

PDFTools was built by Saqib, an independent developer from Pakistan. I built this because I needed reliable PDF tools that worked without uploading sensitive documents to some server. Every tool processes files 100% client-side — your data never leaves your device.

The Mission

Make professional PDF editing free and private for everyone. 29 tools, no signups, no uploads, no hidden costs. Everything runs in your browser and respects your privacy.

Why I Built This

Every other PDF site either uploads your files to a server (privacy risk) or charges a subscription for basic features. I wanted to prove you could have both: free tools that are genuinely private. All processing uses pdf-lib and pdfjs-dist — the same libraries powering desktop apps — running right in your browser tab via WebAssembly.

What We Offer

How It Works

pdf-lib or pdfjs-dist reads and processes it in your browser
You download the result. Nothing was ever uploaded.
