PDF tools

Offline PDF tools merge, split, reorder, convert, and password-protect PDF files entirely in the browser using pdf-lib and pdf.js, so contracts, invoices, medical records, and other sensitive documents are processed on your own device instead of being uploaded to a third-party PDF site.

About PDF tools

PDF is the format people most often hand to sketchy 'free online' converters — and it is exactly the format most likely to contain something private: a signed contract, a bank statement, a passport scan, an NDA. Every tool in this category runs the manipulation locally: pages are merged, split, rotated, and re-ordered with pdf-lib, rendered to images and read for text with a self-hosted build of Mozilla's pdf.js, and encrypted or decrypted with AES via the @cantoo/pdf-lib fork. Nothing is uploaded — open DevTools → Network and watch zero requests fire while you work.

  • No cookies, ads, fingerprinting, or cross-site tracking
  • Free, no signup or account required
  • Works offline once loaded; installable as a PWA
  • Verifiable in DevTools — zero network calls when you press a button

Frequently asked questions

Are these PDF tools really private?
Yes. Every PDF tool runs entirely in your browser. Your file is read with FileReader, processed in memory with pdf-lib and pdf.js, and handed back to you as a download. Nothing is uploaded or stored. Open DevTools → Network and confirm zero requests fire while you merge, split, or convert.
Is there a file size or page limit?
The only limit is your device's memory. Because everything runs in the browser tab, very large PDFs (hundreds of MB) can hit memory ceilings — but typical documents of a few hundred pages process in seconds.
Why use these instead of a site like iLovePDF or Smallpdf?
Those services upload your PDF to their servers to process it. For a contract, invoice, or medical record, that means handing a sensitive document to a third party. These tools do the identical operations on your own machine, so the file never leaves your tab.
Do they work offline?
Yes. Once a tool page has loaded, it keeps working with no connection — the PDF engine (the pdf.js worker and pdf-lib) is served from this domain and cached by your browser. Install offlineutils.com as a PWA to keep the whole suite available offline.
