PDFdesk: a privacy-first workbench for PDF chores
A browser-based PDF toolkit with 117 tools for editing, converting, inspecting, organizing, and processing documents without uploading them.
Field notes
The homepage organizes the service around single operations, batch processing, workflows, and a document workspace rather than one isolated converter. Its catalog includes office and legal-document details such as Bates numbering, permanent redaction, metadata stripping, duplicate-page detection, and page-size normalization. The site states that processing occurs locally in the browser, with no account and no server-side storage, and links to 31 ready-made workflows alongside 65 batch operations.
