Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-local toolkit for editing PDFs, images, video, and audio without uploading the files.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-18 issue.

For: People editing sensitive files in a browser
Worth noticing: The page says its tools continue working with Wi-Fi disabled because processing stays in the tab.

Field notes

The interface queues transformations rather than immediately overwriting the source, and users can undo or untick individual steps before saving a copy. Its redaction workflow includes named pattern searches for sensitive identifiers and flattens matched PDF pages to images. Video processing is explicitly browser-local, but the page notes that saved clips currently contain a picture track without sound.
