Editorial interest 77/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

PDFbuff presents browser-based tools for editing, converting, compressing, and managing PDFs, and says document processing happens on the user’s device.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-27 issue.

For: People handling PDFs who want files processed on their own device
Worth noticing: The signature tool places an image, not a certificate-backed digital signature; compression can also remove a scan’s text layer.

Field notes

The homepage maps the workflow as opening a file in the browser, processing it on the device, and exporting it to a chosen location. It lists 15 tools and marks OCR, Word and Excel conversion, form filling, and batch processing as Pro. The stated free tier has a 20 MB and 100-page limit; the page also cautions that image-based signing is not a digital signature and that some compression methods can discard document structure.
