Editorial interest 73/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A catalog of free browser-based tools for merging, splitting, compressing, signing, converting, and otherwise working with PDFs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-08 issue.

For: People handling PDFs they do not want to upload
Worth noticing: The page names pdf-lib, pdf.js, and Tesseract as its browser-side engine, and invites readers to inspect the Network tab.

Field notes

The homepage says files are read through the browser File API into device memory, processed by pdf-lib, pdf.js, and Tesseract in a WebAssembly/browser sandbox, then exported as local Blobs. Its catalog spans page operations, conversion, OCR, signing, encryption, metadata, and repair; repair is explicitly described as best-effort. The privacy and offline statements are the site's own descriptions, not independently verified by this extract.
