Hey everyone, We all use sites like iLovePDF or Adobe to merge or compress documents. But recently, I had to merge some bank statements and legal IDs, and I realized how insane it is that we are blindly uploading highly sensitive financial and personal data to random remote servers just to compress a file. I wanted a tool that respected data privacy, so I built LocalPDF. Link: https://local-pdf-five.vercel.app/ How it works: Instead of uploading your files to a cloud server, LocalPDF uses Web Workers and WebAssembly to process everything entirely inside your browser's local memory. Why this matters for professionals: Zero Server Uploads: Your client contracts, tax returns, and IDs literally never leave your device. Insanely Fast: Because there is no upload/download time, it merges and compresses massive files instantly. No File Size Limits: You aren't constrained by server limits. If your laptop has the RAM, you can process a 500MB textbook. It currently has tools to Merge, Split, Compress, and Protect PDFs. I built this primarily to scratch my own itch, but I’ve decided to host it completely free with no paywalls. I'd love for you guys to test it out with some heavy files and let me know if it breaks or if there are other specific tools you'd want added!
