PDF Tool Plus
Merge, compress, OCR & redact PDFs without uploading
Free PDF and image tools in your browser: merge, split, compress to a target size, OCR in 5 languages, redact, fill & sign, compare. Files are processed on your device, not uploaded (only the optional Office-to-PDF converter uses a server). What's different: a "Prepare documents" workspace. Group your files, set a size/format rule per group and check the real output files before you download. No sign-up. English, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Spanish, French.
Hi Product Hunt!
I built PDF Tool Plus after preparing documents for online applications over and over. Every portal wants something slightly different: one PDF under 2 MB, a portrait photo under 500 KB, both sides of an ID on one page… The popular PDF sites can do this, but they upload your ID and diplomas to their servers.
PDF Tool Plus does the work in your browser (WebAssembly): merge, split, compress to a target size, OCR in 5 languages, redact, fill & sign, compare and more. Files aren't uploaded. The one exception is the optional Word/Excel/PowerPoint to PDF converter, which asks for consent first and deletes the file right after converting.
What I think is different:
- Prepare documents: group your files, set a requirement for each group, and get a checklist measured on the real output files before you download
- Compress to a real byte target, and it tells you honestly when a file can't reach it
- Redaction that removes the text and image data underneath, not just a black box
It's free, needs no sign-up, and works in English, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Spanish and French. It's brand new, so I'd really appreciate feedback: what's missing, what's confusing, and any bugs (especially on Safari and Firefox).
