PDFKettle
Compress, merge & convert PDFs without uploading
Free online PDF tools: compress, merge, split, rotate, crop and convert PDF to JPG and back. Everything runs in your browser, so files are never uploaded.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built PDFKettle because I got tired of uploading contracts, ID scans and invoices to random websites just to make a PDF smaller or merge two files. Most "free" PDF sites send your documents to their servers, and you never really know what happens to them after that.
PDFKettle works differently: every tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are processed on your own device and are never uploaded anywhere. That also means no upload wait, no queue, no account and no watermark.
What you can do today:
• Compress PDF, including to a target size like 100KB or 200KB (handy for strict upload forms)
• Merge, split, rotate, crop and reorder pages
• Delete or extract pages
• JPG/PNG to PDF and PDF to JPG/PNG
• Add a watermark or page numbers
A few honest limits: password-protected PDFs aren't supported yet, and very large files depend on your device's memory.
I'd love your feedback: which tool would you use most, and what should I add next? 🙏
