Universal PDF Tool
100% private PDF tools that process files locally in-browser

Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I’m the maker of Universal PDF Tool.
### What inspired me to build this?
Every day, millions of people upload highly sensitive documents—tax filings, bank statements, legal contracts, and medical records—to free online PDF converters. What most people don't realize is that many of these platforms store your files on cloud servers, track metadata, or even use them to train AI models.
I wanted to change that. I believed that managing documents shouldn’t mean compromising your security and privacy.
### The Problem & The Solution
Most offline PDF editors are expensive, bloated, and require installation. On the other hand, free web tools compromise your data security.
Our approach was to build a compromise-free tool: a fast, powerful, and clean web application where all operations (merging, splitting, deleting pages, rotating, and editing) run locally on your device or via ephemeral secure APIs.
### What's New in This Version?
We’ve spent the last few weeks polishing the platform to make it faster and much more capable:
* **Organize PDF:** A new drag-and-drop arranger to visually reorder, duplicate, or delete pages easily.
* **Word to PDF / Merge Word:** Combine and convert documents directly.
* **Extreme Compression:** Up to 90% size reduction with zero "black page" transparent canvas bugs.
* **Sign & Watermark:** Overlay signatures and branding text securely.
We’re fully dedicated to keeping this project privacy-first, free, and ad-supported (without intrusive trackers).
I'd love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or questions about the architecture. Thank you for the support! 🔒
