Frustrated with PDF tools that upload files to unknown servers, so I built FoldPDF. Most tools run in your browser — merge, split, rotate, watermark, sign, protect. Nothing leaves your device. Four tools (Compress, PDF to Word, PDF to PPT, PPT to PDF) use a secure server but delete files immediately. 30+ tools. No account. No watermarks. Free.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Benedict, the person who built this.
Quick honest note on how it works — most tools run in your browser with zero uploads. Four tools (Compress, PDF to Word, PDF to PowerPoint, and PowerPoint to PDF) send your file to our server for better quality results, but delete it immediately after download.
The tool I'm most proud of is PDF to Word — it uses Adobe's API so the output actually preserves formatting, fonts, and structure instead of giving you a broken plain text mess like most free converters do.
Biggest known limitation right now: PowerPoint to PDF conversion takes 30-60 seconds because it runs LibreOffice on a free server tier. I'm working on upgrading the infrastructure.
Ask me anything — happy to answer questions about the tech, the privacy approach, or anything else.

Who hunted FoldPDF?
FoldPDF was hunted by Benedict. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
