FormatDog
PDF, image, and Office tools — nothing ever uploaded
22 free PDF and file tools that run entirely in your browser. Merge, split, protect, sign, and convert files with no uploads, no signup, and no daily limits.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built FormatDog because I kept needing a quick PDF/image tool and kept hitting the same wall: upload your file, wait, hope the site's not doing something shady with it, hit a daily limit, get nagged to sign up.
So everything here runs entirely in your browser — merging, compressing, OCR, background removal, PDF ↔ Word/Excel/PowerPoint, even a GPS-tagging camera tool for field work. Your file never touches a server, because there isn't one in the loop at all. No signup, no daily cap, free.
Would love feedback on which tool is most/least useful to you, and what's still missing — that's genuinely how the next batch of features gets picked.
Merged two PDFs and stripped the metadata in under a minute, all without uploading anything. The fact that it runs fully in-browser with zero signup is honestly underrated.
Ran a couple of PDFs through the merge tool and was pleasantly surprised everything stayed on my device. Simple, fast, and no account nonsense.
Privacy-first file tools like this are exactly what I want to see more of. One small ask: could you add an OCR option for scanned PDFs so they become searchable and copyable right in the browser? Would round out the converter set nicely and save a trip to a separate site.
