Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built SORO because every file tool I tried did the same thing: upload your document to a server, process it there, send it back. For a random utility bill that's fine. For a signed contract, a medical form, or anything with personal info on it, it always bothered me.
SORO takes the opposite approach. Every tool is a static HTML page that runs entirely in your browser. There is no backend, no API, no database. Your file is read by the File API, processed in JavaScript on your own device, and written back out when you download the result. At no point does anything leave your machine.
You can verify this yourself: open DevTools, switch to the Network tab, drop a PDF into the editor. Zero outbound requests while you work. The privacy is enforced by the architecture, not by a policy I wrote.
Ten tools are live right now:
• PDF Editor (merge, split, rotate, sign, watermark, add text)
• Image Editor (compose, crop, borders, favicon and ICO generation)
• EXIF Remover and Viewer
• Image Compressor
• PDF Metadata Remover
• Text Cleaner
• CSV ↔ JSON Converter
• Link Cleaner
• QR Code Generator
Everything is free. No accounts, no signup, no limits. Not planning to put any of it behind a paywall.
Happy to answer anything about how it works, the browser APIs involved, or why a PDF editor was the hardest one to build. Thanks for checking it out 🙏
