Hey Product Hunt 👋 — maker of SafePDF here. I built it out of frustration. Every time I needed to merge or compress a PDF, the "free" online tools wanted me to upload confidential contracts and bank statements to servers I didn't control. For anyone handling sensitive documents — and anyone subject to GDPR — that's a non-starter. SafePDF is the fix: a desktop app where everything runs on your machine. Merge, compress, convert, sign, encrypt, OCR, redact — your files literally never leave your computer. No account, no upload, works offline. Under the hood it's Electron + React, with real engines doing the heavy lifting: Ghostscript (compression & PDF/A), qpdf (AES-256 encryption), Tesseract (OCR), and LibreOffice headless (Office → PDF conversion). Same quality as the cloud tools — zero servers. Free forever for the merge tool. €12/mo unlocks the 26 other tools (OCR, Office conversion, PDF/A, redaction, forms, signatures…). Available on macOS, Windows, and Linux. I'd love your honest feedback — especially on which Pro tool you'd want next. What's missing for you? 🙏
