PDF Engineer
Privacy First PDF Editor, Image editor & Screen Recorder 50+
I’m Aditya, the maker of PDF Engineer, and I’m super excited to share what I’ve been building with you today! 🚨 The Problem We All Ignore
Think about the last time you had to compress a passport scan under 100KB for a visa portal, edit a date on a signed contract, merge bank statements, or score your resume.
Almost all of us Google a "free online converter" and upload our most sensitive personal documents to a random remote server—only to get hit with a "2 tasks per day" paywall, a watermarked export, or a $19/month subscription trap.
I asked a simple question: Modern browsers can run 3D games via WebAssembly—why are we still uploading PDFs and photos to external servers just to edit or compress them?
