PDFRoll
40+ PDF tools that run in your browser, not on a server
Most online PDF tools upload your documents to a server. PDFRoll doesn't. Every tool runs locally in your browser with WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device. There is no backend at all, which is also why it's free and stays free. 40+ tools: merge, split, compress, OCR, convert, sign, redact, edit. No account, no watermarks, no file size limits. Available in 9 languages.
Hi everyone, maker here. I work in IT and I kept running into the same thing: someone needs to merge two PDFs or compress one to fit an upload limit, and the easy answer is to drop a document onto a random website. That document is often a contract, an ID scan, or a medical form. I was not comfortable recommending that to anyone. So I built PDFRoll with no backend at all. Every tool runs in your browser with WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your machine. That also means there are no server costs, which is why it is free with no account, no watermarks and no size caps. It is in 9 languages, because most of these tools only exist in English and a lot of PDF work is administrative paperwork people do in their own language. Happy to hear what is broken or missing.
