PDF & Image Tools
PDF & Image Tools is a free, privacy-focused collection of browser-based utilities for PDF and image manipulation. Created by indie developer Swathik, it runs entirely on the user's device using modern web technologies including WebAssembly, Canvas, and WebGPU, ensuring that no files are ever uploaded to any server. This client-side approach provides instant processing without queues or quality loss. The suite includes tools for compressing PDFs to exact target sizes, merging and splitting documents, converting between formats, as well as image resizing, cropping, format conversion, and AI-powered background removal via on-device neural networks (using ONNX Runtime Web and Transformers.js). Batch processing handles multiple files in parallel, and the tools continue to work even without an internet connection after the initial page load. With no sign-up required, no watermarks, no daily limits, and complete file privacy, it targets users who need quick, trustworthy document and image processing without compromising sensitive data.
