pdfcraft

PDFCraft is a collection of PDF tools that runs entirely inside a web browser, without sending any files to a remote server. All processing happens on the user's device using a technology called WebAssembly, which allows near-native performance in the browser. This design means documents stay private on the local machine throughout any operation.

The toolkit covers more than 90 individual tools. On the organization side, you can merge multiple PDFs into one, split a PDF by page range, extract or delete specific pages, reverse page order, rotate pages, and reorder pages by dragging. On the editing side, the tools include adding text, images, signatures, watermarks, page numbers, headers, footers, stamps, and fillable form fields. Tools also exist for removing annotations, blank pages, and embedded metadata.

Conversion is a large part of the feature set. Images in formats like JPG, PNG, HEIC, SVG, and TIFF can be turned into PDFs. PDFs can be exported to image formats, Word documents, Excel files, PowerPoint presentations, plain text, and others. Compression and optimization tools help reduce file size for web use or archiving.

A visual workflow editor, currently in beta, lets users chain multiple operations together by connecting nodes on a canvas, similar in concept to other node-based tools. Pre-built templates cover common sequences like merging and compressing, creating a secure document, or preparing a batch of files. Custom workflows can be saved and reused. This removes the need to reconfigure each step every time the same sequence of operations is needed.

The application supports English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.
