Your PDF doesn’t need to leave your laptop

A lot of online PDF sites sell “free”. then charge you with privacy. They push uploads, email gates, watermarks, and limits that hit the second you’re in a rush.

PDF-Edit.app takes the opposite bet: do the work in the browser so your files don’t become someone else’s data problem.

What it does (and why you’ll care)

If you handle client docs, legal forms, invoices, pitch decks, or school PDFs, you hit the same grind:

You need to split a PDF to send only the right pages.
You need to merge files into one clean packet.
You need to edit without hunting for a desktop app license.
You need to optimize/compress because that 28MB scan won’t email.
You need quick conversions like PDF to images.

Here’s the deal: PDF-Edit.app groups those jobs into one place and keeps the flow simple - open a tool, drop the file, export.

Privacy first, not privacy theater

Most tools say “secure” while they quietly ship your doc to their servers. PDF-Edit.app leans on local, in-browser processing and even calls out offline use for people who take privacy seriously.

That matters when you’re dealing with:

contracts and NDAs
resumes and IDs
bank docs
medical or HR paperwork

You shouldn’t need to “trust” a random PDF website. You should avoid the risk.

Who it’s for

Indie hackers sending investor updates and decks
Freelancers packaging deliverables and invoices
Ops folks cleaning PDFs all day
Students fixing broken handouts five minutes before class

Fast in. Fast out. No account to babysit.

The punchline

If your current PDF tool starts with an upload button, it already failed the privacy test. PDF-Edit.app keeps the work on your side of the screen.
