GoPDFTools
Privacy-first PDF tools that run entirely in your browser
I’ve been working on GoPDFTools over the past few weeks, and it started from a simple frustration.
Almost every PDF tool I used required uploading files to a server even for basic tasks like converting images to PDF or compressing a document.
That never felt right, especially when dealing with personal or sensitive files.
So I decided to build a browser-based alternative where everything runs locally. No uploads, no storage just fast, client-side processing.
It’s been an interesting challenge so far:
- Handling large files without freezing the browser
- Managing memory efficiently
- Keeping the experience smooth on mobile devices
The goal is simple:
Make everyday PDF tasks faster, simpler, and more private.
Still early, still improving — would really appreciate any feedback, especially around performance and usability.
