A Lighter Way to Work with PDFs.
Start in your browser. Choose local tools for everyday work, with clear boundaries around server-dependent features.
Know your processing route
Choose the right tool for the job
- ↗
Provider-dependent conversions
Office conversions need an available server engine. Availability is shown before you begin.
- ↗
AI is an optional service
AI tools require a configured provider. Their data handling differs from local PDF processing.
- ↗
Understand editing limits
Text replacement uses a visual overlay. Permanent redaction is a separate tool that rebuilds affected pages.
Browser-based document workspaceLocal core tools
