Private, browser-first PDF tools plus a developer PDF API
A deep catalog covering merge, split, compress, linearize, OCR, encrypt, redact, flatten, metadata removal, format conversion and table extraction.
Most file tools run entirely in your browser, so everyday PDF work does not require uploading your document to a server.
Backend endpoints for merge, split, HTML-to-PDF, webpage-to-PDF, invoice generation, redaction and OCR, billed through monthly credits.
Tools that need server rendering, URL fetching or API processing state that clearly before you submit any data.
Chat with any PDF and get cited answers instantly
Ask questions in plain language and get answers drawn from your document, with citations back to the source passages.
Generate quick summaries and find specific answers in long reports, contracts and papers without reading every page.
Pull structured data and fields out of documents to reuse in spreadsheets, apps or other automations.
Use the API to parse documents, extract data and split PDFs programmatically inside your own workflows.
