About PDFLocal
PDFLocal is a free toolkit for common PDF tasks — merging, splitting, rotating, watermarking, filling forms, and more — built on a simple premise: your documents are yours, and no tool should require you to hand them to a server just to edit them.
Every operation runs on top of open-source libraries (pdf-lib and pdf.js) executing directly in your browser. There's no backend behind the PDF processing itself — the Next.js layer here exists purely to serve the interface and make the site fast and discoverable.
The project is open source. If you'd like to inspect how a particular tool works, suggest a feature, or report an issue, the repository link is in the footer of every page.
