Indie dev launches free site with 21 browser-only PDF tools, no uploads
Efficient-Regular702 · reddit · 2026-11-13
An indie developer launched pdfdistrict.com, a free site bundling 21 PDF tools (merge, split, compress, sign, add text, crop, metadata removal, PDF to JPG/PNG/text) that run entirely in the browser — no files ever leave the device, and no watermarks.
The motivation: distrust of uploading personal documents to random online converters. Trade-off is that very large files (100MB+) can be slow on weaker machines since everything is processed locally.
