About PDFShore

PDFShore is a small, independent project building privacy-first PDF tools that run in your browser.

Why this exists

Most online PDF tools upload your file to their servers. Sometimes that's fine. Often it's not, especially for contracts, IDs, medical records, or anything you'd rather keep private. We thought there should be a free option that simply doesn't see the file.

How it works

Modern browsers can do real PDF work without help from a server. We use pdf-lib and PDF.js compiled to WebAssembly, running inside a Web Worker so the page stays responsive.

Who builds it

One developer, working on this in the open. No VC money, no growth team, no dark patterns. Ads pay the hosting bill.
