The problem with uploading
When you upload a contract, medical record or tax form to a web tool, you’re trusting an unknown server with sensitive data. PDFIntro removes that trust requirement entirely. Files are opened with the browser’s File API and processed using WebAssembly libraries that run inside your tab.
How we built it
The engine combines battle-tested open-source libraries for reading, rendering and writing PDFs, all executed client-side. There is no upload endpoint because there is no server that touches your documents.
Nothing is uploaded
Every operation runs in your browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript. Your documents are never transmitted to a server.
No accounts, no queues
There is no backend to wait on. Open a tool, drop a file, get a result — instantly, offline-capable after first load.
Genuinely fast
Because there is no round-trip to a server, most operations finish in the time it takes to read this sentence.
01
Pick a tool
Choose from organise, convert, edit and optimise tools — or hit ⌘K to jump straight there.
02
Drop your file
Drag a PDF or image in. It loads into memory on your device, never to a server.
03
Download
The result is generated locally and saved straight to your downloads folder.
