Show DEV: I built a free browser-based PDF toolkit with 31 tools tags: showdev, webdev, javascript, productivity ---

---

Hey DEV community! 👋

I just launched PDFOnlineLovePDF — a 100% free, browser-based PDF toolkit.

The problem

Every PDF tool I tried had at least one of these issues:

• Expensive subscriptions
• Full of ads
• Uploads your files to remote servers (privacy risk)
• Requires signup just to compress a file

So I built my own.

What it does

31 tools, all running 100% in your browser:

• Convert PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint
• Compress up to 90%
• Merge, split, rotate
• OCR (extract text from scanned PDFs)
• Sign PDFs
• Translate into 50+ languages (AI-powered)

How it works

Everything runs client-side using WebAssembly and modern browser APIs. Your files never leave your device. No server, no storage, no privacy risk.

Tech highlights

• 100% client-side processing
• WebAssembly for performance
• AI-powered translation
• Zero dependencies on external servers
