Building a Privacy-First Split PDF Tool (With Client-Side Processing)

Most PDF tools follow a simple flow:
Upload → Process on server → Download

We wanted to challenge that.

So we built a Split PDF tool that runs entirely in the browser.

⚙️ Key Features

  • Extract specific pages or custom ranges
  • Visual page selection for better UX
  • Multi-language support for global users
  • No backend processing — everything runs locally

🔐 Why Client-Side?

Instead of uploading files, we process PDFs directly in the browser.

Benefits:

  • Zero data exposure
  • Faster processing (no network latency)
  • Better trust for sensitive documents

🌍 Multilingual Layer

We added multi-language support to expand accessibility across regions — especially for non-English users.

🧩 Key Insight

Most tools compete on features.
We focused on:

  • Privacy
  • Speed
  • Simplicity

Would love feedback from other devs building browser-based tools.
