⚠ The Problem

Pain Point & Friction

Every major online document converter (PDF to Word, image compression, metadata stripping) requires uploading confidential documents to unfamiliar backend servers, creating data leak vulnerabilities and high cloud infrastructure bills.

✓ The Solution

Engineered Approach

Developed an entirely client-side web application leveraging WebAssembly and background Web Workers. Large PDFs are compressed, merged, and split in-memory, while high-resolution images are converted and resized via Canvas APIs without a single byte transferred to an external server.

⚡ Core Features

  • ✓PDF manipulation: compress, merge, split, rotate, unlock, metadata editor
  • ✓Multi-format image converter: JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG, GIF, BMP, ICO
  • ✓Developer utility suite: JSON formatter, schema comparator, CSV/TypeScript generators
  • ✓Crypto & security tools: client-side hash generators, text diffing, encoding/decoding
  • ✓Fast drag-and-drop batch processing with zero account setup
