About PDFnexly
A complete set of document tools that does not ask you to sign up, pay, or hand over your files.
Why it exists
Most PDF utilities follow the same script: upload your document, watch a progress bar, then discover the useful part is behind a subscription. PDFnexly takes the opposite approach. All 36 tools are complete, there is no account, and the output never carries a watermark.
How it works
Modern browsers can do far more than they are usually asked to. Merging, splitting, rotating, compressing, converting, editing, signing and encrypting a PDF are all possible on your own machine, using WebAssembly and the browser's rendering engine. That is how nearly every tool here is built, which is why they are fast and why your document does not need to travel anywhere.
A handful of conversions — Word, Excel, PowerPoint and HTML to PDF — need a real document engine. Rather than route those through a commercial API, they run on a self-hosted, sandboxed LibreOffice service that deletes everything it touches. Where a deployment has not enabled that service, those tools are simply not shown, because a button that cannot do its job should not exist.
Built on open source
PDFnexly stands on work by others, including pdf.js, pdf-lib, Tesseract and LibreOffice. If a tool here is useful to you, those projects deserve a share of the credit.
