FeatherPDF
A small set of PDF tools that do their work on your own device. Merge, split, rotate, organize, and convert between PDFs and images, without an account, a watermark, or a single file leaving your computer.
Tools
- Merge PDFCombine several PDFs into one document, in any order you choose. Runs entirely in your browser, so your files are never uploaded.
- Split PDFExtract the pages you need or break a PDF into separate files. Everything happens locally in your browser, with no upload.
- JPG to PDFTurn JPG and PNG images into a single PDF, one image per page. Converted on your device, so your photos never leave it.
- Rotate PDFRotate every page of a PDF 90, 180, or 270 degrees, losslessly and instantly, right in your browser. No upload, no account.
- PDF to JPGSave every page of a PDF as a high-resolution JPG image, bundled in a zip. Rendered locally; your file is never uploaded.
- Organize PDFDelete, rotate, and reorder PDF pages from a thumbnail grid, then rebuild the file. All in your browser, with nothing uploaded.
How FeatherPDF works
Most online PDF tools are really web services: you upload your file, a server in some data center does the work, and you download the result. FeatherPDF is built the other way around. When you open a tool, the code that merges or splits your PDF is sent to your browser, and the actual work happens there, on your machine. Your document is read from your disk into memory, changed, and handed back as a download. The file itself is never transmitted anywhere.
That design has real, practical consequences. There is nothing to upload, so even a large file starts instantly with no progress bar waiting on a network. There is no server queue and no daily quota, because you are only ever using your own device’s memory. And no copy of your document is left sitting on someone else’s hardware afterward, which matters when the file is a contract, a bank statement, a medical record, or anything else you would rather not hand to a stranger.
What these tools are good for
FeatherPDF deliberately covers the everyday jobs that can be done well locally: combining a few documents into one, pulling specific pages out of a long file, straightening a sideways scan, turning images into a PDF (or a PDF into images), and reordering or deleting pages. For most people, those cover the large majority of day-to-day PDF tasks.
A handful of heavier jobs genuinely need a server: high-fidelity format conversions, optical character recognition to make a scan searchable, or editing the text already inside a PDF. FeatherPDF does not try to fake those: if a task is not a good fit for in-browser processing, it simply is not here. You can read how each tool works, and how the local approach compares to the big cloud suites, in the guides.
Private by design, not by promise
Plenty of services pledge to delete your files “within an hour.” FeatherPDF does not need that promise, because it never receives your file in the first place. You can confirm it yourself: open any tool, switch your computer to airplane mode, and the tool keeps working, because nothing was ever going to be sent over the network. That is the whole idea behind the project.
