BentoPDF: All Your PDF Needs, Privacy First

BentoPDF is a comprehensive, privacy-first PDF toolkit that runs entirely in your browser. Every operation (merge, split, edit, convert, compress) happens locally on your device. Your files never leave your computer.

Key Features

🔒 Privacy First

All PDF processing happens in your browser using WebAssembly. Your documents are never uploaded to any server. This makes BentoPDF ideal for sensitive documents, legal files, medical records, or anything you simply don’t want floating in the cloud.

🎯 No Limits

Unlike many online PDF tools that impose paywalls, upload limits, or watermarks, BentoPDF lets you process as many files as you want, as often as you want. Completely free and open source.
