About PDF Kit

The Story

PDF Kit was born out of frustration. Every time I needed to convert an image to PDF or extract images from a PDF, I'd find myself on sketchy websites that either:

  • Required me to upload my files to their servers (privacy concern)
  • Bombarded me with intrusive ads and pop-ups
  • Limited conversions unless I signed up or paid
  • Took forever because of server-side processing

So I built PDF Kit - a tool that does everything in your browser. Your files never leave your device, conversions are instant, and it's completely free to use.

How It Works

PDF Kit uses modern browser technologies to process files entirely on your device:

  • PDF.js - Mozilla's PDF rendering library for reading PDFs
  • jsPDF - For creating PDF documents from images
  • Canvas API - For image manipulation and format conversion
  • Web Workers - For background processing without freezing your browser

This means your files are processed using your computer's resources, not some remote server. When you close the tab, everything is gone - no traces left behind.

Privacy First

I take privacy seriously. Here's what PDF Kit does NOT do:

  • Upload your files anywhere
  • Store your files or conversion history
  • Track what files you convert
  • Require registration or personal information

The only data collected is anonymous analytics (page views, general usage patterns) to help improve the service. That's it.

Supporting the Project

PDF Kit is free and will always be free. The project is supported by non-intrusive advertisements. If you find the tool useful, simply using it helps keep it running!

If you encounter any bugs or have feature suggestions, feel free to reach out through social media or leave feedback. I'm always looking to improve the tool.

Built with Modern Tech

React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Vite, and lots of coffee. Open source libraries make this possible - thanks to all the maintainers out there.
