About PDFForge

Practical PDF tools without the baggage

PDFForge is being built for students, professionals, and small businesses that need dependable PDF tools without giving up document privacy.

How it works

You choose a tool and select files from your device. Supported operations run in browser workers, then PDFForge creates a temporary local download. There is no account, cloud library, or server document queue.

Built in careful stages

Reliability comes before tool count. Shared validation, rendering, processing, cleanup, accessibility, and privacy checks are completed before individual tools are released.

Honest limitations

PDFForge still cannot reconstruct every PDF feature. Rewrites can drop digital signatures, tags, and uncommon annotations. Office export and Extract Text use the text layer first, then on-device English OCR for pages with no selectable text — they are not a desktop publisher. Some AES-128 files unlock only as images. Redaction rasterizes pages. Compress PDF rewrites the file or redraws pages as pictures. Crop PDF can keep content outside the box unless you redraw pages as pictures. Repair PDF copies readable pages into a new file or redraws them as pictures, and it cannot fix every damaged PDF. Accounts and cloud storage are not offered.

Supported browsers

Automated tests target Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit engines on desktop, plus Android Chrome and iPhone Safari emulation for the main mobile workflows. On desktop, use a current Chrome, Edge, or Firefox release; Safari is also available on Mac. On phones, use Android Chrome or iPhone Safari. Processing limits depend on the device’s available memory and browser. Check installation and file downloads on a real phone before relying on it for large PDFs.
