What is FixMyPDFs?
Each tool runs on the visitor's own device. The site names pdf.js and pdf-lib for reading and editing PDFs, WebAssembly builds of qpdf for encryption and repair, and Tesseract for OCR. No file is uploaded, and the site says this can be checked in the browser's network panel. Pages also work offline after the first visit.
The tools are grouped by job. Merge and organize covers merging, splitting by size, bookmarks or text, rotating, cropping and resizing. Other groups handle compression to a chosen size limit, editing text, signing and form filling, and conversion between PDF and Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, JPG, PNG, TIFF and SVG. Security tools include password removal, AES-256 protection, redaction, auto-redaction of personal data, flattening and metadata cleanup. Repair, OCR and scan-to-PDF are also listed.
Who is FixMyPDFs for?
Suited to people who need a quick PDF fix and do not want to upload sensitive documents to a third-party server, such as contracts, IDs or financial files. It also fits anyone who wants to avoid sign-ups, watermarks and daily limits. Very large files are limited by the memory of the device, since all processing is local.
