Engineers at our startup don't build features anymore

Hey HN, I’ve been building PDF utility tools in DigiParser my SaaS app, to simplify working with PDF files. Just launched an update that includes 59 new tools - all free to use.

You can now merge, split, compress, convert (PDF ↔ Word, Excel, JPG, etc.), OCR, redact, fill forms, sign, reorder pages, and much more.

No login required. Fast, privacy-friendly, and works in the browser.

Check it out: https://www.digiparser.com/free-tools/pdf

Would love your feedback or ideas for more tools!

That's frustrating when I see these kinds of online only tools. I have to expose my own documents to a third-party service.

Totally understand the concern, privacy is critically important. But this is the age of cloud computing, and server-side processing enables more powerful tools. Files are sent to our servers for processing, but we don’t store or log anything, all files are auto-deleted immediately after processing.

I tried Compress-Pdf module and it is actually uploading the binary pdf file to the server for processing.

ah that's right, I need to change that statement, thanks for flagging. The files are processed on server, securely and deleted after processing. No data stored.
