BentoPDF
Privacy-first PDF toolkit where all processing happens locally in the browser
BentoPDF is a free, open-source collection of PDF tools that runs entirely in the browser using WebAssembly, so files are processed locally without uploads, accounts, or file limits. It covers editing, conversion, organization, optimization, repair, and security tasks in a single interface.
The toolset includes an in-place text editor with live reflow, a visual node-based PDF Workflow Builder, a unified Multi Tool for merging, splitting, and organizing pages, and an annotation editor for highlighting, redacting, and commenting. Conversion tools handle images, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Markdown, and many other formats to and from PDF, alongside OCR, table extraction, form filling and creation, PDF/A conversion, repair of damaged files, and security features such as AES encryption, digital signatures, and metadata sanitization. Advanced settings can configure external processing modules including PyMuPDF, Ghostscript, and CoherentPDF.
BentoPDF is aimed at individuals and organizations that need everyday PDF processing without uploading documents. It is free to use with no trials or subscriptions, and development is funded through commercial licenses; the code is published under AGPL-3.0.
