Free and privacy-friendly web services

BentoPDF

Online PDF tools for merging, converting, compressing, signing and reorganizing documents directly in the browser, without uploading files to a server.

Overview

BentoPDF performs many common operations on PDF files from a browser, without installing dedicated software. It is practical for merging documents, splitting pages, reorganizing a PDF, compressing a file, converting some formats or applying simple editing and preparation actions.

The main value of the service is not only the number of available tools, but also the way it works: processing happens locally in the browser. Files are not sent to a remote server for the main operations, which makes it a practical option for quick document handling while keeping a more privacy-friendly approach. This is particularly useful for routine PDFs that you would rather not pass through a third-party service unnecessarily.
