 📖 About

PDFCraft is a comprehensive suite of PDF tools designed for privacy and performance. Unlike many online converters, PDFCraft processes your files entirely within your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your documents never leave your device, ensuring maximum security for your sensitive data.

This project is built with modern web technologies to provide a slick, app-like experience directly in the browser.

 ✨ Key Features

- 🔒 100% Private: All processing happens client-side. No file uploads to external servers.
- 🚀 Fast & Responsive: Powered by Next.js and WebAssembly for near-native performance.
- 🛠️ Comprehensive Toolset: Over 80+ tools to handle any PDF task.
- 🎨 Modern UI: Clean, accessible, and responsive design built with Tailwind CSS.
- 🌐 Multi-language: Supports English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese.

 Rotating PDFs

Standard right-angle rotations preserve the original document's editable form fields, bookmarks, internal page links, custom page labels, attachments, and title/author metadata. This applies to all-page and selected-page rotations, including pages that already have a rotation. Arbitrary-angle rotation continues to rebuild page content through embedding and does not provide the same preservation guarantees.
 Editing bookmark destinations

Editing titles or reorganizing existing local page bookmarks preserves their original position, zoom and fit mode, including named destinations. Changing a bookmark's target page explicitly resets its view to the top of the new page. New bookmarks retain the existing page-top default.
 Editing metadata

Metadata edits preserve fields that were not selected for an update. Disabling automatic modification-date updates retains the existing date; explicitly supplied dates and producer information still take precedence.
 PDF ZIP archives

The PDFs to ZIP tool keeps every selected document, including files with the same name from different folders. Duplicate names receive a numeric suffix before the extension (for example, report.pdf and report (2).pdf). Existing input names are reserved, so an original report (2).pdf is not overwritten by an automatically renamed file. PDF contents are not modified.
