We have all been there. You need to quickly compress a sensitive contract, merge a few invoices, or sign an NDA. But radiography on page one of Google shows that literally every tool forces you to upload your private files to their remote server. You just have to cross your fingers and hope they actually delete your data afterward.

As a student building stuff, shipping a massive 100MB PDF across the network just to merge two pages felt super inefficient and honestly kind of sketchy.

I wanted to fix this, so I built PDFOmni. It is a browser-based PDF toolkit where all the heavy lifting happens locally on your device. No backend storage, no server queues, and zero knowledge of your documents.

Shifting the Architecture

Most traditional document tools rely on server-side processing using heavy backend libraries. The workflow is always the same: you upload the file, the server processes it, and then you download it.
