   A free, browser-only PDF tools collection built with Kimi k2.5▲5

   Hi HN, I built a collection of 40+ PDF tools using Kimi k2.5 (with about $50 worth of credits) and a lot of “vibe coding”. The site: https://pdfuck.com (almost forgot I owned this domain ) What it does: 40+ PDF-related tools Completely free No downloads, everything runs in the browser All processing is done locally in your browser for better privacy It’s deployed on Cloudflare, so the running cost is basically close to zero.

   PDF Barber▲5

   I built this because I didn't want to upload personal documents to random websites just to split or sign a PDF. So I made PDF Barber (https://pdfbarber.com). Everything runs 100% in the browser, with no server involved. The only server call is for the contact form. It is free to use, and I also offer a Chrome extension for convenience. I have already gotten a few paying users and lots of helpful feedback, which has pushed me to improve it further. Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback. Thanks!

   Hi HN! I built PDFly — a PDF toolkit that runs entirely client-side. No file uploads, no server processing, no account needed. It has 56 tools including merge, split, compress, convert, redact, compare, and an AI chat feature to ask questions about your PDF content. Everything runs in your browser using [mention your tech stack if relevant, e.g., WASM/JS libraries]. Would love feedback on the tools, UX, or anything else!
