SoHappyPDF

PDF tools that expire your files in ~2 hours

SoHappyPDF launched on September 1, 2026 with 2 votes, #2,316 of 8,093 launches that month.

What it does

Most PDF sites want an account to merge two pages, then keep the file around. SoHappyPDF is one tool per job: merge, split, compress, convert, protect. No account for basic use. Files belong to your session and expire after about two hours — not a document library. Free is 5 ops/day and 25 MB. Pro is $5/month (OCR and higher limits). Same pipeline is on a public API.

The hosted SoHappyPDF service has closed. The full source code is now open on GitHub — free to read, run, and build on.

I've shut down the hosted version and published the complete source code. Read it, run it yourself, or build something new on top of it. Thank you to everyone who used SoHappyPDF. Issues and pull requests are welcome. — Ferhatfrom sohappypdf.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
