Online vs offline

Why local, not in the browser?

Browser-based PDF tools upload your documents to someone else's server. PDF Manipulator runs every operation locally, on your disk.

Online PDF tools

  • Your files land on someone else's server
  • File size and count limits
  • Ads, queues, upsell to a paid plan
  • Require an internet connection
  • Unclear what happens to your documents afterwards

PDF Manipulator (offline)

  • Files never leave your computer
  • No size or file-count limits
  • Zero ads, zero accounts, completely free
  • Works offline, instantly
  • Batch-process entire folders

One file or an entire batch

Most features work in batch mode — process a single file or far more at once. Merge, split, encrypt, convert and more on individual documents or whole folders.

×N → 1

Merge

Combine any number of PDF files into a single document. Drag dozens of files at once, set the order, and merge with one click.

1 file

Split

Split a single PDF document into individual pages or page ranges — with preview and full control over split points.

×N

Encrypt

Encrypt one or hundreds of PDF files with AES-256 password in bulk — same password for the entire batch in seconds.

×N

Remove password

Remove known passwords from one or multiple PDF files at once. Bulk unlock entire folders of documents.

×N

PDF → DOCX conversion

Convert one or far more PDF files to editable Word at once. Batch convert entire directories.

1 file

Rotate pages

Rotate selected or all pages in a single PDF document by 90, 180, or 270 degrees.

1 file

Remove pages

Delete selected pages from a single PDF file — the rest of the document stays untouched.

1 file

Reorder pages

Change page order in a single PDF document — efficient document restructuring.

×N → ZIP

Pack to ZIP

Pack one or far more PDF files into a ZIP archive with AES-256 encryption. Entire batch in one archive.

×N

Recover password

Recover forgotten passwords from your own PDF files — individually or for your entire collection (requires acknowledgment).

×N

Search text

Search one or multiple PDF files at once. Bulk search for phrases across entire folders with page numbers.

tool

Password generator

Create strong, random passwords for PDF encryption — configurable length and character sets, copy with one click.

Workflow

Chain operations together.
Only the result writes to disk.

The output of one operation becomes input for the next instantly. Merge a dozen PDFs, encrypt the result, pack it to ZIP — and email it before anything touches the disk. Twelve operations compose into hundreds of combinations you assemble for your exact case.

Merge Encrypt Pack Send

Intermediate files live in app memory. You write to disk only at the end — or not at all, if it goes straight to email.

Cross operations without limits

Run each function on the result of the previous one. No rigid paths — you decide what comes next, and build exactly the workflow you need.

Files are temporary until you save

As long as you don't hit "Save", you're working on copies in memory. Originals stay untouched, disk doesn't fill with intermediates — no cleanup after.

The entire workflow is enslaved to one thing: fewer steps, less clutter, faster result.

Personalization

Make the look yours

Choose from 38 color themes, set panel layout (horizontal or vertical), and toolbar style. The app looks the way you want.

PDF Manipulator — blue theme, horizontal layout with operation groups
Blue / horizontal — operations grouped in a toolbar, three panels side-by-side
PDF Manipulator — Gruvbox theme, vertical layout with flat icon bar
Gruvbox / vertical — flat icon bar, panels stacked

These are just two of 38 available themes — pick the rest in app settings.

Privacy

Your files. Your computer. End.

Unlike online tools, PDF Manipulator never sends your files to the cloud. Every operation runs locally.

100% offline

No PDF file, its content, name, or path ever leaves your computer. The app needs no internet to run.

No account, no login

No registration, no account, no subscription. Download, install, use — no data handed over.

Open-source code

All code is publicly available on GitHub under AGPL-3.0. You can check exactly what the app does.
