10 offline tools, plus an optional AI chat.
Everything you'd normally hand to an online PDF site runs locally instead — with one clearly-marked exception if you choose to use it.
Merge PDFs
Combine multiple files into one, in whatever order you drag them into.
Split PDF
Extract page ranges into one file, or one file per range.
Compress PDF
Low, medium, or high quality — shrink file size in seconds.
Rotate Pages
90°, 180°, or 270° — every page, or just the ones you click.
Organize Pages
Drag-and-drop page reordering, delete pages you don't need.
Protect / Unlock
Add or remove a password from any PDF.
Images to PDF
JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, GIF, TIFF — turn any images into one PDF.
PDF to Images
Export pages as PNG or JPEG at 96, 150, or 300 DPI.
Watermark & Numbers
Stamp text watermarks and page numbers, positioned your way.
Metadata
Edit title, author, subject, and keywords embedded in the file.
Chat with PDF
Ask questions about a PDF using your own OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, or Kimi API key.
Chat with PDF is the one feature that isn't fully offline: if you choose to use it, the document's text is sent to the AI provider you configure, using your own API key — never to us. Every other tool never sends your files anywhere.
Built offline-first, not "cloud with a local cache."
Most PDF tools online quietly upload your document to a server to process it — even the ones that promise to "delete it after." LocalPDF Kit was built the other way around: everything happens on your device, full stop.
- Every merge, split, compress, and edit runs as a local process on your machine.
- No file, page, or byte of your documents is ever uploaded to us — not during processing, not for the trial, not ever.
- The only feature that leaves your PC at all is the optional Chat with PDF — and only the document text, only to the AI provider you configure with your own key, only if you turn it on.

What people are saying
Early feedback from people who moved off online PDF tools.
"I merge and split client PDFs all day. Not having to upload tax documents to some random website is the whole reason I switched."
Rahul K.
Freelance Accountant
"The compress tool alone paid for itself — I was emailing scanned contracts that were way too big, now they're a fraction of the size in seconds."
Sarah M.
HR Coordinator
"One-time purchase and it just works offline. No subscription nag screens, no 'upgrade to premium' popups. Exactly what I wanted."
David P.
Small Business Owner

Frequently asked questions
All 10 core tools, yes — every merge, split, compress, rotate, and edit runs as a local process on your PC, nothing uploaded. There are two narrow exceptions: a single check when you activate a license key (to confirm your plan's device limit), and the optional Chat with PDF feature, which sends document text to whichever AI provider you configure with your own API key, only if you turn it on. Nothing else ever touches the internet.
