Runs in any modern browser — nothing to install, works the same on any machine you log in from.
Setup on Web Browser
Download the installer
Download the latest PDFsmith installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/pdf-toolkit-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
PDFsmith runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. PDFsmith is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
PDFsmith on Web Browser — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes. The full source code is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/pdf-toolkit-mvp and always will be. Buying gets you the signed Windows installer, 1-click setup and updates — pure convenience, zero lock-in.
Do my PDFs get uploaded anywhere?
No. All processing runs locally with pdf-lib, a pure-JavaScript library. The app makes no network calls at all — you can run it with Wi-Fi off.
