Smallpdf alternative
The private Smallpdf alternative — your files never leave your browser
Smallpdf is one of the most popular PDF tools on the web, but every task — merging, converting, compressing — requires uploading your file to their cloud servers first. Convertoza performs the same conversions locally in your browser using WebAssembly and standard browser APIs: no upload, no cloud, no privacy risk. It's free, fast, works on any device, and never asks you to create an account before downloading your own file.
