Tools

Tool	What it does
Merge PDF	Combine several PDFs into one; drag to set the order.
Split PDF	Extract page ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10, or split every page (zip download).
Compress PDF	Re-render pages as JPEG at the quality and resolution you choose; before/after.
Rotate & Reorder PDF	Rotate, reorder and delete pages using thumbnails.
Images to PDF	JPG, PNG and WebP to one PDF: A4, Letter or fit-to-image pages.
PDF to Images	Each page to PNG or JPG at 72/150/300 DPI (zip download).
Compress Image	Quality slider with a live size preview; batch support.
Resize Image	By pixels or percent, keeping the aspect ratio; batch support.
Convert Image	Between JPG, PNG and WebP; batch support.
QR Code Generator	Text or URL to PNG or SVG. No redirects, no tracking, no expiry.

Every tool has drag and drop, a progress bar, clear error messages, one-click download and a "Process another" button. Everything works offline once the app has loaded, and it can be installed as an app (PWA).

Why no uploads?

Most "free online PDF tools" upload your files to someone else's server. Those files are often contracts, IDs, bank statements and medical records. You have to trust a company you don't know with them, and you have to wait for large uploads and downloads.

neverupload does everything on your own device:

• No server receives your files. It's a static website: HTML, JavaScript and CSS. Processing uses your browser's own engines (pdf-lib, pdf.js, Canvas) inside Web Workers.
• Enforced by the browser. The production build ships a Content Security Policy with connect-src 'self', so the page cannot send data to any other server, even by mistake.
• No accounts, no analytics, no trackers, no ads, no cookies.
• Works offline. After the first visit a service worker caches the app. Turn on airplane mode and it still works. That's the easiest way to check the claim yourself.
• Open source. Read the code, or build and host it yourself.

Run locally

Requirements: Node.js 22 or newer.

git clone https://github.com/99proteam/neverupload.git
cd neverupload
npm install
npm run dev        # http://localhost:5173

Other scripts:

Command	Description
npm test	Unit tests (Vitest) for every processing function
npm run lint	ESLint + Prettier check
npm run format	Format all files with Prettier
npm run typecheck	Strict TypeScript check
npm run build	Production build into dist/
npm run preview	Serve the production build locally
npm run fixtures	Regenerate the small sample files in tests/fixtures

Self-host

It's just static files, so any web server or static host works (Nginx, Apache, Caddy, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, S3, an intranet share...).

npm ci
npm run build                          # served from the domain root "/"
# or, to serve from a sub-folder such as https://example.com/tools/
BASE_PATH=/tools/ SITE_URL=https://example.com/tools npm run build

Then copy the dist/ folder to your server. BASE_PATH is the path the app is served from, and SITE_URL is used for canonical links and sitemap.xml. Each tool has its own pre-rendered dist/<tool>/index.html, so deep links work even without server-side rewrites. No environment secrets, database or backend are needed.

GitHub Pages

The included workflow (.github/workflows/deploy.yml) lints, tests and builds every push to main, then publishes dist/ to the gh-pages branch. GitHub Pages serves that branch at https://<user>.github.io/<repo>/. If Pages isn't on yet in your fork, open Settings → Pages and choose Deploy from a branch → gh-pages / root.

SEO

Every page is pre-rendered at build time, so search engines and link previews get real content without running JavaScript:

• 23 indexable pages: 10 tools plus keyword landing pages such as /jpg-to-pdf/, /pdf-to-jpg/, /webp-to-jpg/ and /compress-pdf-for-email/ (defined in src/tools/landing.ts; each opens the right tool with the right preset).
• Per-page tags: title, description, keywords, canonical, hreflang, robots, Open Graph and Twitter cards with a 1200×630 preview image (public/og/, regenerate with CHROME=/path/to/chrome node scripts/generate-og-images.mjs).
• Structured data (JSON-LD): Organization, WebSite, WebApplication, BreadcrumbList, HowTo and FAQPage.
• Crawlable content: intro, "How to use" steps, FAQ, and internal links between related tools and conversions, plus links to every page in the footer.
• sitemap.xml, robots.txt and llms.txt (a summary for AI search assistants).

Get indexed faster: add the site in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools using the "URL prefix" property https://99proteam.github.io/neverupload/, verify with the HTML tag method, and submit sitemap.xml. To add the verification tag, create repository variables (Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → Variables) named GOOGLE_SITE_VERIFICATION, BING_SITE_VERIFICATION or YANDEX_SITE_VERIFICATION containing just the code; the next deploy adds the matching <meta> tag.
