Description
File Acture is a desktop toolbox for Mac and Windows with 18 tools: compress a PDF to an exact size, edit, merge, split, OCR and password-protect PDFs, convert HEIC to JPG, remove photo backgrounds, extract text from images, and create password-protected ZIPs. Everything runs on your computer, so your files are never uploaded. There is a free version to try, and Pro is a one-time purchase with no subscription.
