Let’s be honest: there are a million PDF converters. PrivateTools includes the basics, but focuses on unique, micro-niche tools (like Webtoon Croppers or Discord 8MB compressors). The difference? Everything runs 100% locally in your browser via WebAssembly. Zero server uploads, zero tracking, unlimited file sizes, and completely free. Open-source and built for true data privacy.

Could you build this?
