The point

Edit PDFs locally and convert them to Word

Many PDF converters require an upload first. PDFLocal performs the work directly on the device using browser capabilities.

A good fit when…

This tool fits if…

  • You edit proposals, contracts or project documents locally.
  • You do not want a third-party cloud handling temporary files.
  • Merge, split, rotate and image export cover the task.
  • You prefer an application you can host internally.

How it works

finished PDF and DOCX files without sending confidential documents to an online converter.

Merge, split or rotate PDF pages, create images and Word files, and remove standard metadata entirely in the browser without uploading files.

  1. Install: Upload the PHP application to your HTTPS hosting and run the guided setup.
  2. Configure: Set your company name, branding and the options needed for this workflow.
  3. Use: Share the generated link and keep the result in your own installation.

So you know what to expect before you buy:
