Hey guys, we're building LuxPDF.com, an ongoing project to develop the most transparent PDF WebApp in the world. We just launched (so expect some bugs, UI problems etc.), and our site is currently in early-stage development. We offer over 15+ PDF Tools, all completely free, all open-sourced, all client-side, with no registration needed, no file size limits, and no batch processing limits.

We built this because we're students, so we constantly used these PDF WebApps to convert, and compress PDF Files, files that contained very sensitive information like names, financial information, etc. We were so frustrated with current WebApps because they required logins, had restrictions if you were on their free plan, were closed source etc. So we built LuxPDF to try and solve the problem of bad PDF WebApps in 2025.

The only source of funding we seek is just donations through BuyMeACoffee/Sponsors. All we're asking simply is, if you value what we do, we warmly welcome your support, whether it's just recommending our site to a friend or colleague, finding bugs, suggesting new features, or donating through BuyMeACoffee. Any donators/sponsors will have their names/banner and a custom message of their choice listed on the webapp, as a Thank You.

This is really excellent work team. It's great to see more straight-forward but polished tools that solve a concrete problem simply.

For sure, we're still very early in development but we didn't know how hard it was going to be to develop it, so we decided to open-source it. Worst case scenario, if we fail, someone could use our repo for motivation, clean it up and maybe launch something better.

Is it a competitor to tools like Sedja?

Yes, it's very similar except we are completely open-sourced and free. They do have unique features though, I'll give them that.
