PDF Toolbench
A PDF utility that runs entirely in your browser. Merge files, reorder, rotate, and delete pages, pull out a range, add text or a signature, fill in forms, redact a page so the hidden text is actually gone, strip metadata, or shrink the file. Everything runs locally on your device, and your PDFs are never uploaded.

Click a page (or its ✎) to open it for editing — add text, a signature, redactions, or fill form fields. Drag a thumbnail to reorder. Images are turned into pages; adding several files merges them into one document, in the order shown.
Built on two open-source libraries: pdf.js by Mozilla (Apache 2.0) for rendering, and pdf-lib (MIT) for editing. Thank you to their authors.
Real redaction can't just draw a black box: the text underneath would still sit in the file and could be copied straight back out. To actually remove it, this tool rasterizes the page — it renders the page to an image, paints the black boxes onto that image, and replaces the page with the flat image. The hidden content is then gone.
Trade-off: the redacted page becomes an image, so its text is no longer selectable or searchable, and the file may be a little larger.
This shrinks the file by rendering every page to an image at the chosen quality and rebuilding the PDF from those images. It's most effective on scans and image-heavy documents.
Trade-off: like redaction, the pages become images, so text is no longer selectable or searchable. (Your original file is untouched; this downloads a copy.)
