## What it is
Every PDF is an all-in-one open-source desktop PDF toolkit built with Electron, Next.js, and a Python (FastAPI) backend. It lets users edit, convert, merge, split, compress, and secure PDF documents offline across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

## Use cases
- merge multiple pdf files into one
- convert pdf pages to images
- compress a large pdf to email size
- split a pdf into separate pages
- add a password to protect a pdf
- view and read pdf files offline
- rotate and reorder pdf pages

## When to choose
- you want a free, offline alternative to Adobe Acrobat for common PDF tasks
- you need a cross-platform GUI PDF toolkit without subscriptions
- you want to convert PDFs to images without installing Poppler manually
- you prefer open-source tools for handling sensitive documents locally

## When to avoid
- you need advanced collaborative editing or cloud-synced PDF workflows
- you require OCR of scanned documents with high-accuracy enterprise engines
- you need programmatic/API batch processing rather than a desktop GUI
- you only need a lightweight CLI for scripted PDF manipulation
