## What it is
PDFCraft is a free, privacy-focused PDF toolkit with 90+ tools (merge, split, compress, convert, edit, secure) that runs entirely in the browser via WebAssembly, so files never leave the user's device. It also includes a visual drag-and-drop workflow editor for chaining PDF operations into reusable batch pipelines.

## Use cases
- merge pdf files without uploading them
- compress a pdf privately in the browser
- split a pdf into separate pages
- convert pdf to other formats offline
- password protect a pdf
- batch process multiple pdfs with a saved workflow
- edit pdf documents without installing software

## When to choose
- you handle sensitive documents and cannot upload files to servers
- you need a broad set of PDF tools in one free web app
- you want to automate repeated PDF operations via visual workflows
- you want a self-hostable PDF toolkit

## When to avoid
- you need server-side or API-based PDF processing at scale
- you require OCR or advanced editing beyond browser/WASM capabilities
- you need a native desktop application with deep OS integration
