Open toolPowerful tools, zero friction
SmartApplets runs entirely in your browser. No servers, no uploads, no waiting.
Pick a tool
Browse 11 free PDF tools. Each is built for a single, specific PDF task — no bloated all-in-one editor.
Drop your file
Drag your PDF onto the page or click to choose. The file loads into your browser's memory — never uploaded.
Processing on your device
All work happens on your own CPU. Results appear in milliseconds. No upload queues, no server delays.
Download the result
Save your output instantly. No watermarks, no limits, no paywalls. The original stays exactly where it was.
Built differently from other free PDF tool sites
Most "free" PDF tools upload your files to their servers — and many quietly log, store, or analyze them. SmartApplets is built so we cannot.
100% private by architecture
Every tool runs in your browser. There is no server to receive your files — it's technically impossible for us to see them. Verifiable in your browser's Network tab.
Genuinely free — no tricks
No daily limits, no watermarks, no "free trial" expiry. Every tool is free for everyone, every time, with no exceptions. We make money from ads, not by limiting you.
Instant results
No upload queues, no server processing time. Tools run on your own CPU, so results arrive in milliseconds — usually faster than competitors that need to upload first.
Works on any device
Any modern browser on desktop, tablet, iPhone, or Android. No app downloads, no plugins, no configuration. The exact same tool, everywhere.
Safe for any document
Bank statements, medical records, legal contracts, ID documents — all safe to process here. There's no upload, no log, no storage, no AI training on your data.
Honest & transparent
We show clearly-labelled ads to cover hosting costs. Advertisers never influence which tools we build or how they work. We never sell, share, or analyze your data.
