    Why

    PDF utilities are usually a queue of uploads and a download link at the end. Folio keeps the whole workflow visible and local: you see pages, move them, and get the file immediately.

What it actually does.

  • 01

    Five operations

    Merge, split, compress, images to PDF, and PDF to images.

  • 02

    Page-level control

    Pages are rendered as thumbnails so you can see what you are reordering or extracting.

  • 03

    Private by design

    pdf-lib for writing and pdf.js for reading, both in the browser. Nothing leaves the tab.
