About
Stirling-PDF is a powerful, locally-hosted web application for all your PDF needs. It provides over 30 PDF operations without sending your documents to any external service. Features include merging/splitting PDFs, rotating pages, extracting images, converting between formats (PDF to images, Word to PDF, etc.), compressing PDFs, adding/removing passwords, digital signatures, OCR for scanned documents, page extraction, and batch operations. It's a complete PDF toolkit that runs entirely on your server, keeping your sensitive documents private.
