Put the PDF toolkit
on your own computer

Everything the web version does, running locally: 28 PDF and image tools that keep working with the network unplugged. Batches of dozens of files, documents of several hundred megabytes, password-protected PDFs — the things a browser cannot do, the desktop app can.

Heads-up: the desktop app’s interface is currently in Chinese only. Every tool works the same, and file dialogs use your own system language, but menus and labels are not yet translated. An English interface is planned.

Why install the desktop app

The web version stays free and capable — use it for everyday small files.
These four situations are where the desktop app is clearly better.

Batches of dozens of files

Select a whole batch and let it run through. No uploading and downloading one file at a time. Watermarking, compressing, or converting a folder full of scans takes minutes.

Documents of several hundred MB

A browser has to read the whole file into memory, so large files stall or crash the tab. The desktop app reads from disk, and the process is the same at any size.

Encryption and password removal

Set an AES-256 open password, or remove restrictions from a file whose password you know. Both are desktop-only; the web version does not offer them.

Works with no network

Once installed it never needs the internet. Air-gapped machines, restricted environments, or travelling without signal — every tool still works.

A look inside

Pick a tool on the left, set options on the right

No extra steps: choose files, adjust options, press start. Results land next to the source file.

The PDF text watermark screen, with watermark text, tiled or centred layout, and opacity; more options reveals font size, angle, and colour
Common options up front, the rest folded awayFont size, angle, colour, and page ranges are collapsed under "more options" by default, so the screen is not intimidating at first glance.
The image compression screen: four images queued in the file list, with a note that 4 files totalling 1.8 MB were produced in 0.9 seconds
Pick files in bulk, open the output folder when doneEvery multi-file tool lets you reorder the list (merging and stitching need it), and one line afterwards says what was produced, how big, and how long it took.

Installing

Unzip and run — nothing is written to the registry

Portable by design. Delete the folder and nothing is left behind.

Windows

  1. Download 59612-pdf-toolkit-1.0.0-win-x64.zip
  2. Right-click and extract to any folder (do not run it from inside the zip)
  3. Double-click 59612PDF工具箱.exe

If SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC" on first run, choose More info → Run anyway. The app simply has no purchased code-signing certificate; it is not malware.

macOS

  1. Download 59612-pdf-toolkit-1.0.0-macos.dmg
  2. Open it and drag the app into your Applications folder
  3. On first launch, right-click → Open, then confirm

Same reason: there is no Apple developer signature. After opening it this way once, a normal double-click works.

The app does not go online, and has no reason to

There is no upload endpoint, no account system, no analytics, and no update check. Everything is processed on your computer, and your files never leave the disk.

Questions

Before you install

Does it cost anything? Any ads?

It is free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no limits on how many files you process or how large they are.

Are the results identical to the web version?

Very close. Both offer the same tools with the same options, but the desktop app uses a Python PDF engine while the web version uses pdf-lib and Canvas in the browser, so compression ratios and font rendering can differ slightly on a few tools.

Can it turn a scanned document into editable text?

No. "PDF to text" extracts an existing text layer; a scan is just an image and has none. The app says so clearly and suggests "PDF to images" instead. Reading text out of images needs OCR, which would multiply the download size, so it is not included in this version.

Can it crack a PDF password?

No, and it is not planned. "Remove password" only works on files whose password you already know — enter it, and the restrictions are removed so you can edit the file.

My file got bigger after compression?

Re-compressing an already-compressed PDF often does that. When it happens the app tells you the size did not shrink and discards the result, rather than leaving a "compressed" file larger than the original.

Why is the download over 40 MB?

It bundles a complete PDF rendering engine and Python runtime, so you do not have to install anything else. It expands to about 100 MB.

Is there a Linux build?

No prebuilt package yet, but the source is cross-platform and runs on Linux once Python and the dependencies are installed.

Just a small file and nothing to install? Use the web version — it does not upload your files either.
