FyPDFs · About
A front door for one kind of job.
People rarely want a "PDF suite". They want two files merged, today. fypdfs.com is built around that: one job at a time, in your browser, with the rest of the tools ready when the job grows.

In your browser
What stays with you.
The twenty browser tools are built on open libraries that read and write PDFs inside the page you have open.
01
pdf-lib
Writes the PDFs: merging, splitting, turning, cropping, numbering, watermarks and the marks Edit adds.
02
PDF.js
Reads and draws pages — for previews, PDF to images, and the jobs that redraw pages.
03
jsPDF
Builds new PDFs from pictures, Word documents and HTML files.
04
Mammoth and SheetJS
Read Word's .docx and Excel's workbooks, so they can become PDF or CSV.
