The whole toolkit, at a glance
Every document job — right on your device.
A complete document toolkit — PDF, image, video & utilities — where the everyday tools run 100% in your browser. Private by architecture, not by promise. Free where it costs us nothing; Pro where it earns its keep.
Why DiemDesk wins
Three moats competitors can’t cross
The online tools from iLovePDF, Smallpdf and Adobe are server-first — every file uploads to them. DiemDesk is device-first. That one choice creates advantages they’d have to rebuild their stack to match.
Privacy
Provable, not promised
The everyday tools open and rebuild your file on your device — nothing is uploaded, stored, scanned or trainable. Competitors process everything on their servers.
The proof: open DevTools → Network. Zero requests. You can’t fake that.
Convenience
One private workspace
PDF, image, QR, video & utilities in one place — no ads, no signup, no watermark, no daily wall on in-browser tools. Chain tools into saved workflows instead of hopping sites.
The feel: a premium app, not a single-purpose upload form with ads.
Determinism
The answer to “why not just AI?”
Real tools give the same exact result every time — no hallucinations, no “regenerate.” AI is embedded as a feature, not the product you’re betting your document on.
The trust: a redaction you can verify, a signature you can prove.
What runs where
114 tools · 92 on your device
The green on device badge means it runs in your browser — free & unlimited, forever. Server-side Office conversions are 3 free a day, then Pro. Tools tagged coming soon aren’t live yet — 80 of the 114 are available today.

Beyond parity
Tools no other PDF site ships
Matching iLovePDF and Smallpdf is table stakes. These are the ones that make DiemDesk best-in-class — most run on your device, a few are AI. Live ones you can use today; the rest are on the roadmap.
Statement PDF → a transaction table where every row is checked against the running balance — then export to Excel, CSV or Tally. Processed on your device: the one document you should never upload.
On the roadmap
Hit a precise KB/MB limit for exam, visa & court portals — not just “smaller”.
Live now
Bank statements & tables → an editable spreadsheet, converted on your device.
Live now
Ask your document and get answers with the exact page they came from.
On the roadmap
Find names, SSNs, emails & IDs and redact them automatically.
On the roadmap
“Delete blank pages”, “redact all emails” — typed into the ⌘K palette.
On the roadmap
Strip hidden metadata + embedded scripts, entirely on your device.
On the roadmap
What actually changed between two versions — meaning, not pixels.
On the roadmap
Clean Markdown out of a PDF — for devs, notes and AI pipelines.
Live now
A Markdown file into a polished PDF or Word document — headings, lists and tables kept.
On the roadmap
A real e-reader book out of a fixed-layout PDF — chapters, cover, pictures in place, and right-to-left languages laid out properly.
On the roadmap
The return trip, with the chapters in the order the book itself declares.
On the roadmap
Every table on a web page into a spreadsheet — merged cells handled, which is what copy-paste gets wrong.
On the roadmap
Pull the soundtrack out of a video, or convert M4A, OGG and FLAC to MP3 — in the browser, where other converters upload.
On the roadmap
The everyday spreadsheet conversions, on your device instead of an upload site — separators detected, dates readable, nested fields flattened.
On the roadmap
Vector artwork out to the formats everything else accepts — at any size, transparency kept.
On the roadmap
Just the words — running heads, page numbers and hyphen breaks cleaned up on the way out.
On the roadmap
A real rewrite rather than a renamed file, with a timing shift and a clean transcript option.
On the roadmap
One logo into every icon a site needs — including a genuine multi-size .ico.
On the roadmap
Listen to any document — accessibility and hands-free.
Live now
Dictate or transcribe, right in the browser.
On the roadmap
Legal page-stamping for discovery and case files.
Live now
Cryptographic proof a document existed at a point in time.
On the roadmap
Auto-tag PDFs so they meet the EU Accessibility Act.
On the roadmap
View, validate & embed structured invoices — live EU mandates.
On the roadmap
Photos or PDFs of receipts → clean rows for bookkeeping.
On the roadmap
Merge · clean · sign · compress in a single drop.
On the roadmap
One template + a CSV → many personalised PDFs.
On the roadmap
The newer image formats, converted on your device.
On the roadmap

The Pro moat
Pro features rivals structurally can’t copy
Built for professionals with sensitive, repetitive documents — legal, HR, accounting, healthcare, agencies. Each leans on the device-first architecture. ★ = flagship.
Process 100 files at once — zero uploads. Rivals upload everything; they can't match private bulk.
Privacy
Signed, exportable proof a document was truly scrubbed — 0 recoverable characters. A legal/compliance wedge.
Determinism
A one-click document assembly line — merge · clean · sign · share-safe · compress — run on a whole batch.
Convenience
Zero-knowledge storage (Argon2 + AES-256). Even we can't read it — rivals' storage is server-readable.
Privacy
Expiring, password-locked share links DiemDesk itself can't decrypt.
Privacy
DocuSign-style signed audit trail + verification hash for e-signatures.
Determinism
Legal page-stamping — a standard paid feature that pulls in the legal vertical.
Convenience
Save logo / header-footer / watermark once, apply across a whole batch.
Convenience
Add it to your home screen or desktop and it opens like a native app — no store, no installer.
Convenience
Higher-fidelity in-place text-editing tier for Pro.
Determinism
Use it anywhere
One private toolkit — web today, native apps next
Start in the browser with nothing to install. It also works inside Claude, so you can convert a file by asking. Native iOS & Android apps are on the way — so you can open a PDF straight from Mail, Files or any app and it stays on your device.
Every tool runs in any modern browser — nothing to install.
Add DiemDesk to your home screen or desktop (PWA).
Native iPhone & iPad app — open PDFs straight from Mail & Files.
“Share to DiemDesk” from any app; full open-with support.
Ask your assistant to convert a file and it happens, on your own disk.
Set it up →Where it matters most
Written for the people who can’t upload the file
Rivals promise to delete your document after an hour — which concedes they received it. For some readers that difference is the whole decision.
Redact and Bates-number without a privileged exhibit leaving the desk.
AccountantsConvert client statements without handing over the ledger.
HealthcareNo transmission means no disclosure to evaluate.
SchoolsNo ads, no account, no student record sent anywhere.
DevelopersAn SDK that runs in your users’ browser — no endpoint to declare.
End to end
How the in-browser tools actually work
No magic — just modern browsers. WebAssembly runs real document engines on your machine, so the file never leaves.
You drop a file
Read straight into the tab’s memory — never sent anywhere.
Your device does the work
WASM engines (pdf-lib, ffmpeg, codecs) process it locally, on your CPU.
You get the result
Built in-memory and downloaded — still nothing uploaded.
Nothing left behind
Close the tab and it’s gone. No account, no server copy, no trace.
