BentoPDF

BentoPDF is a privacy-first, browser-based PDF toolkit that performs all document processing client-side without uploading files to external servers. Unlike cloud-based PDF services that require uploading sensitive documents to third-party platforms, BentoPDF runs entirely in your browser, ensuring your files never leave your control. This self-hosted deployment provides a private PDF manipulation interface accessible to your team or household without exposing documents to commercial PDF services. With comprehensive features for merging, splitting, converting, editing, and securing PDFs, BentoPDF replaces multiple online tools with a single privacy-respecting application. The browser-based architecture means no software installation required on client devices—users simply access the web interface and work with PDFs using modern web technologies that keep processing local.

Common Use Cases

Document Preparation & Organization: Merge multiple PDF documents into single files for reports, presentations, or submissions. Split large PDFs into individual chapters, sections, or pages for easier distribution. Reorganize pages by dragging and dropping to reorder content, remove unwanted pages, or duplicate important sections. Perfect for preparing contracts, proposals, or documentation packages without uploading to commercial services. Image & Document Conversion: Convert images (JPG, PNG) into PDF documents for archival or sharing purposes. Extract individual PDF pages as images for use in presentations or web content. Transform Markdown documents into formatted PDFs with support for Mermaid diagrams for technical documentation. Compress PDFs to reduce file size for email attachments or cloud storage without quality loss. Document Security & Privacy: Add password protection to PDFs containing sensitive information before distribution. Encrypt documents to prevent unauthorized access or editing. Remove existing password restrictions from PDFs you own to regain editing access. Process confidential documents privately without uploading to commercial PDF services that may retain copies or extract data. Text Recognition & Search: Use integrated OCR to scan image-based PDFs and convert them into searchable, selectable text documents. Process scanned contracts, receipts, or historical documents to make them searchable and accessible. Edit metadata to improve document organization, add author information, or refine search properties. Professional Document Enhancement: Add watermarks to PDFs for branding, copyright protection, or draft indication. Insert headers and footers with page numbers, document titles, or company information. Change background colors for visual appeal or to distinguish document versions. Prepare professional-looking documents for client delivery or internal distribution.

Deploying BentoPDF on Hostinger VPS provides a private, always-available PDF toolkit for your team, family, or organization without the privacy concerns of commercial online PDF services.

With VPS hosting, you eliminate per-document processing fees, file size restrictions, and monthly subscription costs common with commercial PDF services.
