KeptPDF is a PDF toolkit that runs entirely in your browser. Nothing uploads: every tool runs on your own device, so the document never touches a server.
What it does:
Who it is for: law firms, accounting practices, clinics, and anyone who shares documents they cannot afford to leak.
The core tools are free with no sign-up. Works offline as an installable app.

KeptPDF's answer:
KeptPDF runs entirely in your browser. Your file, and the text inside it, never leaves your device. Not to an AI, not even to us. You can open your browser's network tab and watch: the document bytes never go out.
Most online PDF tools upload your file to a server first, and some "AI redaction" services quietly send your document text to a third-party model. That is the exact risk people are trying to avoid when they redact something.
KeptPDF also does true redaction. The text is removed from the file, not covered with a black box you can copy out later. Every redaction produces a verification certificate you can share with the file.
KeptPDF's answer:
Three reasons.
Privacy you can verify, not just a promise. Processing happens locally in the browser, so there is no upload step to trust. We do send anonymous usage counts for quota, and we say so plainly, but never your document.
Real redaction with proof. Removed text is permanently gone, and you get a certificate showing the file was checked for leftover extractable text. Automated detection cannot catch everything, so a final human review is still your job, and the tool says that too.
It works on a phone. Most PDF suites assume a desktop. KeptPDF was built and used on a phone first, so redacting a document while you are standing in a hallway actually works.
KeptPDF's answer:
Anyone who has to hand a document to someone else and needs the sensitive parts gone first.
In practice that is solo attorneys and small law firms, accountants and tax preparers, healthcare and records staff handling requests, HR teams, and individuals dealing with their own medical, legal, or financial paperwork.
The common thread is not an industry. It is a person who cannot upload a confidential file to a random website, and who does not have an enterprise IT budget to solve it.
KeptPDF's answer:
A family member got seriously ill. We spent most days at the hospital, and straight answers were hard to come by, so we leaned on AI tools to make sense of the records, notes, and lab results.
But you cannot paste a medical record into an AI chat. You have to strip the names, the ID numbers, the diagnoses first. And almost every tool we found either wanted to upload the whole file to a server, or "auto-redacted" by sending the document text to an online AI. That was the exact thing we were trying to avoid.
Most of this was happening on a phone, at a bedside. So I built the tool I needed: redaction that runs on the device, works on mobile, and never sends the file anywhere. That turned into KeptPDF, which is now a full PDF suite with over 20 tools, all local-first.
KeptPDF's answer:
The app is plain JavaScript with no front-end framework, which keeps it fast and keeps the code auditable.
PDF work happens in the browser using pdf.js for rendering and pdf-lib for writing. Text recognition uses Tesseract running as WebAssembly. Password and encryption handling uses a WebAssembly build of qpdf. It is a Progressive Web App, so it installs and works offline.
The thin server side is Node on Vercel, with Postgres for accounts, Stripe for billing, and Resend for email. None of those ever see a document.
KeptPDF's answer:
KeptPDF is early and independent, and we do not publish customer names. The product is privacy-first by design: we never see your documents, and we do not track who our users are or what they work on. Publishing a client list would sit badly next to that.
The user base today is mostly solo attorneys, small firms, accountants, and individuals handling their own records.

John Resig created jQuery at BarCamp NYC in January 2006. Its key sources of inspiration included Dean Edwards' CSSQuery library and other community projects from that time. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

jQuery simplified AJAX syntax dramatically, which is why it became so popular. If you're working with a project that already uses jQuery (like many WordPress themes and plugins), its AJAX methods are very convenient. - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago
When I was building a quick frontend to the LLM game, I used jQuery to quickly whip out a prototype. Only after I was happy with it, I ported the code to the modern DOM API. As a result, I totally removed the dependency on jQuery. This whole experience makes me wonder, do people still use jQuery, in this age of frontend engineering? I took some time over the weekend to port one of my old jQuery plugins. This is... - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
Whenever the number of items increased, the browser became slow, sometimes even unresponsive. At first, we thought it was a server issue or maybe too much data. But no — the problem was hiding inside a small line of jQuery. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
