What it does

The PDF jobs an office does every day.

Built for contracts, statements, invoices and reports that should not go to a website. Every tool works on many files at once and writes new files, so your originals stay as they were.

Combine and split

Merge PDFs in the order you choose, split by page count or by ranges such as 1-3, 7, 9-end, extract pages or delete pages.

Organize pages

See page thumbnails, drag pages into a new order, rotate and delete them, with undo and redo. Nothing is written until you save a new PDF.

Compress, with honest results

Three presets make the images inside a PDF smaller. Text is not changed. If a file cannot be made smaller, the app says so and writes no new file.

Convert

Turn JPG, PNG, WebP or TIFF images into a PDF, or export PDF pages as PNG or JPG at 96, 150 or 300 DPI.

Number, stamp and sign

Add page numbers or a text stamp, or place a picture of your signature on a page by clicking and dragging on a preview.

Protect

Protect a PDF with a password using AES-256, or remove a password you know. The app never guesses or cracks passwords.

How it works

Three steps for a whole folder.

  1. Pick a tool

    Choose Merge, Compress, Protect or any other tool, then add your PDFs or drop them on the window.

  2. Set the options

    Pages, preset, stamp text or password. Problems are shown before you start, next to the file or field.

  3. Start the job

    Jobs run one after another in a queue, with progress and Cancel. Each result is a new file; your original is never changed.

Inside the app

Every tool one click away.

Privacy

Your documents stay on your PC.

  • Everything runs on your computer. Documents, file names and passwords are not uploaded anywhere.
  • No account, no tracking and no update checks. The app makes no internet connections.
  • Your original files are never changed. Every job writes a new file.
  • Passwords you type are used only in memory for the job and never saved. Logs hold no file names, paths or passwords.
  • Working files stay in a private folder for your Windows user and are deleted when the job ends. This is a normal delete, not a secure wipe.
  • Licence keys are checked on your PC, so the app works offline. The only online action is the Buy a licence button, which opens this website in your browser.

Honest limits

What it does not do.

  • It is not a PDF editor. It does not change existing text or images in a PDF.
  • No Word, Excel or PowerPoint conversion, in either direction.
  • No OCR: it does not turn scans into searchable text. Scans that already have a text layer stay searchable.
  • A stamp or signature image adds to the page. It does not remove or securely hide anything, so it is not redaction.
  • A signature image is a picture placed on the page. It is not a digital certificate and does not prove who signed.
  • Stamp and page-number text supports Latin letters, numbers and common symbols in this version. Arabic and Urdu are planned.
  • Compression results depend on the file. We do not promise a percentage.
  • No form filling, no printing and no PDF/A conversion.
  • Windows only. There is no Mac or phone version.
  • The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows may show an Unknown publisher warning (see the FAQ).

Version 1.0.0 · released 2026-11-09. The installer is not code-signed yet, so your browser or Windows may warn you. That is expected; the steps below show what to click.

Check the file is genuine

SHA-256 checksum of the installer:

ccf9fe83958fd2d338331806ea566690f5ecc3bc7584c0e4b9149b6121c6b600

In PowerShell: Get-FileHash .\Private-PDF-Toolkit-Setup-1.0.0.exe -Algorithm SHA256. The result must match exactly.

The portable ZIP runs from any folder you can write to, without installing. The source archives are the corresponding source for the open-source libraries in the app, offered under their licences (LGPL and others), including the FFmpeg library that Electron ships as ffmpeg.dll; you do not need them to use the app.

Requirements

Will it run on my PC?

Operating systemWindows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Tested on Windows 11.
Memory8 GB recommended. A very large, image-heavy file (about 1 GB, 2000 pages) used about 2 GB while compressing in our tests.
Disk spaceThe installer is about 119 MB and the installed app about 500 MB, plus free space for your new files and the job's working files.
FilesTested with files up to 2000 pages and 1 GB. Larger files are allowed but are outside what we tested.
InternetNot required to use the app.
InstallInstalls for your own Windows user. Administrator rights are not required. A portable ZIP is also available.

Installing

Install and activate in five steps.

The installer is not code-signed yet, so Windows may warn you the first time. Here is exactly what you will see and what to do. Your browser may also say the file is not commonly downloaded: choose Keep.

  1. Download the installer and, if you can, compare its SHA-256 checksum with the one on this page.

  2. Double-click the installer. If Windows shows a blue Windows protected your PC window, click More info, then Run anyway. This appears because the installer is not code-signed yet.

  3. Accept the licence terms and choose the install folder (the default is fine). Administrator rights are not required.

  4. Open Private PDF Toolkit from the Start menu. On some PCs the very first start takes longer while security software scans the new program. This is normal and only happens once.

  5. To activate: click the Trial button at the top of the app to open Licence settings, press Copy machine code, send the code to us, then paste the key we send back and press Apply licence.

Licence terms, refunds and support are on the licence terms page.

Questions

What people ask before they buy.

Who is Private PDF Toolkit for?

Offices, lawyers, accountants and anyone who handles confidential PDFs such as contracts, statements, invoices and reports, and does not want to upload them to a website to merge, compress or protect them.

How much does it cost?

There are two ways to pay. Monthly: AED 199 (about US$54) per month, paid in advance; each paid month gets a new key, and nothing renews or charges by itself. One-time: AED 800 (about US$218), paid once, including 1 year of updates; after that year the version you have keeps working, and an optional update renewal is AED 250 (about US$68) per year. Both cover 1 PC plus 1 backup PC. The 7-day trial is free.

What happens when a monthly licence ends?

The app works as it does at the end of the trial: you can still open your files and see their pages, and a job that is already running finishes, but starting a new job needs a new key. Pay for the next month and we send a new key; paste it and everything works again straight away. The end date is shown in the app.

Do my documents get uploaded anywhere?

No. Every job runs on your own computer. The app does not send documents, file names, passwords or anything else to any server, and it makes no internet connections.

Does it need an internet connection?

No. You can install it, use it and activate a licence key without internet. The only online action is the Buy a licence button, which opens this website in your browser.

Will compression make my PDF smaller?

Often, when the PDF contains large images, such as scans or photos. Text, fonts and forms are not changed. Results depend on the file, so we do not promise a percentage. If a file cannot be made smaller, the app tells you and writes no new file; your original is always unchanged.

Is the signature image a digital signature?

No. It places a picture of your signature on the page, like a stamp. It is not a digital certificate, does not lock the file and does not prove who signed. Ask your legal adviser whether a picture of a signature is acceptable for your document. If a PDF already has a digital signature, the app warns you that the new copy will not keep it valid; the original stays unchanged.

What if I forget a password I set?

Nobody can open that file without the password, including us. The app cannot recover it. Keep the password somewhere safe. To remove a password, you need to know it; the app never guesses or cracks passwords.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. The app includes a 7-day trial with every tool and no watermark. After the trial you can still open files and see their pages; running new jobs needs a licence key.

Is it the same licence as ListingReady or Real Estate Reel Maker?

No. Each app has its own licence key. If you already use one of them, your machine code is the same, so we can issue several keys from one message.

Can I move the licence to a new computer?

Yes. Send us the new machine code and we will issue a replacement key at no charge. A replacement for a monthly licence keeps the same end date. There is no automatic transfer because the app does not phone home.

Why does Windows show an Unknown publisher or SmartScreen warning?

The installer is not code-signed yet, and Windows warns about any new unsigned installer. Also, on some PCs the very first start after installing can take longer while security software scans the new program. Check the SHA-256 checksum we publish for the installer to confirm it is the genuine file, then choose More info and Run anyway if you are comfortable.

Do you offer refunds?

Please use the free 7-day trial first; it exists so you can check the app on your own documents before paying. Once a key has been issued, a licence, including a monthly licence, is not refundable. The exceptions are being charged twice, not receiving a working key, or us being unable to get the app to install or activate on a supported PC after reasonable help. The full terms are on the licence terms page.

Is it safe to install? What does it include?

The app is built from open, commercially licensed components, including qpdf for PDF structure work. The sources of the open-source libraries are offered for download next to the installer, and the full notices are inside the app. It has no ads, no tracking and no hidden background services.
