April 22, 2026 Why I built yet another PDF converter (and how it’s different)

Hey Indie Hackers! 👋

I recently launched my new project, PDFduck

To be honest, there are already a ton of PDF tools out there. But as a developer, I was getting frustrated with existing solutions that are either bloated with ads, too slow, or restrict basic features behind paywalls.

So, I decided to build a clean, lightning-fast alternative. I focused heavily on the UI/UX and keeping the backend smooth (hosted on Cloudflare). It's been a great learning curve figuring out the API integrations and optimizing the conversion speed.

I’m currently trying to gather some initial feedback. If you have a minute, I’d love for you to try it out and roast my landing page or let me know what features you think are absolutely essential for a tool like this.

Here is the link: pdfduck.app

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

About

Every "free" PDF converter uploaded my files, added watermarks, or forced sign-ups. So I built one that runs 100% in your browser. Files never leave your device. Forever free.
