September 20, 2026 I built PDFixel — 40+ web-based tools for PDF, image, Office, and video file processing

Hi Indie Hackers,

I built PDFixel — browser-based tools for PDF, image, Office, and video files.

The problem I wanted to solve: most online file tools require uploading documents to a server before processing. For sensitive documents, that creates an unnecessary privacy concern.

PDFixel processes file contents on the user's device directly in the browser.

Currently available:

- PDF editing, merging, splitting, and compression

- PDF conversion and OCR

- Image compression, conversion, and background removal

- Office file utilities

- Video compression

The goal is simple: make everyday file processing faster and more private without installing heavy software.

I’d love feedback from founders and builders:

What file workflows do you still find frustrating?
