About Astha PDF
Astha means trust. This is a free set of PDF tools built so that you never have to hand your documents to a stranger to use them.
Why it exists
Most online PDF tools ask you to upload your documents to their servers, then limit how much you can do unless you pay or sign up. Many of those documents are contracts, bank statements and identity papers.
Astha PDF takes the other route. The work happens in your browser, so your files stay with you, and because that costs almost nothing to run, the tools can be free without limits.
What you can do today
What is coming
Roughly in this order.
- Convert
- Images to PDF, PDF to images, PDF to text, scanning with your camera.
- Edit and sign
- Add text and images, sign, fill in forms, watermarks and page numbers.
- Optimize and protect
- Compress, add or remove a password, redact, and text recognition for scans.
Converting Word, Excel and PowerPoint files needs a server, so those tools will arrive once donations can cover the cost. They will say clearly that they upload your file.
Who pays for it
