BoostPDF is an all-in-one, browser-based PDF editor and document management platform developed in Wellington, New Zealand. It was created to address the limitations of slow, complex PDF software by offering a fast, accessible alternative that runs entirely in the web browser. The platform provides over 30 tools covering most common PDF workflows.
Privacy-First Design
BoostPDF prioritizes user privacy by performing most editing tasks such as text editing, annotations, form filling, and page reordering—directly in the browser. Files are not uploaded, stored, or shared, and session data is cleared when editing ends. Features that require server processing, including OCR and compression, use encrypted handling with automatic file deletion.
Editing and Document Management
The platform supports true PDF text editing, allowing modification of existing text while maintaining layout and formatting. Additional tools include annotations, drawings, digital signatures, image insertion, stamps, and form elements. Users can also merge, split, crop, rotate, and reorder pages using a drag-and-drop interface.
AI, OCR, and Conversion
BoostPDF includes AI-based document summarization and OCR for converting scanned PDFs into searchable, editable files. It also supports conversion between PDF and formats such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and images.
Compression, Access, and Pricing
Flexible compression options reduce file sizes while preserving quality. BoostPDF works across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android without installation. It operates on a freemium model with daily limits and optional premium plans for unlimited access.
