Sheaf — Local PDF Workbench

Sheaf does PDF page work in one place, without sending your files anywhere. Most PDF tools upload your document to a server, do the work there, and send it back. That is why they are split into a dozen separate tools — each one is a round trip. Sheaf runs entirely inside your browser, so it does not need that shape. ONE GRID INSTEAD OF A DOZEN TOOLS Drop in PDFs and images and every page becomes a tile in a single grid. Select the pages you want, act on them, and export once: • Merge — drop in two or more files and their pages land in the same grid • Split and extract — select the pages you want, export the selection • Delete pages — select and press Delete • Reorder — drag tiles; drag a selection to move it as a block • Rotate — select and press ] or [ • PDF to JPG or PNG — export as images, at 72, 150 or 300 DPI • JPG or PNG to PDF — drop images in and export as a PDF There is no tool to choose first, and no exporting and re-importing to do two things to the same document. GENUINELY PRIVATE, NOT JUST PROMISED • The extension requests no permissions at all. Chrome's install screen will confirm it. • It makes no network requests. Nothing to disable, no setting to trust. • Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored. Your files are read in memory and released. • It works offline, including on a plane or an air-gapped machine. This matters most for the documents you would never upload in the first place — bank statements, contracts, medical records, ID scans. CONVENIENCES • Undo and redo, up to 50 steps • Full keyboard control, with a built-in shortcut reference (press ?) • Light and dark, following your system setting • Handles large documents: page previews render as you scroll rather than all at once HONEST LIMITATIONS • Password-protected PDFs are not supported yet. Sheaf tells you so rather than producing a broken file. • There is no compression. Doing it well needs server-side tooling, so it is left out rather than shipped badly. • Form fields and some annotations are not carried across when pages are copied. • Your work is not saved between sessions. Closing the tab discards the grid. Sheaf is free, and has no accounts, no upsells and no analytics.
