What PDFClear focuses on
PDFClear is built around everyday PDF jobs: merge PDF files, split or extract PDF pages, compress PDF size, rotate pages, add page numbers, convert images and text to PDF, protect or unlock PDFs, and use private AI tools for summarizing or searching documents. The key difference is that the core workflow runs in your browser, so files do not need to be uploaded just to complete common PDF tasks.
